TikTok is probably the easiest way for any average person to put content on the internet. Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter are still more intimidating than "point phone and hit record". Because it is so easy to put something on TikTok more people than every are posting things to the world (not just to friend/family groups) than ever. The content I comes from people who range in age from teenage to retiree, from every country, profession, and economic group. TikTok also has a discovery mechanism that gives every video a chance to get at least some views. I've seen videos that only have a dozen likes of a clutch of 5 robin eggs growing up and flying out of the next, videos on how to start a diesel locomotive, and marketing videos from a Chinese factory where "Roger" promotes his LED signs using English spoken in different American regional accents. My favorite videos recently are from "deeptok" (which, ironically, has gone pretty mainstream) of supremely obtuse, absurdist, random stuff like mulch wizard: https://www.tiktok.com/@patrick.lllll/video/7358144823108373...
