#2I'm pretty sure Google and Facebook know the same. This isn't really news.
Google Chrome's FLOC I believe sorts people into 5000 person groups with similar interests. I assume google picked this number for a reason. I imagine you can probably sort the world's population into groups of 5000 people with almost exactly the same interests and motivations.

#3"We programmed bots to go down rabbit-holes. Watch as TikTok's algorithm makes our bots go down rabbit holes!"
Not saying TikTok isn't spooky. But:
The effort that went into making the viewer feel anxious while watching this was extreme; and the effort that went into actual explanation of the TikTok algorithm was minimal.

#4I doubt TikTok's algorithm is really so awesome. It's a legend they promote to hype up their brand. I know I'm not their target demographic as I'm in my 30s, but it fails completely to show me interesting stuff. Instead, it shows what it thinks I could like. I get a lot of odd videos that start of sexualized and then turn into a prank (its a TikTok genre apparently). Or videos of woodworking. Or asian cooks. It is very odd and not very fun.
Facebook videos does the same, I get a lot of videos about Resin art and Woodworking and Streetfood, which are at best mildly interesting. I also wonder who pays for that or what their business model is since I see no ads. But maybe resin and wood tools are so expensive that it pays off for them to promote the videos.

#6For me tiktok is so depressing. I am single 25+ guy and seeing all those beautiful girls my age or younger makes me so sad. Than I can go to Tinder and match with pretty but not stunning girls and feel like I am getting robbed. And according to my friends I am easily in top 20% of attractiveness. Feel bad for rest of guys
I guess this is life in 21 century. Governed by algorithms and feeling empty inside

These responses get boring pretty quick. None of this is the real world. Start participating in the world off-screen. Start something new, drop bad habits and eventually you will fill that emptiness inside you.
It's the same for everything people get hooked on, it changes you perception but in reality it's all in your mind.

Man I feel you!
Don't fall in the trap of social media / social-relationship.
Girls on TikTok are beautiful as actress are beautiful, it takes a tons of effort to look so attractive effortlessly!
Similar deal on tinder, maybe even worse.
Go out and bound with real people in real life! Do the effort of being the first one to reach out.
Feel ok with having friends that are busy and that may not reply immediately.
But meet people outside internet, and you will be happier.

Yeah it is not always simple, we need empathy when dealing with this kind of problem, not brushing off people that may be having difficult times.
