I find it interesting how a lot of men here claim women are addiction to social medias and how social medias/dating apps wrap women's perspective on reality, while they themselves let these things shape their worldview.

Social medias suck, they can influence your self-esteem, opinions and values whether you admit it or not. Everyone would benefit from taking breaks and heavily cutting down the use of social medias.

I'm not the exception here btw. I might view PPD as a source of entertainment and a place to chat with different people, but overall I get affected by negativism as well and I do think I should take a break.

how does it confirm just bluepill beliefs? algorithms can confirm any beliefs depending on the individual using it.

my tiktok fyp leans politically to the right because i do. i don’t think tiktok is “confirming right wing beliefs” as a whole because of it.

How does tiktok confirm blue pill beliefs? If anything the content on there is very red pilled and shows AWALT and all that stuff. It’s really toxic and I have to remind myself that not all women have 30+ body counts

I learned the “completed video” thing the hard way. I once looked at an ad for a cat feeder because we had just gotten a cat and the feeder looked interesting. Now half my feed is fancy cat toys and cat tech. I don’t even like cats!

The algorithm is dumb but it’s also very aggressive. Your job as the human is to see what’s going on and use your real non-artificial intelligence to separate fact from engagement-baiting. Coming here crowing about your latest outrage because “It’S aLl OvEr TiKtOk” tells us that you can’t out-savvy some very basic computer programming.

And you guys are supposed to be the holders of some greater knowledge?

Sorry but most algorithms are modified to show you what THEY want you to see, not what you want to see. For example type “Happy White Woman” into Google images and you’ll be inundated with images of happy black male+whites female couples. I’m not going to take them at their word that the algorithm works as described, red pill and (redacted) communities have to be moderated off of the internet repeatedly for a reason.

I would go on a very long rant on how TikTok is basically a PsyOp created and invested in mining the social relations of people in general in the west (and that it's basically a complete opposite of what Chinese TikTok is for instance), but you'd call me crazy. What I know is that I look at my "For You" page, my "Following" and how that content is delivered to me, there's a clear manipulation of what the app wants to transmit to me. Most of the content and creators I follow are either MTB or Kitesurfing/Waterman creators and yet what I get most of the time is "red pill" content, but only very specific red pill content that would be very well targeted at me, if not for the fact that I've never been married and don't have kids, something the app doesn't know so it's guessing what's "good for me".

Didn’t you learn about red pill from the famously alt right radicalizing YouTube algo?

Social media like Twitter is filled with bots. There are claims that at least 50% are bots.

For your personal knowledge, these algorithm usually work both way: The app learns both what the content is and what content you like at the time. It doesn't assume categories, categories emerge and disappear in the "subconscious" of the app's AI.

Anyway, I don't see how any of this confirms blue pill beliefs. Red pillers indeed say that social medias work like real life, and such claim would support something like "the most attractive people will be the most popular eventually" which seems to be true for tiktok regardless of the algorithm.

It’s “social” right? It’s all real people, so the theory would be that if you are seeing a lot of real people doing a specific thing, then it means majority of real people are doing exactly that.

But that isn't a claim from any pill. That makes 0 sense.
