so you agree that tiktok is able to classify "cooking videos" and "cooking videos with slightly sexualized hosts"? and that they "willingly" "try to push in recommendations" posts with higher "sexuality" attached content?

No, again, my assumption is that the user would trend towards that content. You don't need to push people towards it if you have a nuanced enough profile of each video.

(all things made up for this example)

cookinglady39 does a beach bbq recipe tiktok, in a bathing suit. You watch it. They give you another cookinglady39 video where she's back in the kitchen, you skip it, they give you a new cooking host also female, also dressed in summer attire cooking outside. You watch til the end. It gives you a man cooking outside, you skip. Nothing you've seen so far has been sexual, but tiktok is probably picking up on some trends that might lead them to give you more and more things done by women, then women in a certain setting, dressed a certain way and so on.

TikTok gives you the content you enjoy. When someone complains about TikTok content I basically assume they don't understand how good the algorithm is and that you just like that kind of stuff. I don't care whether you do or not but TikTok thinks you do because of the feedback you are giving the app. I mean, you clicked their profile and followed their links all the way to onlyfans. They have to assume you like it.

I think you are anthropomorphizing the algorithm. The algorithim likely isn't ranking sexuality. It just knows people really love this content.

You’re kind of outing yourself here.

All it’s doing is giving you more of what you show the most interest in.
