So after spending hours scrolling twitter I decided to degrade even further and installed TikTok. I used it for like 50 minutes and it just keeps showing me cute girls dancing to obnoxious music. Also most of the videos are in Russian despite me turning every profile setting to English in a desperate attempt to get away from my people.

When will I get the content for sophisticated adults such as myself? Where are cute girls preaching bizarre political ideologies? Where are baby witches that cursed the moon I used to hear so much about?

Am I supposed to somehow find accounts to follow or will the algorithm figure out the dark depths of my soul once I watch enough videos? Is TikTok just a young man's game?

Edit: Maybe people can also share some good channels (?) so I can jumpstart the algorithm...

    Press and hold the video till the options to save, favourite etc come up. Press the “not interested” option. Do this enough times and tiktok will learn you don’t want to watch videos in Punjabi Russian.

    You can wait for tiktok to do it on its own (which it will, eventually) or you can jumpstart the process by searching for specific tags (communism, eboys, witchtok, depression) then scrolling through the videos, liking the ones you like, commenting on some, following certain creators etc.

    Edit - Be prepared to lose hours of your life everyday to that hellhole.
