    Skill issue

    Only tiktok adjacent that I have issues with is yt shorts. My algo is tism, trans, communist, gaymer, feminist, and black liberation, with a few thirst traps here and there. I'm a 30 y.o. hwite bisexual gaymer dude(?). And here's an example of what pops up on my fyp.

    The only thing I can think of that might be screwing with his algorithm is gymtok maybe?

    Edit: pretend like you didn't notice my poor opsec and you don't know what I'm talking about. Thanks 🙏

      I think for me it was probably that I liked watching sports clips. So it didn't matter how many times I tried to block reactionary shit fromy feed

        Yeah I definitely think that's the foot in the door for sure, fitness in general while good and having plenty of cool people in it, has plenty of toxic people in it, much in the same way gaming does(except I guess when tiktok can tell you're not straight?). sans-shrug

      Idk it might be because he does fuck with motivational/grindset sort of shit. He's also white. When I was on TikTok it just kept feeding me dancing Latina women because it knew I'm a male and I can speak Spanish lol. I successfully trained it to feed me MOSTLY stuff about life in rural China and music stuff but the garbage was always waiting to bubble to the surface
