I remember hearing similar things about Instagram vs. Facebook many years ago.

Could this just be a honeymoon phase before the SEO experts arrive in force to help make content go viral while ByteDance starts testing different monetization strategies by messing with the feed?

It felt like that for a bit but then they (Tiktok) just pushed a release that removed reposts/memes from the main FYP feed. All of a sudden, it became much more interesting again.

But I agree with the overall point that at some point people will learn how to game it.
