Has anyone else’s algorithm been messed up?

mine’s been doing the exact same thing, it’s infuriating. suddenly my entire feed is just generic lip syncs with millions of likes and i genuinely don’t know how the app decided i’d want that.

the tinfoil hat part of me thinks they’re pushing those accounts harder to keep bigger creators on the platform, like a weird retention tactic for the people who bring in the most ad money. either way i’ve just started closing the app the second i see one, probably not doing much but it feels better than watching it.

I had a similar issue with the shop kept recommending me bra’s and woman’s lingerie despite i’m a guy.

And they force promote soooo much. It feels like you literally have to pay money to get more than 300 views

If you like a video with a shop ad, it'll show you more shop ads.

You can also reset your FYP at any time if it grows stagnant with content you don't like.

My fyp will give me a handful of videos that actually pertain to my interests before defaulting to the generic fyp as if I just created an account. It’s so frustrating when I want to scroll for a bit. The only bright side is spending less time on the app because it’s no longer fun or interesting. The only way to “fix” it is to completely close out the app, but the same thing happens where I’ll get the generic fyp after a few videos.

The work I sent was even pushed to some Southeast Asian countries and regions in South Africa and the Philippines. I live in Los Angeles. It can actually push my work to Southeast Asia. Its algorithm is terrible.
