In my experience, you have to search for things you like for a few months to give TikTok the data it needs for recommendations.

- sytelus 5y agoThat’s not people below 40 say. They describe it as an instant drug.
- arvinsim 5y agoIt is scary how easy and willingly we just give up our privacy and data away. Truly the future is Brave New World, not 1984
- alar44 5y agoGet off it. Asking an app to serve you content isn't giving up privacy. Get some fucking perspective.
- seanw444 5y agoYes, it is kind of weird to say "social media exists = 1984" but I think they were meaning that it's worrying how many people use it without realizing they're basically doing the NSA's job for them.
- andrewzah 5y agoHow else would a recommendation algorithm work? I don’t see why it’s concerning that a company knows that I like to follow musicians, etc. What’s the alternative? Never finding new things because I refuse to divulge what niches or hobbies I like?
- Ekaros 5y agoYeah. It should be obvious that recommendations to work somehow you need to track what you like. Or other alternative is to just recommend the most popular mainstream thing at the moment... Which then get also attacked for various reasons.
