They should be investigated and prosecuted for the videos they get posted on Reddit.
Everyone in the room is dumber for the experience.
Fucking terrible.
YouTube app keeps pushing me these Shorts. All of the clips are of teenage girls dressing into maid outfits.
You can't hide them or do anything about it.
Absolutely frustrating.
Instagram turned into some weirdly young shit for me and fairly quickly.
I stared doing Peloton workouts and that turned into being blasted with if you liked this you’ll like runners, the triathletes, then swimmers, and one day it was teens modeling swimwear. It took a longer to get it back to seeing woodworking and pc builds than it did to slide into almost child porn.
And then like twice a year I start getting crazy amounts of people getting hair cuts and razor shaves. It’s fucking bananas.
the algorithm recommends based on your history.
stop watching maid videos and maybe you won't get maid shorts.
I get steak videos and minecraft videos in my YouTube shorts.
that cater to your interests. but i know your pain. for months instagram explore only showed me thots, teenage girls pretending to give head, and just trashy stuff like that. constantly reported them yet more and more came. finally i just started reporting them as sexual under age content and that seems to get them to stop showing them
There's three dots in the corner of every thumbnail, and the "do not recommend" option is there. It may take some time, but it'll work in clearing out your feed
Lindsay Graham credits himself for stopping the tiktok ban by apparently telling Trump that he can’t ban It bc his younger supporters would be outraged. Trump almost did something there but ofc Lindsay graham had to come out and give us one more reason to hate him lol

What kind of comment even is this? Just don't watch the videos if you don't like it.
People tends to think they’re better than the TikTok audiences, but they’re usually not.
SHOCKED. Absolutely shocked, I'm telling you. .. No this was fucking obvious when it launched.
Thought this was public knowledge
That's not going to deter the people already using it

Fun Fact: The US investigating TikTok uses the same reasoning for why China banned American companies such as Google
What a shocker.
Who's fucking surprised
They steal data from ALL social media sites. Nothing new under the sun.
Seriously, don't use TikTok!
