“Clock App” = TikTok.
Took me a minute, not gonna lie.
I loved that guy, politician I think, who said “This app is disgusting. It’s just full of nearly naked young girls!” and everyone was like my dude, it’s an algorithm, that’s on you.
Is that an interrobang‽
i like platforms where i can curate what i see
I mean, you can do that with TT. Don’t fight the algo, work with the algo
i mean, kind of.
sometimes i engage on videos on purpose just so they show me more later, even if that specific one isnt good?
What is TT.
TikTok
Heavy like a brinks truck.
What if “work with the algo” means sinking into deep rabbit holes, or being bombarded with tons of Nazi speeches before the algorithm begins to learn anything about what I want, just to immediately forget it again?
What’s TT?
I’m guessing TikTok.
Probably at the point they went to the app store, searched TikTok, and clicked “install”.
Hahahaha I remember when TicTok was newish a friend of mine (who never once actually used TikTok) boomerly complained that it was “just underage girls twerking”.
He then proceeded to get roasted to hell and back the rest of the night, because Tiktock was famous for its algorithm showing you what you want to see. One boomer lying whine, and then 4 hours of being on blast and forever’s worth of random inside jokes on him.
To be fair, when you first install it/set up an account, it doesn’t know what you like, so it shows you the most generally popular material. A lot of that popular material is pretty… uncomfortable.
