I'm convinced this whole tiktok is manipulating the algorithm thing is actually US propaganda.

Have you seen Chinese TikTok vs America TikTok? It’s wild. The Chinese TikTok has videos of scientists and musicians and engineers all tackling major problems. It’s inspirational. The American TikTok is absolutely fucked. There’s clearly heavy algorithm manipulation. At the very least, we know China could make American TikTok not terrible and they choose not to.

My TikTok FYP is various scientists/science commenters, stand up comedians, chubby goth girls dancing, Magic The Gathering card reviews, and swinger shit.

If you engage only with things you like, you'll only see things you like.

Yeah, Western Tiktok is just more liberal lol. If you don't like it, go and live in... China?
