Not sure why you were downvoted. This is exactly my experience. TikTok content is just better.

All Instagram feeds I've seen are boring attention-grabbing videos from so-called influencers. TikTok is grandma cooking pasta, my weird cousin doing some funny shit on his bedroom, some random bloke making a joke to his dog and the dog farts... I know. It sounds stupid... but it's way more entertaining.

Might be the culture (Instagram was already ridden with influencer culture), might be the algorithm, but TikTok content is just more entertaining. The fact that the app is better (which it is) is just the silver lining.
