It's pretty obvious here that you don't understand how tik tok works..

This is true. The only thing I know about TikTok is that my teenage daughter avoids it because, in her own words, "it's just a bunch of teenage girls posting dance videos and the pedophiles that follow them." Thus my surprise at a 40 year old woman getting 43 million views posting about literature.

Sure, a valid perspective as that totally IS one of the many facets of the app just like Facebook, or Reddit. Personally I enjoy gardening and farmsteading accounts on tik tok. The algorithm will do its thing. If you don't actively watch or like videos of underage children, you won't see it! Wild stuff.

As for the random viral video from the 43yr old, that's also what tik tok does. It'll push posts onto the 'for you page' and it's really hit or miss what launches, she got lucky. It totally happens like, a lot. *edit: missed a word
