A less nefarious explanation is that the 44-year old Gabriela persona was shown more Harris-leaning content because she more closely meets the demographic of a Harris voter.
The algorithms are designed for exactly that kind of targeting.
It would interesting to know what TikTok showed the 71-year old Larry persona. X flooding the feeds of a Harris-leaning demographic with Trump-leaning content they are less likely to engage with seems suspect, but it's only one data point.
We can't draw any conclusions until we see the results from all the personas, but for some reason the author did not share them.
