@notnotmike @yogthos the addictive characteristic of Tiktok isn’t about a massive amount of quality, but quantity hidden among mid quality content. Just all grade-A content wouldn’t set off the dopamine that getting dud, after dud, after dud, jackpot, dud again, dud, dud, dud, dud, maybe jackpot no, dud, dud, dud… is a clear path to dopamine
Much like a slot machine, the algorithm can intersperse jackpot and near jackpot amongst mostly dud content that makes it very addictive.
