    The Chinese TikTok has videos of scientists and musicians and engineers all tackling major problems. It’s inspirational

    My TikTok FYP is various scientists/science commenters, stand up comedians, chubby goth girls dancing, Magic The Gathering card reviews, and swinger shit.

    If you engage only with things you like, you’ll only see things you like.

      Stupid lizard brains are too easily tricked with tribalism and anger though. It takes a real conscious effort to curate your feed like that.

      Any nuanced opinion on Gaza gets trashed because both “teams” view you as the enemy. You’re always pushed towards absolutism.

        I agree with the latter, but I don’t think it takes a lot of effort to curate a TikTok FYP.
