it's a "superior" product because it's new and not yet commercialized. once it is, you'll get the same sort of gaming (influencer culture, ad placement, etc) that you see in every other social media

How is the product not commercialized? Tik Tok has ads and influencers.

Yeah, somehow they are able to keep the heavy ads and influencer heavy stuff out of my feed. Probably, it will eventually creep in.

Because their ads product is underdeveloped and in closed beta. It'll be there soon.

haha very possible, but it is still quite shocking to me that my mom, who is almost 60, keep telling me how fun it is...
