It would be, I forgot to mention an important piece: Cellular data is typically metered relatively strictly (most plans I've seen allow "unlimited", but it's usually slowed way down if you use more than 10-15gb in a month) where most home internet connections aren't, and with something like TikTok the expected use is mobile. If we're going with the like = seed option, that does imply the seeding is happening from the device that liked the video.

With the Odysee model, I could set up my home PC (on an unmetered* connection) to have, say, 250gb set aside for videos to be shared from. It would be an intentional act that is unambiguously using up some bandwidth/data, and can't be as easily misunderstood by the end user. Maybe find some way to incentivise it (preferably not crypto, but I do dislike this implementation of crypto less than most), but largely I think helping the community would be incentive for enough people to keep the network going, at least for a while.

*They're technically metered, but every internet plan I've seen limits you to terabytes of data up/down, not gigabytes
