i suspect it works similar to how facebook works (or used to?): whatever tickles you to interact with it more, will be placed on your page or whatever…
but that is something that every webpage and app should avoid doing. i dont think tiktok is special here. i mean, sure one might argue the chinese government probably has a hand in this, but that would be speculation. and also, the us government is banning apps it doesnt like, so in my opinion: yeah, everyone except (most of) the users are assholes here
I recently used YouTube on my brothers PC and its absolutely packed with right-wing content and culture war grifters. It’s wild how algorithms push us deeper into the rabbit hole.
Kinda hilarious because in Germany it’s turning kids into right wingers
