Looking at the content there... i don't think they are getting anything good...
I don't know if it is intended to hook into some sort of attention hack where they abuse the fact that humans are stimulated by movement and color, so a video with a game background is more appealing/attractive than one without, but it's too much stimulus for me to enjoy it. I try to avoid brain junk food most of the time.
In execution, I really don't like how much it tries to hotwire our brains to scroll endlessly/seek attention so it can sneak ads in between. I also don't like how so much of it is geared toward instant gratification.
Will we someday feel the same way about social media that we do about tobacco companies? "People willingly addicting themselves to something for the profit of a corporation" sounds dystopian but we've been here for years...

I completely agree with you. It's junk! But expect to see my first paragraph as a common rebuttal.
I don't think the people promoting it for gardening tips are being objective. The app is _designed_ to keep you scrolling.
That's exactly it.
Your ADHD brain is satiated by the bright color and movement and you pause long enough for the actual content to get the interesting part.
