It sounds like a tremendous amount of creativity, but limited in scope to making videos? It seems kind of narrowly focused on entertainment.

Sorta but in a lot of TikTok niches the endgame isn't really a video, that's just how it's presented. All the hobbyist communities make videos that show off their work and inspire others in their bubble. Like sure the video is "entertainment" in that it holds your attention but that's pretty much the extent of it.

Like hobby TikTok is genuinely just a bunch of nerds being genuinely excited to show you something they're passionate about or something they made. It's so god damn refreshing. Like the early days of Tumblr.

...or anything else that you can fit into video, such as news and politics or education and editorial.
