I watch more tiktok than I'm proud of, and YouTube is actually way worse for this. Youtube I've actually started using some private browsing for things that I think might turn to Joe Rogan or whatever because on that platform you're like 7 videos from "i'd like to check out some camping videos" to "here's how to protect yourself from the woke mob in the apocalypse which will happen next Tuesday courtesy of Ben Shapiro."
The thing that worries me about tiktok is they're too good at this. It would honestly be extremely easy for them to tip the scales.
