    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.

        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.

      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)
