Social media has become something very different from what we had at the end of the first decade of this century. In 2008, in Europe, Facebook triumphed and Twitter positioned itself as the social network to stay up to date with the news. In 2024, this has changed a lot, and Facebook is no longer as relevant as before, and X, after its name change, has gone into a tailspin, with alternative options with much greater growth.
One of the biggest changes of the last three decades has been the arrival of TikTok. on the Olympus of social networks. This Chinese application has positioned itself as the default entertainment application, courtesy of YouTube, which seems to be the only video platform that manages to offer something different from vertical videos, although it also has them.
One of the strengths of the ByteDance application is that it has managed to allow everyone to use it for a different thing, thanks to its powerful algorithm. While it's normal to watch sports, comedy, or dance videos, there are people who use it to follow movie trends, discover places to eat, and even search for recipes. And this social network has several features that allow us to use it for this in a simple way.
Categories and organization. As in any application of this style, it is possible to save elements, in this case videos, to view them later. Or simply because we liked them and we want to locate them. In the case of TikTok we can also create different folders, so it is possible to organize recipes based on what we cook: desserts, drinks, meats, fish…
Speed. Although longer videos are now allowed, most recipes are designed to be made simply and, above all, quickly. It helps a lot to want to try new things, because we know that we are not going to spend hours in the kitchen without knowing if the dish we are preparing will turn out well or not.

Videos. The last reason why it is convenient to use this application as a search engine for recipes is that the format that displays them is multimedia. Not only do we see step by step how the dish should turn out, but we also listen to the person who prepares it, which sometimes helps us not to make mistakes.
