> Do a search for your actual interests, quickly swipe past the random things that pop up that you don't like, and soon, after a few days of this, you'll begin to see what tik tok's actually about.

Or, like.. don't. I mean, great that you're having a blast, but this is a literal endorsement to "design your own skinner box". It's small comfort to be able to choose the colours of the bars on your windows.

If you don't use the app the way it's intended, you won't get the best experience. And since most people are actually aware of how Tik Tok works, then there's not much of a point of complaining about Tik Tok's lack of "interesting" content for you if you're not actually willing to engage with the software.

I've had multiple conversations about the enjoyment of cultivating your algorithm on tiktok.
