This website is the only place I find people who say that the TikTok algorithm somehow doesn't work. If that's the case, why is everyone so addicted to it? Talk to any other person and their feed is completely unique from any other person. If you're into comedy, you get comedy videos. If you're into educational stuff, you get that. If you're into sexy girls dancing, you get that. Admittedly the last one seems to be the default (I assume like in most cases, the most popular stuff of all is softcore porn, and therefore it'll default to showing that), but if you scroll past the sexy girls dancing instead of sitting through the whole video, it'll learn you're not interested. So I can only surmise if you kept getting them it's because you're watching them. I don't think TikTok has a feature to detect HN users and turn the algorithm off just for them for some reason.
