Hey it's been about 3 months since that last TOS update been released, how's the app been doing nowadays after the change?

TLDR: Trying to get info on if the last TOS update still really had changed the app as badly as folks were claiming back when it first dropped.

Yeah so it's been like 3 months since that last TOS update dropped in the US and all the controversy surrounding it. I still remember all the complaints everyone had about new ownership, all the data it started collecting including the location tracking, and certain content and creators being suppressed. I know a lot of people ended up deleting their accs due to it and I'm one of em, but clearly it ain't stopped people from using it.

Now I'm curious how the app's doing nowadays and if that TOS really changed all that much. Wanna hear from people who still chose to keep using the app. I remember lots of people were conmplaining about their feed becoming garbage after and some creators posts getting less views, but obviously no one who left the app is gonna know if that's still an issue today.

Been using it since before that whole mess and tbh the feed quality is still pretty hit or miss compared to what it was like before. My FYP feels more repetitive now and I'm definitely seeing less variety in creators, especially smaller ones

The location stuff is whatever since most apps do that anyway but yeah the algorithm definitely feels different - takes longer for my interests to show up and I keep getting pushed toward more mainstream content even when I'm not engaging with it

Algorithm sucks hard. It is extremely lazy. Doesn’t introduce enough and varied content. If I’ve seen one recap on something I don’t need 5 more of the same in succession.
