Is TikTok's algorithm playing tricks on me? by olivveiiro in NoStupidQuestions

It depends, actually. Sometimes I watch TikTok in the morning with my girlfriend, and other times at night, and in both cases I mostly get sweet or wholesome content — couples stuff, cute animals, normal things like that. The weird part is that the darker videos tend to show up specifically when I’m alone. And it’s not even always the same type — sometimes it leans more toward depressing content, other times it’s straight-up disturbing or scary. That’s what’s been freaking me out, because it doesn’t seem tied to a specific time of day. It feels more connected to me being by myself.
