Except that none of my interests can put anything useful in a 60 second video.

What's an example of a "niche interest" that TikTok picks up and does well on?

TikTok seems to be well adapted to create the ADHD dopamine hit to waste time, but is it of any use beyond that?

TikToks can be up to 3 minutes long and can be multipart. There’s tons of things that you can learn in 3 minutes or less: stuff about plants, music, mechanics, History, fashion, animals, lifestyle… And TikTok has a community vibe, some songs transcend the niches, that’s why everyone has heard the Wellerman song for instance.

Note that TikTok’s success is a response to The artificially 10-15 minutes long videos on YouTube. Strip the ads, the sponsorships and the algorithms which requires 10 minutes and you have TikTok.
