I guess flooding every social media platform with misogynistic propaganda has worked pretty well
Tried to use Tiktok a while back, had to stop after a week because once the algorithm “realized” I was a man it would not stop sending me Joe Rogan clips, thirst traps of young women, and other incredibly misogynist (and racist, and any other sort of reactionary) content. It was pretty fucking heinous. Lasering that into young minds that can’t defend themselves is a deeply upsetting crime against humanity.
My tiktok feed is almost nothing but Palestinians begging for their lives.
YouTube shorts is the same, no matter how many times you try to filter it out, you get that kind of shit, or daily wire propaganda. It’s incessant
I never got that with TikTok, but youtube shorts is almost always trying to feed me some right wing bullshit. My TikTok on the other hand is almost all trans women and stuff like makeup tutorials (and some cute pups), and it was like this was long before I realized I was trans.
Yes it so much worse. Even if it’s not all that shit, it won’t stop feeding me annoying John Green videos no matter how many times I tell it to stop lol
Seriously, I have a roommate who is ostensibly a nice guy, never says anything sexist/racist or whatever, and our living situation involves a Black/indigenous woman. But I hear him listening to TikToks all the time that are just the most vile misogynist or weirdly tradtional viewpoints (“women, if you make dinner but your husband don’t like it, what do you do as a good wife?” etc). I feel like he’s probably not even choosing these toks, they’re just unavoidable.

My TikTok feed is full of communists, he’s engaging with the content, and it’s responding in kind.
swear to god tho your algo gets reset every so often if you engage with commie content regularly. my fyp will be good for like a week then all of a sudden its back to liberal/fascist content till i retrain the fuckin thing
In a communist utopia, if you wanted to watch trashy social media garbage while you take the train home after a long day you should be forced to hunt for it in one big alphabetical directory that looks like mid-‘90s Yahoo. Recommendation algorithms are inherently reactionary and after the revolution they must be abolished.
Nah, just replace the current algorithms with ones that boost commies and suppress and ban reactionaries.
Skill issue
Only tiktok adjacent that I have issues with is yt shorts. My algo is tism, trans, communist, gaymer, feminist, and black liberation, with a few thirst traps here and there. I’m a 30 y.o. hwite bisexual gaymer dude(?). And here’s an example of what pops up on my fyp.

The only thing I can think of that might be screwing with his algorithm is gymtok maybe?
Edit: pretend like you didn’t notice my poor opsec and you don’t know what I’m talking about. Thanks 🙏
I think for me it was probably that I liked watching sports clips. So it didn’t matter how many times I tried to block reactionary shit fromy feed
Idk it might be because he does fuck with motivational/grindset sort of shit. He’s also white. When I was on TikTok it just kept feeding me dancing Latina women because it knew I’m a male and I can speak Spanish lol. I successfully trained it to feed me MOSTLY stuff about life in rural China and music stuff but the garbage was always waiting to bubble to the surface

Yeah I really feel like the app is kind of default shitty and then if you’re a milquetoast white guy like him then the app just feeds you progressively more sexist right-wingy content because you’re a white guy who doesn’t critically engage with the content. It’s like it only changes if you somehow signal you’re non-white non-male
white dudes supporting reactionary ideologies that maintain their unequal privilege? Color me surprised
7 minutes in and these guys are like “unlimited genocide on the first world, unironically it’s time for purges, kill everyone in the right, etc etc” lmao
I thought you were exaggerating. I know it’s a small channel, but holy shit I didn’t think you could say something that blunt and not get blackholed by some automated NSA algorithm.
Wdym… I had to listen to a lot of the video just to hear something like… “chopping up racists and feeding them to the pigs isn’t a good law” and other things…
Starting at 7 minutes with guy on the left:
I have my threshold - you’re right though, you’re right, I have my threshold, and my wife will tell you I’m the first to say that we need to bring back some kind of massive purge of people that don’t need to exist anymore, not just even limited to violent criminals but really people who think that it’s okay to put themselves above others, right, people who just totally ignore the fact that other people exist. A-and are biologically uh inept from empathizing with other people and let say “Well they’re poor, they’re homeless it’s their fault” people like that, yeah, should be executed, but like you said, re-education, right, before we through the hammer down, we got to give it a shot. I - look - and that’s why I say I open my doors, you come in, you have a conversation, and if by the end of it that I’m convinced that you’re unsalvageable? Then off to the woodchipper you go. In my book. That’s-
Followed by guy on the right:
And that’s why it’s funny to me because you say that even like the libertarian and the chuds and everybody are redeemable, and I’m over here saying “no american is redeemable”.
idk if y’all ever get glimpses into the culture of 16-27 year old men on your tiktok but it’s incredibly bleak
all of the content creators they watch are very anti-social. They use poor people as entertainment - shitty annoying pranks, paying people to be a zoo animal in some degrading gameshow, humiliating them in interviews or other crap, constantly reacting to “abnormal” people by bullying them for laughs
They teach men how to become a fuckboi and drown by being manipulative and vapid (appearing to have high social status, flexing wealth) instead of just being a good person
left wing men :
