    It lowers the barrier of entry for many new content creators. And does boost some of the previously suppressed voices.

    If you are disciplined and learn to tame their algorithm to your will, you can discover many rich cultures in action that you never knew even existed.

      Agreed 100%. The marginalized voices who I previously never or rarely heard has been invaluable. There is so much to learn from marginalized voices who normally don’t have a platform.

      That’s not to say TikTok is free from problems. It absolutely does fail to protect marginalized voices from things like harassment campaigns. Both from mass reports and hateful comment spamming.
