There's many people saying that other platforms cannot be trained or at least they don't notice it. Well, that's the point. For you to not notice. You can see this firsthand by not following/subscribing/etc to anyone on these platforms and seeing the algorithm train and change as you slowly consume content. At a certain point, you will even have your default feed settings changed as if you were following a modest amount of people. Many platforms hide these feed settings by default so that you consume without realizing it. Some notable examples of this are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. You won't even notice you're being manipulated until you check your settings again. Ever wonder why certain things like stories, shorts, or reels all of a sudden are being shown from people you don't care about? Well, now ya know. The one thing I believe is "uplifting" about TikTok is that the power is being shifted to the individual creator rather than the big six media conglomerates. Instead of a couple hundred channels, there's thousands. But the problem with that is there is an infinite amount of content to be entertained with. America is already a big shopping mall with everyone holding out their credit cards. This makes more of these channels advertise even more shit we don't need in our lives with the impression that it's personal or everyday when the creator simply needs to survive and put food on the table too.
