Despite this claim tiktok seems like it pushes some the least outrage machine type stuff. At least my feed is filled with interesting folks.

HN is going down the road too now of the google is horrible, apple is horrible, facebook is horrible type headlines. I don't necessarily disagree - but... boring? Repetitive? There are never any positive suggestions any more (ie, here's how apple should screen for CASM). It's just pure outrage factory in some cases.

Luckily for me at least HN still has some "boring" content with lots of what seem like smart interesting folks posting - keeps me coming back :)

> Interesting folks

Mind posting some examples? I find it recommends lots of useless stuff. I know the rebuttal - it learns what you're interested in - but I can still tell you there are lots of vapid people and videos on it.

That's what people enjoy I think. Much less serious outrage, serious preaching.

Lots of cooking, dancing, music, laughing.
