    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.

        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:-).

        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
