TikTok is great because it values good content above else. Every other social media platform tends to value followers and popularity over content to reach people.

Facebook: Number of friends

Instagram: Number of followers

Twitter: Number of followers

Snapchat: Number of friends

YouTube: Unsure exactly, but hard to go viral

TikTok: Value of your content

Consistently on TikTok you see very popular users with millions of followers only get a few thousand views.

That’s the best part of TikTok. You make good content, and the platform puts you to the top. Your popularity does not matter. Everyone gets a fair chance. It’s absolutely fantastic.
