Tried to use Tiktok a while back, had to stop after a week because once the algorithm “realized” I was a man it would not stop sending me Joe Rogan clips, thirst traps of young women, and other incredibly misogynist (and racist, and any other sort of reactionary) content. It was pretty fucking heinous. Lasering that into young minds that can’t defend themselves is a deeply upsetting crime against humanity.
YouTube shorts is the same, no matter how many times you try to filter it out, you get that kind of shit, or daily wire propaganda. It’s incessant
I never got that with TikTok, but youtube shorts is almost always trying to feed me some right wing bullshit. My TikTok on the other hand is almost all trans women and stuff like makeup tutorials (and some cute pups), and it was like this was long before I realized I was trans.
Yes it so much worse. Even if it’s not all that shit, it won’t stop feeding me annoying John Green videos no matter how many times I tell it to stop lol
My tiktok feed is almost nothing but Palestinians begging for their lives.
