I did not say extensively; I used it for a week now to see what the fuss is about and got, at first time opening this app, these videos. Not sure how that analysed my behaviour of ‘opening the app’. Then I followed a bunch of guys in true crime and made sure to swipe other videos away as fast as I could and it got less but i still get them. Probably if you use it for a long time; it might be more tailored to me but the content, even the good content according to like minded, so far is so bad that I don’t think I will give it that much time.

Well I don't know how it is nowadays because so many creators have flocked there and I could absolutely imagine that thirst traps are so numerous and popular that the algorithm cant do a good job anymore. To be fair I joined more than 3 years ago "to check what my kids was raving about" and remember how I regularly was amazed on what the algorithm dug up for me, funny interesting content from people that seemed genuine. I still get that feeling but maybe not as much. And I never had any issues of watching too much either. It's just my kind of social media. But I also have a couple of times where I fucked up the algo by liking the wrong video and having to mindfully steer it back on track again. So it's not magic, ofc.
