    You either never used Tiktok, or you spent too much time staring at the shit videos and that ended up as your feed.

    Personally, I get gardening tips, legal analysis of the trump trials, and stand up comedy. It’s great.

      I only saw some videos on other’s phones.

      Also I started using newpipe for youtube exactly because I don’t want an algorithm learning what I’m interested in. No way in hell I do it for tiktok.

      I get that on YouTube. (Legal Eagle, Leja etc) Just a bit less CCP manipulation. Not that there aren’t issues with YouTube. Just less than TicTok.

          I just want to not see them. I dont watch shorts and I never will. Youtube can go fuck itself because I fucking refuse to watch anything in fucking portrait mode let alone narrowed down in timescale to roughly fuck all.

        I have trouble with YouTube. It never recommends good short form content. If I could crack that, I probably wouldn’t Tiktok.

          That’s probably fair enough. I don’t watch shorts on any site anywhere. I tend to opt for the 20 minute 30 minute or longer videos. Sitting and working on things when I get home.

          This, basically. Google took YouTube and made its algorithm push more long form content for the purpose of generating revenue from ads. Not saying TikTok doesn’t have ads in my feed but at least I can skip literally all of them.
