TikTok thinks people ought to doom scroll and videos ought to autoplay for them so they can be hooked. It’s an engineered behavior. Society as a whole is an engineered behavior shaping mechanism. Humans aren’t what they are in the first place because we are literally shaped by our environment.

you are right that environment plays a huge part but I'd argue that even engineered behaviours are rooted in "what we are", TikTok is exploiting our desire for instant gratification, curiosity and need for social validation.
