Just so I understand your first point – you're saying that Tik Tok appears to be more authentic because:

1. the format

2. it has a better, younger, denser, more curated pool of content creators

I agree that these are probably true points, but I'm not immediately convinced they're upstream of the feeling of "authenticity." It does seem interesting to me that that's something the "Surgers" called out

edit: formatting

That is fair
