Is TikTok just for funniness, or does it have content that conveys information?

It does have content with actual information, it's just difficult to cram it into the format. First the limit was 6 seconds, then upped to 15, and I believe the current limit is a minute.

So when it does contain some information, people usually talk far too quickly. Like you're scrolling through fun shit that doesn't require you to think at all and then you're suddenly looking at an equivalent of a YouTube video at 2x the speed.
