that's just plain wrong. if you even used tiktok, you'll understand how truly frighteningly powerful their algorithm is at finding exactly the kind of content you want to watch. i was never the kind of person to scroll my phone right before sleeping, but somehow i found myself doing that these days on tiktok, mindlessly just swiping up over and over again, not able to stop because almost every video seems to appeal precisely to my taste, even in the weird humor stuff.

Wow I get downvoted to make room for "it's magic".

Maybe you just don't understand the particular brands of irony/satire or the current trends going on at the time those videos you've seen were made?

Chinese who master both English language and US culture are quite rare in China.

TikTok already admitted they filtered out "poor and ugly" people. It's not hard to for a laborer to like a video and pick a (suggested) response.
