I interpreted it as TikTok is associated with children. Thus as a user the kid is still a kid and not an adult

Sure, this interpretation falls in the old man understanding of tiktok, someone who has never been to tiktok.

Current day tiktok is full of people of all ages and the feed adjusts to your interaction with the platform, so you won't see a single kid unless you specifically take actions for it.

It's not about seeing kids on the platform. It's about short form content, short attention spans, and shallow takes. I don't think the idea of maturity breeding patience and interest in deeper levels of understanding of topics is all that controversial.

I tried using Tik Tok, and just spent more time searching for full sources to what I saw than I spent in the actual app. It was deleted long ago because I think it's rather crap for content, however that is just my opinion.
