This is also a key point. on tiktok the algorithm is very good anyway but you can ‘train’ it whilst using it to get it to show you what your interested in at that point in time.

If i want more silly videos i simply watch those and skip others and it very quickly gets the message. The next time i use it it resets and i can choose longer form informational videos that time.

On Instagram it’s the opposite and I’ve found myself having a mix of accounts to ‘trick’ it into showing me very different content types.

For example there’s no way that Instagram would ever show electronics or developer content my main account explore page I’ve tried! So i had to create a separate account for that kind of content.

Interestingly i get no sexualised content on my other accounts but where I’m following interests that are typically very male oriented i get the overly sexualised content. I never see any of that on tiktok and it covers all my interests sometimes without me even telling it!
