      Madeline Pendleton’s “Hi I’m a Leftist, hi I’m a liberal” content is pretty good. They can be a bit long winded but all of their stuff is good.

      NotPokePreet has a mixed bag of funny sketches and solid analysis of stuff like the Gaza genocide

      Lady Izdihar is just lovely but I don’t get her stuff on my feed that much.

      CJ is great but he speaks very monotone. He’s young but he knows his shit.

      Also look up donttagrob, saint., and Ash

        I struggle to understand the appeal of this app.

        I like this person’s work but the machine does not deign to show it to me much oh well blob-no-thoughts

        We coulda had RSS, we coulda been an ungovernable web

          Yeah this is the main struggle I have with TikTok. I have a few creators that I tend to always watch but almost never see. Sometimes I’ll go search them just to make sure they are still active.

          I also find it odd how the alg sort of gets stuck in themes. At one point I get Amazon Driver TikTok all day, then I’ll get Deathcore for like 3 hours, followed by either socialist creators or lib/chud ragebait for a day. I sort of just want a mix of what I like. Which to be fair, TikTok is at least better at that the any of the Meta apps.

          The appeal of the app is the ease of making videos, the infinite storage, the filters and other features and most importantly, the best video recommendation algorithm that it has ever been created. There is a joke that goes along the lines of “TikTok knew that I was queer before I knew it myself”
