    TikTok is popular because it’s addicting, not because it’s useful, so I don’t understand why anyone would use this.

      TikTok is profitable because it is addictive. But the idea that short-form video is less useful than print or radio is flawed.

      I don’t understand why anyone would use this.

      For the same reason someone would turn on the TV, download a podcast, or pick up a magazine.
