TikTok algorithm

Recently started following a few people on TikTok who have schizophrenia. Now the algorithm is showing me conspiracy theory content as well as paranormal and fringe religious type stuff. Just a warning to anyone who uses TikTok. :grimacing:

Yeah careful that thing can screw with your mind if you just keep watching curated content

Thanks for the warning. Good to know even tho I don’t seek out social media content.
This is so reckless. Wish they would be held accountable.

That doesn’t sound like it’s a good app to have

I only use here, 1 other forum and Facebook

Tried TikTok once, I think it was two years ago. Felt dumber after a day of watching meaningless videos, so I deleted the app. If that’s what excites today’s youngsters, the future of humanity doesn’t look bright.

I stick to Instagram though, I’m following a few serious pages who post about math, science, history, classical art, jewelry etc.

Of course, neural networks study your interests and offer you content that may interest you in the future. Tick Tok, by the way, is an excellent platform for self-education.
