I only get women reacting to Andrew Tate vids, but it's definitely a hype now for some reason.
Did you try long pressing and selecting 'not interested'?

Is there seriously no way to block a channel on TikTok? That's fucked up.
i don't think he has a channel himself. it's just thousands of channels that upload his shit like "wisdoms of andrew tate" or "epic tate shit".

This also happens with the algorithm on my Youtube shorts sometimes, just disliking a bunch of videos in a row usually gets rid of them. Since that's a tiktok clone/competitor I assume there must be a similar option for the original.

there's no dislike button on tiktok. i thought just swiping away instantly would make the algo get the message but apparantly not.

all of the people in his pyramid scheme need to recruit people so they arent holding the bag, hence tons of accounts pushing him.

I see a lot of videos making fun of him, but I've never once seen a video of him. I'm not even sure what he looks like.

I don't have TikTok but started to use YT shorts a couple of days ago and it's all about Andrew Tate for some dumb reason.

No idea who Andrew Tate is, but I see human trafficking and pyramid schemes mentioned - could OP maybe add context about who he is?

This has been answered now - thanks everyone!

That usually works a lot better. Sometimes it takes a second longer to register that you are watching chuds, and then it thinks you're interested in chuds. Or it might offer you similar content at a later time when it thinks you might be interested then. The "not interested" button is a lot more definitive, it means I'm not bothered by any MAGA or Jordan Peterson videos ever again.

I haven't seen a single video of or about him on my fyp. Must be someone in your friends/family that is very interested in it, or you look up things related.

This is not correct. Tap and hold the video and select 'not interested', Also you can go to the channel and block them.

i only know pieces myself and i'm not doing the research but he's a former kickboxer that is now a professional piece of shit scammer pick up artist type of guy that i think fled the UK and now lives in romania because of human trafficking charges.

i will not google him to make google think i care about him.

he's the new age of self-help guru, but for red-pilled mega chads or whatever. sells a "school" to teach you to get rich, which you sell to others with affiliate codes. also says a bunch of misogynist insecure alpha male shit, is a sex trafficker, has like 70+ webcam models that give him all their money, moved to Romania, admittedly because they have lax rape laws. owns a bunch of casinos there, is presumably in with the Romanian mob

edit: also the school is $50 a month, and is literally just a discord server.

Nah, my FYP on Tiktok makes abundantly clear that the algorithm is certain I'm a woman of color with a lot of queer tendencies and ADHD/autism, and all of my content is that stuff. And cute animals.

I don't know how many football (soccer) videos I disliked and set the accounts to "not interessted" and I still get them.
same with basketball/Shaq/Kobe.

do these apps even pay attention to that?

btw.: do other apps also show you countless clips from tv shows out of the blue?
you get one Suits clip and then they don't stop.
after that it is Peaky Blinders. then Breaking Bad, Better call Saul etc.

and every video has these "epic" music clips, that start slow and then when the "cool" parts happens the is a massiv breakdown..

He's blown up across all social media in the last few weeks in an exponential way because he's a new age red-pill motivational type figure who is super misogynistic and has a Multi-level Marketing scheme to teach people how to make money, which is likely the reason he's blown up so quickly besides his persona since podcasters and other influencers that are platforming the guy and giving him exposure probably are financially motivated.

He got his pyramid scheme exposed by Hasan in a debate, so it's possible that it kind of stopped his growth on Twitch which seemed like he was about to take off there as well.

no lies detected

To be honest, now that I think about it, it's a bit shit, isn't it? I rarely find something these days that makes me want to look up a person or find something new and interesting that I could follow up on, that used to happen all the time in the beginning, but the algorithm doesn't really manage to do that anymore.

Will make a conscious decision to not use this feature anymore, I think.

The only time I see this parasite is when I see creators put him down or sound the alarm on the toxic bullshit he's spouting. My FYP is the gays having fun, Nathaniel B, and obscure humor. I've been on TikTok since 2018 so my FYP is impeccable because I've really trained the algo. Sometimes it tries to give me mainstream videos with 2+ million views and I long press and say not interested. Let me be in my little corner and stop trying to Facebook-ify my feed with the shit the normies laugh at.

Really once again, we have a thread that's very telling of who people associate with, and their interests beyond this forum, because TikTok may be off the mark a little bit, but it says a lot about what people you associate with look at.

My FYP is Queer people, drag, thirst traps, burlesque, neurodivergent people, and people dunking on the right. With the odd animal video thrown in. Lately I've been getting smear painting art though.

But yeah, no right wing, no grift, no financial advice, or anything like that. I can get how people would dislike TikTok if that's what you're seeing but, that is not my experience at all

In before you're told that if you get Tate videos it means you like him because the algorithm is so good lol. I'll be honest I don't think the algorithm is that remarkable tbh. I think the adoration of the algorithm is way overblown. Also selecting "not interested" doesn't do shit a lot of the time. I still get random live feeds of people selling bags of shitty crystals and I always select not interested.

I don't get Tate stuff much tbh but he is a shitbag. The only hope is that he gets so overexposed he fizzles out soon.

i absolutely don't. i don't even have friends on tiktok.
I'm not talking about on TikTok.

I can start a new account on a new phone with my other socials logged in, and in a week without liking or following anyone, it'll be the same videos currently on my FYP... I know because I tried it because I was told online that tiktok was all animals and dances, and that is not what I experienced. It's grabbing a lot of data from a lot of other sources on your device, or what devices you're near.

Most of the times he pops up on my feed it's just people making fun of him. Otherwise my fyp is just thirst traps, cooking, and videogame stuff.

Part of the pyramid scheme he runs involves his "students" sharing all his videos around which is why he's been popping off everywhere lately. Dude's a grade A scumbag.

A misogynist pick-up artist and human trafficker who engages in sexual violence and justifying it through social media. He's part of the manosphere. Here's a couple of videos (Philion, FD Signifier) giving more details:

none of the people i interact with are vunerable or interested in this shit. if it's like work colleagues then there's hardly anything i can do about it.

I don't get gardening but I do get that off the grid shirtless farmer dude. Whew.

I bet he really knows how to plow.

LMAO, sowing and reaping, but not the twitter post.

The gardening is mostly because I'm trying to grow as much as I can (with moderate success) on my ground floor patio. Also, leftist stuff because that's my scene, and canning.

I couldn't grow a weed. Just not a skill I possess. I do get leftist tik tok periodically too but I really try to use it for escapism since I can spend all of my work hours wallowing in real world sadness. Honestly I'm surprised I don't get more Power Rangers and gaming stuff but I did end up on the Christianity end of it this morning somehow. Yikes.
