TikTok feeding us what we apparently value is its biggest danger.

When people out of mere curiosity watch something biased/misrepresented/discriminatory/extreme and interact with that content, irrespective of whether all their opinions at that moment of time are the same as that of the content they watched, the algorithm will aggressively push similar content onto you, and there will definitely be a few who fall into "the doom".

Have you actually used the app? This is absolutely not how it works. You aren't shoved down rabbit holes like with YouTube.
