Seriously, I have a roommate who is ostensibly a nice guy, never says anything sexist/racist or whatever, and our living situation involves a Black/indigenous woman. But I hear him listening to TikToks all the time that are just the most vile misogynist or weirdly tradtional viewpoints (“women, if you make dinner but your husband don’t like it, what do you do as a good wife?” etc). I feel like he’s probably not even choosing these toks, they’re just unavoidable.

My TikTok feed is full of communists, he’s engaging with the content, and it’s responding in kind.
swear to god tho your algo gets reset every so often if you engage with commie content regularly. my fyp will be good for like a week then all of a sudden its back to liberal/fascist content till i retrain the fuckin thing
In a communist utopia, if you wanted to watch trashy social media garbage while you take the train home after a long day you should be forced to hunt for it in one big alphabetical directory that looks like mid-‘90s Yahoo. Recommendation algorithms are inherently reactionary and after the revolution they must be abolished.
Nah, just replace the current algorithms with ones that boost commies and suppress and ban reactionaries.
ban reactionaries but fuck algorithms
content is so homogenous at the moment
I think for me it was probably that I liked watching sports clips. So it didn’t matter how many times I tried to block reactionary shit fromy feed
Idk it might be because he does fuck with motivational/grindset sort of shit. He’s also white. When I was on TikTok it just kept feeding me dancing Latina women because it knew I’m a male and I can speak Spanish lol. I successfully trained it to feed me MOSTLY stuff about life in rural China and music stuff but the garbage was always waiting to bubble to the surface

Yeah I really feel like the app is kind of default shitty and then if you’re a milquetoast white guy like him then the app just feeds you progressively more sexist right-wingy content because you’re a white guy who doesn’t critically engage with the content. It’s like it only changes if you somehow signal you’re non-white non-male
