I’m aware of that. I actively try and skip political stuff as quickly as possible. I understand how the algorithm is supposed to work, but in my experience, it isn’t working that way. On a fresh account, the first video it ever served me was a MAGA post.
Edit: I also considered that maybe it was location based. My TikTok has no overt permissions (unneeded if you never post), no contact sharing, and I always access through a VPN. Does not seem to matter which VPN server/location I select.
Tiktok shows you stuff you interact with, you’ve trained the algo to show you right-wing misinformation.
I’ve never interacted with a single post, nor is the account tied to an email which is used for anything else.
Watch time is a type of interaction.

Oh yeah, it is location based, when I first started they kept trying to give me local, South Carolinian right-wing “comedy”.
It was the cringiest shit I have ever seen in my life, and as a furry, that is not a low bar.
