The algorithm promotes what you want to see. If you're not interested in silly or stupid things, you can nudge the algorithm towards content you find engaging. It's kinda "one-size-fits-all", but yeah, the average user is looking for entertainment you'd probably classify as 'silly'.

Can you really train it to be healthier? It uses implicit signals to figure out what you like watching.
That's like having a machine that detects which foods you find tastiest, and starts serving you only those things.

Probably not. Don’t know much about TikTok, but if I click a link on YouTube, barely watching the video, my recommendations will be spammed with similar filth forever - and it seems to be pushing certain channels or types of videos.
Educated guess, as I’ve no idea how these things work - videos I’m more likely to share will be recommended, bringing controversial content to the top
