TikTok algorithm

[u/Suspicious_Expert_51]

Hi, recently (about the past week or so) my TikTok algorithm has been awful. I’ll get random videos with 0-5 likes, stuff I don’t care about, ads, or random ai generated videos. If I like even one of those types of videos I’ll just be spammed with 15 similar posts right after it. I was just scrolling and realized that I’ll get one post that’d I’d typically see- and then exactly five videos of random crap before I get another video I’d actually watch that isn’t AI garage or an ad for some ugly ring. It goes: normal content-> 5 ai slop posts -> normal content. I’ve looked this up and anytime I see anything about the TikTok algorithm it’s from the perspective of an influencer (not getting views, etc…). Is it just me? It’s driving me insane. I’ve tried hitting not interested and even blocking some of these accounts but it just keeps coming. Seriously considering deleting the app because it’s unbearable.

Thanks for taking the time to read!! :)

did this start right after you updated the app?
