Isn't the problems from precisely what you are saying? If you fall into a recommendation hole, as long as they don't get moderation right it might be the wrong kind of hole. For impressionable audience, it might not be a good thing.

TikTok's moderation team is pretty on point. Far better than any social network I've ever used before.

I don't think the commenters who say they only get weird or bad content actually know how TikTok works, or how to use it. You can't just scroll your FYP and expect to get new content, you have to go out of your way to find it. FYP is just a feedback loop of videos you keep watching.

If you want to start getting more queer content, for example, start searching the #lgbt or similar tags and watching/liking/commenting. Your FYP changes really quick.

Not the experience for my circle of friends.

What if some hate video for the community gets posted under the same/similar tag? I am not sure how it is now but mid last year one friend saw something very offensive on a tag related to his nationality with a lot of likes.

It will get reported and deleted _very_ quickly.

I don't think its very fair to claim people who don't think the content is any good 'just dont understand it'.

Plus the conversation is about under 16s, I highly doubt what they're seeing is the same as you, so it's not really relevant what your feed is like.
