I don’t really know that much about what YouTube blocks. All I know is I get a shit ton .ore lgbt and neurodivergent people on TikTok randomly then I ever do on YouTube. I get my diversity and different people. YouTube just seems like it’s all click bait shit I can’t handle. “Top ten ***” kinda stuff. And when I tried YouTube shorts I couldn’t find anything relatable or wanting. And they all seemed very just generic.

Sorry, I dunno where the word blocking came from in my reply - fat fingering I guess:-).

TikTok is well known for honing in on your preferences - which is both great and perhaps dangerous at the same time, be careful? Like Google, they may start charging money to get what you currently receive now for free.

That’s really odd that your YouTube is showing generic stuff - for most people it shows the same content, so you must be stopping their trackers somehow.:-)

Well I do have setup’s that stop as much adds and tracking I can get. Including a hacked version of TikTok. And it’s giga corps regardless of what country. I always never trust them.

Including a hacked version of TikTok.

Very interested into this, where did you get that? At the moment I’m using a burner phone to use TikTok to keep my privacy, so a revanced version of TikTok would be nice

Cool! Although if it’s able to detect that you enjoy “lgbt and neurodivergent people”, then it sounds like the tracking isn’t being blocked. On the other hand, it’s kinda working for you and that’s mainly what matters:-).
