Yeah this is the main struggle I have with TikTok. I have a few creators that I tend to always watch but almost never see. Sometimes I’ll go search them just to make sure they are still active.
I also find it odd how the alg sort of gets stuck in themes. At one point I get Amazon Driver TikTok all day, then I’ll get Deathcore for like 3 hours, followed by either socialist creators or lib/chud ragebait for a day. I sort of just want a mix of what I like. Which to be fair, TikTok is at least better at that the any of the Meta apps.
One reason I tried to avoid it was because of the way it brainrot algs your feed. My ex and my bff both tried to get me to use it for a long time and they finall did. I sort of regret it but also the alg does try sometimes to show you your interests. It’s shit a lot too.

This is still something I don’t understand at all. I see people using TikTok a lot, and it’s kinda spooky how they just get sucked into it.

I can’t do the short form stuff, I’ll sometimes watch cat or cooking shorts on YouTube. I prefer ridiculously long form content lol
I actually get that. The 15 second videos that have 462 jump cuts stitched together drive me insane.
