Is this happening to anyone else?

My FYP is completely broken. For the last 2 weeks, most of the videos I see are content I never engage with nor do I want to. I’ve been bombarded with Love Island, FIFA, streamer university and videos with millions of likes from accounts with 200 followers. And of course the AI slop. Not only am I getting this content that I don’t want, but the same videos play over and over and over again. At first, I tried to filter these videos out with every possible hashtag I could think of and that did absolutely nothing. Then I tried hitting “not interested” which also did nothing. Then I just started blocking people, because I thought that would at least get the same videos of my FYP. That has not worked. At certain points throughout the day, my FYP is nothing but videos from accounts I have already blocked. I’ve heard very minimal complaining about this and it’s making me feel crazy. I literally can’t use this app anymore. Is anyone else having a similar experience?

Yup. I constantly have to block ads trying to get me to buy from live acutions, gambling ads, AI slop, and religious propaganda. My block list has grown by 100+ accounts in the last month or so

Yes! It kept crashing and now it’s showing me vids from blocked creators, stuff in another language, family stuff and teenagers getting ready for school. Everything I specifically block or hit not interested for. It’s like my algorithm got reset.

I’ve been bombared with random shit I have no interest on Reddit. I’ve definitely noticed how much it’s ratcheted up. Like, it wasn’t subtle 

Edit: I should mention I mean subreddits I’ve never heard of

Same. I have been following accounts, unbeknownst to me and no longer see the creators I enjoy watching

But why does it matter if they only have a small following? If its a good video, it's a good video right? Maybe I'm not understanding 🤔🤔🤔

TikTok is just becoming dropship central. In ten videos of scrolling, 7 of them are now either ads or sponsored. 2 are AI generated BS and maybe 1 is actual worthy human content. I find myself on Insta more and more. I spend 20% of my time on TT blocking dropshippers and apparently it doesn’t matter?

I blocked someone last night and then the next twelve videos were the same feed I just went through before blocking that guy. The algorithm can't keep up with all of the paid bits and propaganda anymore.
