I can't speak for TikTok, but I'll answer the question regarding the internet in general. Ever since I started really digging deep into the internet in 2004, I've felt something calling to me. The coolest thing in the universe is probably just a couple clicks away, it felt like. Of course, that is slightly different on today's internet, but it isn't complately gone. There's plenty of cool stuff left. Something simple like Marginalia's random website finder is a good window into that. That's where I found the Library of Babel, among other very cool sites. And interestingly, online, in one form or another, I've found most of the people I consider closest to me, so I have found many treasures online.
