I deleted my account because with the takeover, the algorithm will be nothing but right wing, religious right bullshyt.

All of these stupid apps don't last in user base and popularity. In two years there will be some other mind-numbing app people will sweat over.

The algorithm is nothing special. The secret sauce was the easy-to-use in-app video editor , especially high quality auto caption . That’s what the other platforms lack

Oh, and the music license also essential; remember how lame it was when some songs disappeared for a week?

It's trash and I'm starting to think so is Forbes.
They're trying to make tik tok sound like it's innocent and definitely doesn't spy on anybody that has it installed...

Isnt TikTok about to be taken over as an Israeli propaganda tool by Zionist Larry Ellison? Larry’s a great friend of Trumps too I’m told.

Which confuses me as to how there isn't another app kinda like TikTok out there already. Especially if it's available on all mobile devices and just shows the world. Not curated propaganda or censorship of free speech

but what happens to it if Fox takes it over????

adlusk.bsky.social
Nothing. That's not what's happening. Somebody in this thread keeps trying to tell everybody, too.
It's not the same app. They are making a copy of it. The copy will be what you download in the US and the rest of the world will keep the other.
So you WILL be spied on is what I'm saying.

They sell us a fairytale of “ordinary curators,” but TikTok’s algorithm was never humble—it was engineered to addict, divide & manipulate. The real code isn’t creativity, it’s control. #AlgorithmWars #CancelTikTok #DigitalSlavery

Critics cite Chinese intelligence laws, which could compel a Chinese-based company like ByteDance to turn over user data to the Chinese government if requested. In 2022, the FBI’s Christopher Wray testified that this legal framework was a national security concern

Tik Tok was loaded cram full with trashy overweight girls from the South selling false eyelashes, or giving advice about which Spandex pants to buy, or telling everyone they were single (and then endlessly bytching about their last boy friend, which made sense why they were single)
And cat videos

Your algorithm is specific to you. If that's what you saw, that's what you liked. Mine is all academic progressives, feminist theory and dogs.
