TikTok in early to mid 2020 was truly an amazing place. But as video length has gotten longer, and with the addition of photo slideshows, there's been a rapid falloff in the unique quirkiness that made it more interesting than, say, YouTube. Now it's more like a YouTube where the creators are much lazier about presentation and you have very little control over what you watch.

Slideshows are pretty great. I enjoy meme slideshows and some of the recurring gags that are just 2 slides (e.g. "I feel like that wasn't my best friend last night ... that was the devil.")
