The discovery tab (For You) is awesome. Its the first social app where the discovery tab is better than your feed, so much more that you can actually use it without following anyone. It's quite addictive too, you can easily spend half an hour watching videos.

The way the discovery tab works also created a meta game: Alt TikTok, Deep TikTok, Elite TikTok, ...

The exclusivity aspect is there too, very few users are over 30, but it's not the driver.

alt tiktok is mostly some counter culture users between the ages of 16 and 30. dyed hair, 90s influences, and lqbtq+ supportive. It's a whole aesthetic and rallies against "straight tiktok". You dont want to get stuck on a straight tiktok algorthmic FYP (for you page) feed. Other popular mini tiktok areas include frogtiktok and the holy grail, prison tiktok.

deep tiktok is weird video effect stuff, deep fried meme kinda stuff... I dont want it.

tbh it seems like the distinction being made by the stuff about 'alt-lit twitter' and 'weird-facebook' from a few years back
