You might reconsider your thoughts when you recognize the fact that TikTok's first priority is not to make money but to deliver pro-russian and pro-chinese propaganda messages into your brain.
- yCombLinks 3y agoNot sure how that's related to the quality of recommendations the algorithm gives.
- bflesch 3y agoBecause the algorithm has been shown to recommend nice videos which show that the russians have very good reasons to annex ukraine, or that the chinese economy is going so well, or that this right-wing fringe party has actually very good answer to the speech of a government official. But yes, it's all just a coincidence and does not affect the quality of recommendations. TikTok recommends 9 good videos and then 1 where they explain the political topic of the day from their perspective because you are located in Europe.
