Technically, probably very little.

Practically I think it's more diverse content and easier access to other people/fame/glamour for kids than Instagram, Snapchat, or even YouTube/Twitch/etc, since those platforms have been cornered by an existing group of "influencers."

It's probably just a different kind of dopamine hit that kids can't get elsewhere.

Technically, TikTok is better at loading video than any other app I’ve used. Seeing a loading state on a video is so rare it makes me think something is wrong when I see it. And its recommendation engine (for you page) blows everyone else out of the water.
