> TikTok is not a social network I mean... it's made up of people "socializing", just through videos. People dancing to trends, doing duets. "hey what's your tiktok so I can see what you post/who you follow/what you like/what defines you as a person socially partially" It for sure has a social aspect. It's kind of splitting hairs to say it isn't a social network. I agree. It isn't Facebook. I'm not catching up with relatives in the DMs of TikTok. But scrolling through "people" and what they post certainly does feel social. People can build a brand for themselves (good or bad). You can interact by commenting + tagging / @ mentioning users, that can lead to jokes/followup videos, etc. Trends/dances/sounds/songs can go viral. What makes something viral? People thinking it's viral. Sounds like social/society to me.
