Video-based content is already difficult to effectively moderate, because problematic content might be showcased visually, without keywords an automated AI might be able to check. And TikTok users are known for inventing shorthand and coded language specifically to evade censorship. There’s corn — or even just a corn emoji — for discussing porn, or “seggs” for sex. In the world of antisemitism, “H!tl3r” or “that Austrian painter” helps users talk about Hitler without detection.
Yeah you have to actively tell the algorithm what you like and especially what you don’t like, you put some effort in and you’ll get a nice feed of topics that suit you well, it’s still a shitty app that will eat your time away, but put in some effort and it will be an entertaining or informative waste of time.
Sounds like Pandora. I’ve been using it since like 2007 and I’ve got some extremely well-trained stations
