From what I can tell, TikTok is a strangely self-perpetuating marketing engine with lots of paid influencers... look at BookTok, for example, all of the smut authors seemingly have all these "organic" influencers that make videos and memes about all of the smuttiest slop books and women eat this up like crazy.
There are basically these communities that have these "influencers" that guide the conversations about what is hot, and users make their own videos and comments about it. Just go check out BookTok-type stuff yourself and see. It doesn't look very organic but the VIEWS that smut books get are off the charts. Smut books for women are like porn in the early 00's for men from what I can tell, female sexual liberation has reached a point where they consume and pay for sexual material more than men it seems!
If you don't believe me, go look at BookTok and check out all the talk about "romantasy" type books, it's fucking incredible. Same on GoodReads. Rape fantasy type stuff, "enemies to lovers" they call it, is so popular. The writing is so bad and grade 7 level, but women eat this shit up like a Milf Hunter gallery in 2001!
