That's like asking how Google's algorithm works.
I can say that TikTok's recommendations feel actually under my control. Facebook and Google's recommendations seem to be about what THEY want to show me.
I know in all cases, it's the platforms controlling these recommendations, but no means no. Meanwhile, on my YouTube home feed I keep getting Murdoch/News Corp propaganda under the 'breaking news' section no matter how many times I say "not interested". No, I never click on them.
It feels like the hubris of product managers thinking they know best for me. Well, guess what, we have choices now.
