Did the algorithm change?

I dropped TikTok a few months ago or something, whenever the US took it over. I’ve been using reels since then, and as much as I like it, I miss my old TikTok feed.

So I gave TikTok another shot, redownloaded it, signed back in, but… it sucks. Like my algorithm has a few remnants, but overall it sucks. I keep seeing non-stop TikTok shop promotions, hyper-local content, etc. Which I mean you’d see local content every once in a while, everyone knows they got ur location, but I’m talking about 2/4 videos were hyper-local, 1/4 from a TikTok shop ad, and the other 1/4 is someone I follow or content I actually like.

Did the algorithm change with the US version?

TikTok has gotten so annoying. It feels like a giant ad board. Nonstop pushing for TikTok shop, multitude of ads for Kalshi, ads for mobile games filled with in-app purchases, ads for job search sites you have to pay to use, AI generated crap, and livestreams either pumping people to send money or selling yet more useless TikTok shop garbage

I don’t get much for entertainment or informational on there these days. It’s annoying

Well you’ve been inactive, you have to retrain it and unless you’ve been on it a few days already, I don’t understand why you’d think it would magically know what you want to see after several months of inactivity and you JUST got back on it.
