What the FUCK is up with the algorithm rn

Look, I’m not a complicated person to figure out. I like science, music, art, games, nerd shit, travel, and food. Reels has me dialed with all that, plus a goofy brainrot meme here and there for some flavor.

Up until Larry Ellison and Oracle took over TikTok, it had me pretty dialed too. Music, art, games, etc.

But over the past month, no matter how many times I tap “Not interested”, it will NOT STOP trying to shove racist, sexist bullshit into my feed. It’s constant.

“Oh aren’t black people loud??”

“Aren’t women so lame??”

“Aren’t liberals so whiny???”

Not interested. Not interested. NOT. INTERESTED.

Doesn’t matter. Over and over and over again it keeps trying to feed me what I can only assume are Ellison’s personal beliefs about women and people of color. It’s fucking disgusting bottom-of-the-barrel blatantly obvious bigoted propaganda and honestly, it has me terrified.

I’m an adult man in my late-30s who knows what he likes and isn’t easily influenced by shit like that. But what about the 14-year old boy who just got his first smartphone and starts being shoved down these lanes? Is Larry just trying to create a world of little racist sexist morons who vote red and hate women?

Like what the actual fuck is going on right now?

You shoulda gotten rid of it after the sale. I mean, hell, that weird ass update didn’t change your mind?

Get served what you’re being complicit in by keeping the new propaganda app.

Reddit, no matter how many of them I mute, puts women bashing manosphere subs in my feed every single day.

I don’t interact with them expect to mute them yet Reddit continues to push them on me.

I’m 43 and happily married. I fucking HATE redpill manosphere douchebags and I wish Reddit would stop trying to force me to see them.

No wonder young men are so lame when social media inundates them with right wing grifters and Andrew Tate.

Larry Ellison is trying to deprogram your brainwashed woke mind

This is interesting to me. I haven’t seen much of these types of posts despite being male. Maybe 3-5 videos total when the switch over happened initially.

I wonder if they tweaked the algorithm to target certain demographics to try and push them to be conservative. That’s going to be younger and older men than based on this post.

The only thing I'd say has changed for me (knock on wood) is that I get more ads and sponsored videos.

I haven't seen anything quite that bad but a lot of Fox News videos lately with a dash of ABC news, CNN. Used to never see News videos.

I used to see mostly animal videos, songs from small creators, creative videos, cooking, etc. I had a pretty nice enjoyable feed going.
