A captive audience does not create truth. Certainly, it demonstrates the ability to control the narrative in a sticky social network (the DAUs you mention), but it does not create truth in of itself. Real people consume brain rot at scale on TikTok, does that make that content truth? Some of the content may contain facts and truth, but anything that is not that is a shared delusion, opinions, and entertainment.
