Content consumption is ever evolving, and TikTok's surge during the pandemic brought about significant shifts. Back then, some people hopped on it, showcasing their dance moves to trending tunes, leaving the uninitiated with the impression that TikTok was solely about that. However, diving into the platform reveals a myriad of diverse content. Today, TikTok reigns as the top platform, even outstripping Google in Gen Z’s groups' search trends.
