WTF this app sucks now

I was watching tiktok videos before bed regularly I think back in 2023.

I just downloaded it again because I thought it might have useful new mom tips.

I'm finding it so different now. I think the algorithm is probably different but also the advertising is insane and it's not as obvious that something is an ad. And I think those hidden ads are what makes it suck.

I used to get the stop scrolling warnings all the time back in the day. I don't even know if they still have those but I dont think I never get immersed in this app the way I used to.

Are there tricks you can do to make it more pleasant?
