Well, that's just you. After some time TikTok actually learns what type of videos you like to watch and shows you more and more of those. You end up in a bubble. Their algorithm is pretty good at that.

When I check the phones of my kids or my wife, I can see totally different type of videos recommended to them.

This is not a counterargument. What if your kids end up in that bubble?

You’re comparing your wife’s experience with GP’s experience. I’d be curious to see what your feed would look like after some use.

And what if your kid ends up in that bubble? What if your kid likes one animal torture video and then the algorithm decides that they should see that on a daily basis?
