I made a tiktok account to write a comment on a video I hated. Now when i sign in again I am presented with lots of awful videos from the guy I dislike. I cannot delete my viewing history using the website, and following other accounts doesn't remove the obsession tiktok has with always showing me his videos as the default.
I'm not installing the app, so the only way around this is to delete my account completely.
- rpigab 9mo agoClassic "any interaction is positive interaction". That's modern platforms to you. Do not try LinkedIn. Not even once.
- fallinghawks 9mo agoJust recently, Twitter started making the default view "For You" instead of "Following" with no way to switch back. Fortunately there's an extension that fixes that and lets you eliminate the For You view entirely.
- fakedang 9mo agoLinkedIn blocked my account for security reasons and is apparently asking for more information, so I don't care. I simply quit LinkedIn. And is it just me, or has LinkedIn Recruiter become all the more useless after the LLM age? At least we're not renewing that abomination next year, opting to use more flesh-and-blood headhunters.
- adzm 9mo ago> the only way around this is to delete my account completely You can choose the option to tell TikTok you are 'not interested' in videos like these, or block the account entirely. There are legitimate criticisms about social media algorithms, but I don't understand why you jump to the conclusion that you have to delete your account.
