When the TikTok algorithm thinks Im still in 2019

I watched one Y2K makeup tutorial and now my FYP is acting like I just time-traveled from a Claire’s in 8th grade. Meanwhile, my real interests? Banished. Lost to the algorithm gods. Instagram users wouldn’t survive a day in these trenches. FYP warriors, unite - what cursed niche are you stuck in?

It sends me back 2-4 months sometimes. I just close the app and try again tomorrow.

One accidental click on “2000s rave outfit inspo” and now I’m knee-deep in lip gloss hauls, low-rise jean propaganda, and people bedazzling flip phones like it’s a competitive sport. My booktok dreams? Dead. I don’t even read anymore. I just sparkle and listen to Paris Hilton say “That’s hot” on loop like it’s a Gregorian chant.

Alg is lazy right now. I looked up bittersweet symphony bc i wanted to use the audio in a video of cats at my rescue that are available for adoption, and every other post now is something about that song. I’m losing my mind.
