I think TikTok is also significantly more proficient than Vine (was) at predicting whether any given individual will engage with any given video.

there was a bottomless pit of money to pay for advertising on facebook to get it up to critical mass, I wonder where that might have come from?

Have you ever heard of a term called venture capital? It's pretty neat and you should definitely learn more about it, especially considering the site you are posting on.
"Factory TikTok, in other words, isn’t about workers documenting their own labor, but is primarily a marketing scheme devised by their employers, many of whom may be under increasing financial pressure."
I seem to remember reading something about Facebook being part of the reason TikTok succeeded while Vine failed? Facebook didn't see TikTok as a competitor like it viewed Vine, and promoted it more on Facebook? And now TikTok is a giant. ( I hope I have that right. )
