This is not about low quality content getting automatically filtered out by an algorithm because people don't like it. This is about TikTok using human moderators to prevent users from ever seeing content made by people they don't like.
- linuxftw 7y agoSo, like reddit?
- capableweb 7y agoModerators of the subreddits in reddit are normal reddit users (normally) compared to the moderators in TikTok who I presume are selected by the company and on payroll (or contractors maybe, I seem to recall Facebook uses contractors for this)
- daveFNbuck 7y agoI don't think Reddit gives moderators instructions to remove content if it indicates that the poster has a list of undesirable characteristics like being fat or poor.
- nkkollaw 7y agoSo, like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube..?
- daveFNbuck 7y agoFacebook, Twitter, and YouTube don't have moderators hiding posts by fat or ugly people.
- lonelappde 7y agoWhat do you think "low quality" means if not "what people don't like"? TikTok doesn't care who made it; they care how the video looks.
- daveFNbuck 7y agoThis isn't about content being low quality or not liked. It's about content containing specific things that TikTok moderators were told to look out for. There is plenty of extremely high quality content made by people who appear fat, poor, old, disabled, ugly, etc in their videos.
