I will add something overlooked, the children might not be on tiktok but they might be on youtube watching videos made of chained tiktok videos. Based on my personal observation the rapid, repeated change of scene (5 to 8 seconds) trigger some sort of addiction combined with not understanding what's going on, as well as inability to talk with friends about the scene (too little time). i observed one of my daughter's friends completely shutdown and forgetting we were even there. We kept calling her, she didn't even respond. I'm still shocked. Granted there is way more than the tv problem, this is just the last of a long chain. I suspect the boredom signal is important.
