"tok" as a suffix for short form video is unhinged


Personally I see it as implying two things - Infinite scrolling - Heavily curated algorithms

Although in this instance, it's just selecting from wikipedia randomly


Like -gate as a suffix for a scandal?

Anyway, it beats all the other names mentioned and suggested here. It rhymes with tiktok, and it even has “ik” in the first part. It’s immediately understandable. Don’t try to apply logic.
