TikTok's algorithm is also nearly instant.

From time to time it will show you content adjacent to what you watch. After three or so viewings your feed will add the content you watched/engaged with regularly.

Press "not interested" twice (or sometimes once), and content will disappear.

American social media effectively ignores any input from users.

so much this. tiktok can easily be trained to provide you pretty much exact content you desire from it while no other social media platform (is willing) can do the same

    Are we sure? My experience with Instagram is the opposite, whenever you linger a bit on a reel you'll start to get more of that content

    It's a pain because you have to constantly press "not interested" to curate your feed, I'd pretty much prefer to have content feeds, so that I can watch anything without having it go in my (im)permanent record

    • interesting!!!! I have not been able to train IG and have deleted my account few years ago
