a sign is a sign😝

This is all very suspicious, convinced it’s a political stunt.

So TikTok gets banned for everyone for a few hours before the 19th, and now it’s already back—thanks to President Trump, who hasn’t even taken office yet. It’s like they wanted people to panic for a bit and then feel indebted to Trump. Manipulative, almost as if it was all planned to boost his image.

Free country my ass

Fuck biden I can't believe I supported that old hag for signing the bill that banned this app. Fuck Trump cause he's the one that started this. Also fuck scotus for basically saying fuck your freedom of speech. Also fuck all the members of Congress who voted for this ban I hope they all sleep with their eyes open now.

Feel like TikTok is becoming unusable

Idk if this is the right place to post but I’m SO annoyed. My fyp is full of absolutely uncoordinated GARBAGE and it’s really starting to pmo. It’s literally ad after ad after ad, I’m talking 4 in a row. If it isn’t the 3rd party advertisements, it’s TikTok incentivized ads promoting things from TikTok shop. I also KEEP GETTING VIDEOS IN ITALIAN ABOUT THIS PRODUCT (pictured above) no matter how many times I press not interested and even go further to say I’m not interested in the sound or the hashtags, I even blocked the company that owns the product these people are promoting. It’s either that or just random videos in other languages that I’ve never searched for. It feels like the more I press ‘not interested’ the more crap like this it shows me. I feel like all the ‘for you’ content I actually want to see, yk stuff that’s recommended based on what I ACTUALLY like and watch and share and save has been completely suppressed with whatever this is and I’m lucky to get one or two videos in a sea of this stuff. Again, I’m sorry if this is not inline with the rules or regular posting,

How long does the "You're Favoriting Too Fast, Slow Down!" restriction last?

I made a new tiktok account about two weeks ago because my old ones algorithm devolved into weird fear mongering and conspiracy theories some how and I couldn't fix it (◜▽◝;⁠)ゞ I reposted a lot of things but I wanted to organize them since I had a fresh start on a new account and I hate scrolling through my reposts for like 10mins just to show my friend a funny or cool video. I stared organizing yesterday but eventually got met with that favoriting restriction notification, I waited about an hour and it went back to normal for a little bit, then the restriction returned and I haven't been able to favorite anything since :( How long does this normally last? and if I accidentally favorite something in the meantime does the timer on the restriction re-set? Thank you!! (˶◜ᵕ◝˶)
