What makes TikTok unique and different from other social media platforms?

Millennials and Gen Zs like S-I-N-C (Short-form, Influencer Driven, Native and Co-Created content), and as the world embraces the mobile era, TikTok has become the preferred platform for expression, especially among this generation. From a community perspective, TikTok is a platform that allows users to express their creative ideas through their content, giving rise to extremely interactive challenges and trending topics that anyone can participate in. Of course, TikTok encourages creation through the easy-to-use video capturing and editing tools, resulting in a pool of very diversified content, and providing a direct way for creators and fans to connect.
