idk why but i never got tiktok. the all-powerful mystical algorithm that hijacks your brain just didn't work on me. it's all politics bullshit and lame facebook memes.

hell, the fedi (both lemmy and the microblog-verse) has "wasted" more of my lifespan overall than tiktok.

If you told it you didn't like that content it would just try something else. Or searched your interests so it knows what you're looking for. My feed is full of only my interests 99.9% of the time. Everyone complaining about only getting cringy content is really telling on themselves here lol

even in the deepest, darkest, secret-est parts of my soul i have no interest in any content (a) in Arabic and (b) of imams. i can't even understand a word of Arabic and am not religious, yet apparently that was the most up to date profile tiktok had on me the last time i tried it out. (which was the 3rd time or so) and i even made an account and signed in.

the politics bullshit and lame facebook-grade memes were the "best" it could muster. as in, the only things i understood.

maybe it works better in an english speaking and not-religious-asf country.

Nah you probably just didn't give it much of a chance then. Especially if you think it caters to the religious crowd lol. They get torn apart in my little corner of tiktok. My entire feed is cooking, crochet, gardening, gaming, cats, random memes, and for some reason chickens. I don't know why it decided I wanted to see people's pet chickens but it was indeed very correct. The only political stuff I get for the most part is people I follow in politics
