Try posting something on israel and palestine. it will get less views. Try doing a post like good morning. it will get more views!


The Israel/Palestine conflict is routinely at the top of massive subs like /r/news and /r/worldnews, two subreddits with diametrically opposed views on the conflict.


The channels are a different story. The dealbreaker is when that comes up on your newsfeed. It creates reactions.

My feed is repeatedly missing these things. And then i have to manually revisit them. It starts up again. And then ceases.


So what you're saying is those who control the feed algo have all the power and you want China to control the feed algo for a popular US app. Sounds smart /s


US wants to control the feed algo. TikTok said no. US wants TikTok sold to someone who will.

So far, China doesn’t control the feed algo. They control what content is uploaded. Imagine putting work into a video yet it never seeing the light because it was shadow banned. Now imagine it not allowed to be seen. The former is the western world. The latter is china.
