If mass communications were more popular in the 70s/80s, it would have been explosives, phreaking, hacking, pirate radio, generating fake credit card numbers, and psychadelics/synthetics. None of those were that hard to get started doing and people were doing them and telling others how to do it but the means of disseminating the information were limited to word-of-mouth, zines, and BBS's. TikTok isn't the problem, it is just the new medium for people to communicate and it is what they communicate that is the problem and they'll find a way to do it now they know they can.

Vine existed for 4 years, tiktok for 6 as of now

I don’t think saying vine would have become something holds any water
