Media algorithms shouldn’t be this powerful.

Le's be in agreement

My "For You" feed is all trans people, gays, Hazbin Hotel, Pokemon, seals and otters.

...Kinda wish there was more Star Wars in there, tbh. I like Star Wars.

TikTok is US state media now unfortunately

Straight guys also wondering why their For You page is all lesbians.

Pro tip: don't use services that spy on you.

This reminds me of the case study about Target sending ads to people their data analytics model identified as likely being pregnant. The father of a teenager was so angry they send her the ad he raised hell at a local store. Thing is, they were right.

Youtube keeps showing me ads for Jehova witnesses and Last Day Saints. Does this mean in about to find God?

TT ≠ YT

Tiktok's algorithmic programming is a bit more subtle than YouTube just blaring paid conspiracy mythology without preconditions.

Fair enough. I've never been on tiktok

I should probably take some time to think why my instagram feed is full of non-binary people, shouldn't I?
