Maybe people should stop and wonder if TT just built a stellar product that is very good at showing people what they want to see, not tricking people lmao... These same people who make these claims about TT are simply projecting. They should reckon with the possibility that just because a recommendation algorithm doesn't match your (very unpopular) bias, does not mean that it's a "Propaganda Engine/arm", and then maybe should ask themselves who really is the one wanting to do propaganda.

TikTok shops, advertising, culture all are very capitalistic and I don't get any of these claims, nor has there ever been any proof outside of trust me bro from western establishment types. Their business model is very capitalistic, and they are very good at that game. They simply want to serve the most popular content to as many people as possible, sorry to those who's favorite content is off-putting and rude to most people (racists/misogynist/transphobic content). Just because TikTok does not want to serve that content, (and trust they still do), this does not make them a propaganda machine. It makes them not idiots at running a social media business... How much revenue does Parler, X, Truth Social have these days? TT makes 4-6x all those SM companies combined.
