Why would you post a pay walled study?

It doesn't even show the abstract, this post is pointless except to people who only read headlines and never understand anything...

    What I can read of the posted link states it’s a summary of this open access article.

    Right...

    And if OP had linked that, it would have made sense.

    Instead they linked a pay walled summary of something that people could actually read. Which was pointless.

    Edit:

    Likely due to OP "headline shopping"...

    The one people can actual read would have had to be titled:

    Systematic partisan content skews in TikTok during the 2024 US elections

    OP wanted something that looked like an academic study but had a editorialized headline...

    And if you want that, you can't link real studies, the best you can do is summaries, which are published like a study but isn't abstudy
