For me it's not the short video format only.

Each time I installed TikTok (for whatever reason or event on a specific channel), I was met with a cringefest on the home screen. So bad I didn't even want to look further.

Also the app is a privacy nightmare and most like still is a phone spy, taking whatever is in the accessible phone memory and sending it.

Also due to the platform design, fake information looking as "real" and sensational is more pushed. So how would someone know it's fake, I don't know. Just reputable channels coming from. YouTube or whatever would be good enough.
