I must be immune to their algorithm because, even with an account, multiple searches and 1 hour of use, I didn't get a single video I wanted to watch. YouTube works way better for me. I might simply not like short form content.
What you really said was “the algorithm I have been feeding data into for years performed batter than the one I used for an hour.” Shocking.
I didn't get an interesting video even with the search function. I just couldn't find compelling content on tiktok for my interests.
Also, 1 hour without an interesting video is something I've never experienced on YouTube, even on new accounts (I create an account for new TVs). I think I'm simply not their target audience.
I couldn't even understand the point of 10-20% of the videos, like "What is this video trying to show here? A random person saying the word banana in a loop"
Erm... TikTok has longform content.
I mean 50% of TikTok is brain rot and 50% is normies doing normie stuff. If you're someone who saw the old Internet I doubt you'd give a shit about TikTok. It feels like a betrayal of what the Internet could have been
What do you consider the “old internet”? Because I find older Zoomers and millennials have different ideas of what that means

Is there a toggle to enable compelling data on TikTok? I must have missed it
People who use tiktok tell me it gets better when you have an account. All I know is whenever someone sends me a video it always tries to show the most emotionally charged stuff (e.g. war footage) right after. Now it's even showing pictures of Trump when you pause the video
