What happened to Tiktok on January 19th?

The algorithm has changed and somehow it's worse than before. Did they sell it or something and instead of Chinese algorithm I'm now getting the American version? I'm from Europe and something feels really different from what it was before January 19TH. It disregards my "I don't like this" and all of a sudden there's a lot from Foxtel and some others I never saw before. It also shifted from the content I liked before. I keep only liking the same type of videos but FYP still shows unrelated content. It's like YouTube Shorts ' algorithm took over.

I think it wiped out everyone’s algorithms. If you see something you like, watch it to the end. Make sure to like it and comment. It takes time to build up your fyp again.

Seems the algorithm got reset at least that’s what happened to me.

You can also reset your own algorithm in the settings, but thats also what happened when it they "reset" it

It just wiped the algorithm. I just had to rebuild mine. It took a bit but mine is back

You have to understand that the algorithm was giving updates every day, and the engineering would fix every time a minor glitch. However, now the algorithm it is not giving updates to fix bugs or anything because the app is not available to download on the apps stores. So until the app is back on the app store, the algorithm will be somehow different because it is slowly dying some how if you want to put it that way. But I saw a news that soon the app will be available on the different apps store.

It feels like it’s trying to re-figure me out after the blackout - one day it kept showing me leftist prepper content, today it showed me several consecutive conservative posts. I just interact with the stuff I like and mark the other stuff “not interested.”
