First, I don't want to train a commercial product so that it can make money with me. How crazy is that?

Secondly, I've been told it takes 20 minutes of browsing and it would train automagically. Well after 30 minutes that I regret spending, it was still showing me the most terrible content humanity has ever produced and my eye were bleeding.

I uninstalled the app and won't touch it again. It feels like being a teen forcing oneself to start smoking cigarets.

Do you use Netflix? YouTube? Twitter? Facebook? You're training all of these just by using them. I've seen way worse stuff on Twitter than I ever have on TikTok.
