TikTok is filled popularity enthusiasts. That is their only concern: winning the algorithm lottery. It is a completely different environment than the web prior to 2.0. I... would hope you would know this?

I’m sure you know the motivation of every TikToker. And in the old days, no one tried to promote their website or find viewers? I guess the reason for web rings and why every little page had a view counter had nothing to do with wanting to be seen?

Or maybe your chauvinism make you think that showing of some technical prowess (because HTML with a bit of ecma script was really hard), is for some reason more valuable than dancing, singing, crafts or stupid jokes?
