Tiktok isn't yet peak engagement.
They should add eye tracking so that they know which part of the video you're looking at combined with facial reading to detect your emotional response. This saves users from the enormous effort of having to swipe or like. Fully effortless auto learning.
Holding a phone is also kind of tiring so let's project it into your eye balls using AR, plus you can't really look away.
You'll now have the ultimate human reprogramming machine. You can now change their opinion, culture, perspective, shopping behavior, or any behavior.
Pretty much any conspiracy theory you could think of would not be crazy, actually attainable. Technically, we're about 5 minutes away from it.
Given Facebook and Youtube's panicky response to this success, you can be sure that the model will be rolled out across tech. You'll be doing music and reading in a similar way soon. And that doesn't even take into account AI content generation, which is another revolution on top of AI recommendation.
I'll end with my final prediction. Some 10 years from now, when society is pretty much wrecked beyond recognition, there will be a hearing in congress: "so uhm...what is Tiktok? Is it like a website? Does it work with a mouse?".
