This is the way of the figurative boomer, in the parlance of our times. In 5-10 years, something will have replaced TikTok, if trends of the past continue. It's possible, in the same way that humans broke out of evolutionary balance, that an app such as TikTok and its machine learning algorithms can break out of the evolutionary balance of what teens find intriguing or "in", but that remains to be seen.
I don't know why any company would try to target the current "in" thing. That shows that not only are they behind but that they are behind a minimum of two generations of "in" apps/things. So Google and Facebook are just showing that they only know what was next and not what is actually next.

It's not an either/or strategy anyway, as will be seen by the insane biddings for a perceived next big thing; you can't typically innovate within an established org anyway.
