I dunno. Pressure from advertisers has put an end to beheading videos and that genre of video from the Russia-Ukraine war which looks a bit like WWII-era footage of bombs being dropped out of a plane from 30,000 feet except it is a little bomb being dropped from 30 feet by a cheap drone on one person's head.
If advertisers felt as strongly about fake cooking videos and deadly "challenges" on TikTok they could get those eliminated but on a certain level advertisers want a "set" which is a bit dreamlike in which critical thinking has no place.
