TikTok is literally just a bot farm

Is it just me, or is TikTok just a giant bot farm now?

I keep seeing the exact same propaganda videos being posted by dozens of "people" with zero followers. Then you check the comments and it’s just hundreds of autogenerated names like Word-Word123 all saying "Facts" or "So true."

It’s not even subtle. It’s the same clip, same caption, and the same two-word bot replies over and over to fake a "consensus." Dead Internet Theory is hitting hard—feels like there isn't a single real person left on that app.

Well, my wife is still a real person posting on there. Been doing so since 2018.

I haven’t seen any bot videos. However, I have seen some bot comments, but every platform has some sort of bots. I think you are mainly seeing bots based on your fyp and depending on what you watch. I mainly see real people on the app making videos. Every app has its ups and downs but you have to see the good in it.

There are tons of scam accounts. They’ll copy post from popular female accounts and follow you and message you then reach out asking where you’re from and how old you are. Etc. I get them several times a day. It kills your reach because your followers aren’t real.

Yes, Reddit too.

TikTok had gotten insufferable. I really don't go on much anymore unless my daughter or friends send me a video to watch. If it's not AI slop, bots, or ads, it's garbage videos from people I don't follow and don't want to follow. I have to seek out the videos from those I follow (generally political commentators on the left)... TT seems to bury those these days yet I get MAGA content. 🙄 Go figure. Ever since it was sold to Ellison, it's been total garbage. The algorithm sucks. That was the beauty of TT circa 2020-2024 (ish). RIP TikTok.

I will say TikTok is less full of bots than other platforms. They’re always in the comments, which is better than them following you and liking your posts constantly (looking at you, Instagram). But then again I’ve had my TikTok account since 2019 and have I guess “curated” my feed.

I don’t watch any political content on TikTok so I don’t get any of that but I’m also not in America

Considering you could pay for promotion on any video I wouldn't be shocked if organizations are pushing propaganda on there

Yes, an Israeli bought TikTok. No doubt to attempt to control the narrative. You're better off without it these days IMO.
