it’s by far the most advanced algorithm at feeding me solid reoccurring and new content I actually want to see.

Well, yes, that’s the problem. It’s designed by psychology experts to extract as much dopamine as possible from your glands so that you continue using TikTok instead of doing literally anything else with your time, allowing them to expose you to ads and sell fucktons of your data. Algorithms good enough to be addictive ought to be illegal, they’re predatory, take advantage of quirks in our brain’s reward system, and steal tons of time from our lives we could be using on more fulfilling things.

I only want to weigh in with the opposite experience, not trying to convince anyone or make a point. But I’ve had an account for over a year, a few subscriptions, just wholesome or comedic stuff, and get the most garbage or vile sewage on my feed. I am reluctant to open a link to TikTok, because I know it will show me something horrible first. Anyone else have this experience?
