I followed him and always watch his videos when they pop up on my feed.
Also, why are you messing with the comments? If you never look at the comments on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, they're much, much more enjoyable.

Conspiracy TikTok is the most dangerous and dumbest parts of TikTok. The amount of stupid af theories that get hundreds of thousands of upvotes is crazy. I've now seen videos of people being cautious of all vaccines now, and it's crazy dangerous the amount of young people that have access to this app.

Oh man. But i love to hatewatch as well
I know this exact same guy on Tik Tok, he is definitely the craziest one of the bunch. Believes clouds are behind the sun like you said, believes the elites are feeding on baby blood, and also that McDonald's is using little babies for their meat. Doesn't believe space is real.
Okay I found my problem, i love to hatewatch these people and engage in comments.
I see food, lots of food. Anti-work/work from home content. Chicago food and apartments. I am seeing big booty women in bikinis despite not subscribing or liking any of them(I swear). Lately, I've been seeing dog and cat videos.
I don't think anyone is getting defensive.
It's just the algorithm is really good on there, and if you're getting content you dislike, maybe look into the content you consume outside of tiktok or the people you associate with.
The only thing I dislike about TikTok is how many shit dating takes I'm forced to see from literally everyone. I thought at least someone would be reasonable but LOL nope, everyone in their mid-20s and early 30s are in fact dumb. Makes me wanna quit the dating game.
Also, the fact that being on it for 30 minutes can often turn into three hours. But other than that, my TikTok is full of...uhm....nerd stuff and things I refuse to elaborate on here lol.

My aunt thinks black holes were made up by scientists to keep people from going to church.
I don't use TikTok but I get sucked into watching YouTube shorts every evening which are mostly just tiktok reposts. I basically only get:
3 food vloggers who just eat stuff or cook
1 forklift mechanic who makes fun of weird tool advertisements
A couple of science channels that just do basic experiments, mostly with vacuum chambers.
I guess those are my primary interests. Food, bad tools, and vacuums.

I dunno, it seemed like 'your engagement with the video, even to dunk on it, is what's causing the videos to pop up' was more helpful than 'if you see shitty videos then you're a shitty person' :p
It's not a good idea to 'hatewatch' or consume videos just to make fun of them. You're still supporting them and helping them get money, sponsors, recommendations, engagement, etc. You're helping to make their viewpoints seen by more people. There are already organizations who track what's being said and debunking them.
I sometimes watch re-uploads on Youtube Shorts. Do not engage with TikTok directly at all.
And I fully admit it's total brain rot. But training the algorithm to not be full of total garbage means there's occasionally interesting stuff to watch.

First time I created an account, it suggested videos to me of some trashy looking older woman dancing "sexy" or attempting to and singing along to current music. Ended up realizing it was my 40 something year old stepsister.
Another thing I notice in the TikTok discourse by people who don't use it or are resistant to it is that they talk about the Chinese government doing this and that with the data but ignore or fail to realize that western governments have similar jurisdiction over any data held on any server in their respective territories.
I didn't understand it at first but after using it for a while I think it is the platform that serves me the most content that I actually want to engage with. YouTube does an ok job but is pretty insistent about me watching content from channels that I don't care about and categories I don't care about.
While you come across like you have stock in megacorp Tiktok while being so anti Amazon lol.
I found some TikTok creators that focus on IT and have learned multiple things like how to import data into Excel from any website with a data table and a service/chrome extension that will automatically create step by step documentation based on you just doing the thing.
The media taking the Thorpe Park video seriously was almost as funny as the video itself.
Tiktok is great. It's Day 19 of No Poop July so we're just getting warmed up.
My whole feed is comedy, cooking, comedy about bad cooking, and the occasional thirst trap.
As a general PSA, Tiktok hasn't been a predominately teen app for a long time now. Half of my feed is older people with comment sections that are clearly written by millenials and not Gen Z. You can tell based on whether people use "😂" or "💀". Also Gen Z ends every comment with "fr" or "ong".
It's a dangerous app though because you can lose a few hours without realizing it. It's like the MMO/Civilization game version of YouTube with the time warp and everything.

Even though there are legitimate reasons to dislike Tiktok, all people ever do is complain about kids dancing or batshit trends/conspiracies being spread on there.
Anyone who has actually used Tiktok for more than like, an hour, knows just how specific the algorithm can get and that if it keeps showing you videos with stuff you do not like, you're either using the app wrong or lying. The only people I believe when it comes to the app forcing stuff they don't like on them are people who get stuck on a specific countrys for you page, because that happened to me a few months ago and it was annoying as hell.
