The endless praise for TikTok here is very confusing. I don't think it's in bad faith the account age of the commenters all seem normal and the like.

I don't have any strong hatred of TikTok myself but usually HN are a privacy concerned skeptical bunch and this is very weird.

I don't have an account with Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. I dislike lots of social media. Here's what I like about TikTok:

1) Quality content

2) Excellent content curation (better than YouTube recommended videos)

3) Not needing to have an account makes me happy

4) I can watch tiktoks shared with me from others without an account and without even visiting the site (videos can be downloaded or ripped using CLI programs).
