TikTok and Telegram are pretty the same: 1) you can have TikTok on Telegram, by having a general better experience on Telegram (obviously you cannot check related song videos directly on Telegram ...) 2) both have a bad search feature, even if still less shitty than Instagram. Currently TikTok implemented it on TikTok Desktop, but the feature still remains huge limited 3) both can be used directly on the browser. Most other smartphones social network don't directly offer that. Snapchat added such support few days ago. 4) due to issue 2 and issues related to a bad TikTok AI, that works (if this works...) generally only on likes, you can have a really bad TikTok experience, complaining that on TikTok there are just shit videos (which is right, especially now after they increased the video duration to up to 10 min). Without a proper search you will not find good contents (and obviously we don't mean most liked videos ...) 5) both socials have a low ban quote, even if TikTok has more than Telegram and in the last time they even started to increase that, especially after the war 6) both socials, near YouTube, are the future. Facebook, Twitter and Reddit still remain the king for searching infos/medias.

PS: obviously TikTok feed still works differently compared to other socials, which means that you even get some good videos on a "bad feed" (if no likes or configurations have been done).
