but TikTok does have that factor of trying to push bullshit on you

I have a feeling that what it is pushing in that case is what's actually most popular.

That would make sense from a business point of view, to try and push those into niche topics into the normie world.

I could be wrong and it could be a nefarious Chinese plot, but I don't see it. I still think the simple answer for how crazy it is, is because the majority of users are young women.
