TikTok released a list of the 2023 top videos: animals, cooking, makeup, and singing made the cut.
The list was all uplifting, joyful content. Which doesn't match the reality of my "For You" page.
It probably doesn't match yours, either: These lists are a piece of marketing — not reality.

TikTok just released its best of 2023 list. If you haven't seen some of the top 10 most popular videos — or even any at all — that doesn't mean you're not tragically addicted to TikTok.
