...as is actively demoting entire classes of content (like critical commentary on politics) from the start

The closest app TikTok is comparable to is Vine. What kind of critical commentary on politics are you expecting on these apps?

People watch these apps for the memes and hot girls.

Every means and mode of communication can be used for politics. Surely you don't mean to argue that this is impossible when it's TikTok.
