It's funny because lately my tiktok feed is full of AI voice overs, people trying to sell some crap, and viewer farming channels. Every 10-15 videos I get some watchable content and maybe 1 explicit Palestine video in a 30 min session, eventhough I follow political accounts.

I barely open TikTok anymore because my experience is the exact opposite: a whole bunch of people with Palestine takes or just recounting the latest harrowing thing happening in Gaza.

Y'all gotta get better at slapping your algo around when it's not working for you. If you're burned out on something tell it you're not interested until it stops. You can also go search it up later if you need to. I got stuck on chicken videos for weeks before I finally just had to start saying I wasn't interested lmao

This is algo because my entire feed is ML posts and Palestine now.

I miss my dance content tbh I like dances :(

Here's my favorite one I got a few minutes ago. Maybe if you interact with it you can get your algo back on track lol

Ohhhh no the stuff I'm into is like, mega weeb cosplay dances lmao.

This kind of thing (i'm so jealous yaorenmao is so good)

I used to get mountains of it but it's been entirely replaced with communism now and it makes me very sad to lose my funsie content. The problem I think is that I like literally every single communist thing I see to support it for algo but... Well. Now I have too much of it. It's a dilemma!

One of my guilty pleasures definitely isn't a cosplaying couple that dances to their Mario bros fan fiction lore 😳

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 3 points 8 months ago

Lol ok so I don't need to be that embarrassed for loving this stuff then haha

Mine has good days and bad days. I've noticed that I'm less likely to see creators I like on my fyp if I follow them which seems really counterintuitive lol. I stopped following people and just interacting with content I like and it got much better. I know I can just go to my following page but I swear it's broken or something. It'll say I'm out of content after showing me month old videos but when I go to their page they have more recent stuff. It's weird

As far as palatine videos I'm the opposite. I'm drowning in the suckers. I'll even get stuff that's just posted with like 5 views. When the algo is working it is incredible but when it's not working right it feels like total ass

default tiktok content is shitty it takes a bit to curate it. i feel like following doesn't matter as much, are you hitting like on those kinda videos and pressing "not interested" on the stuff you don't wanna see? commenting also matters, it's basically a second or third like regardless of what's in it. my fyp is all political stuff, memes, edits, music, anime, games, interests, pretty much exclusively stuff i might like (except for the inevitable ads/"sponsored"/"elgibile for commission" posts which are instantly skippable unlike any other platform)
