> TikTok's curation selected for relatively wealthy people
Was this controlled in some effective way? Seems plausible that humans like looking at wealth, and so wealthy people tend to get more likes. It's like crowdsourced tabloids.
> Also, the compilations show people who are overwhelmingly white
I think that depends a lot on what filter bubble you get sorted into. Plant/science/compsi/engineering/lefist sections where I tend to hit like feel pretty diverse. The default 'prankbro/dance/thirsttrap/wealth porn' areas do seem predominantly white though.
