This is going to sound insensitive and I’m sure I will get downvoted to hell but I wish there was an option to filter specific content out, for me it’s ppl being sick, terminally ill….

I have so much compassion for those who are incredibly sick and can’t imagine how strong they have to be but I cannot take seeing these videos come up. After they do I’m obsessed with whatever illness it is and have to convince myself do not have it and won’t get it. Today 3 videos came up of women who have colon cancer and are dying and I just had to block for my own mental health.

I wish we could filter out certain topics.

I've blocked certain hashtags before but somehow tiktok shows it to me more

You can block certain hashtags. It may be worth looking into. Right now, sadly this is gonna be coming up a lot because of the apple cider vinegar show that just came out. It has a girl who pretended to have a serious illness so the algorithm will be showing people who actually have it bc of keywords.

The way I’ve worked it out is don’t interact with it at all just scroll past. Don’t hit don’t like or don’t show don’t look at the comments don’t do anything but scroll past it. It will eventually stop showing you those things. Start searching for things you want to see and follow and like those interact with the videos you are happy to see

Thank you because I feel insensitive as fuck for saying this, but I really wish I didn't have to see the lives of horribly disfigured people popping up. It's so disturbing to be quite honest

The more you engage with the subject matter the more it’ll show you that type of content

I know this is ridiculous but I wish facial recognition feature could be used to allow me to block content of certain celebrities like memes with actors that trigger me etc

just start clicking ‘not interested’ whenever you see them, they should eventually stop
