People mostly play old and familiar content likely because it's totally exhausting now to find favorable new content.

Too many of my older favorite artists like Tracy Chapman don't even release music any more because of the lack of reward and respect involved in releasing music now, it's disheartening to post your hard work and not get any notable views, especially when they're a grammy winner. Even notable musicians from the past don't get views now, not because the music isn't good, they don't get views because often the music isn't "TikTok Clip Worthy".

If TikTok only had a tool to scroll through songs (music videos), with a much better method of preventing spam, playing everything uploaded fairly, and that was better at preventing repetitive plays, that's likely what would make new music discovery far far easier for everyone.
