TikTok isn't that much different from Reddit, blogs, Discord servers of your choosing, etc. It delivers content you have interest in. Whatever you spend the most time watching, liking, reading/commenting on, searching for, etc. is what will be delivered, because the app's goal is to keep you in the app. If one gets something political or empty in value, skip it or press and hold to select Not Interested. Searching for specific topics and following creators will quickly create a more curated feed. There's absolutely rigging involved, and some things that "go viral" are hand picked to do so. But that doesn't mean the users are powerless consumers which have no choice over what is shown on the FYP. My personal feed is apolitical.
