TikTok is basically an algorithm to crowd source superficially engaging content in order to keep people staring at the app as long as possible to show ads (and propaganda) while the app hoovers up data.

True. Yet if you look at it from a UI perspective. The name of the "creator" is tugged away on the most left which in most cases you wont see as you swipe away.
Yes, you might see the face of the person who made it, but there is a multitude of videos without personally identifying features.
Contrast that with LinkedIn, you see a post and the immediately visible information is the person who wrote it, what's his/her role is, and only then the content.
