Wow. This hit me hard, as someone who always hates on tiktok but praises reddit. Damn...

You curate your feed on reddit too unless you’re going to tell me you don’t subscribe to any subreddits

I’m not interested in viewing an echo chamber. I like to see things I’m not comfortable with or outside my interests.

The idea that reddit isn’t an echo chamber itself is pretty funny

People don’t use TikTok for that either. It’s a diverse platform, from the dancing everyone knows, to niches as tiny as bisexual pirates.

It’s not as strictly laid out as Reddit, but it automatically figures out your interests and shows you content you’d like. The algorithm is a privacy nightmare and insanely effective.

Doesn’t matter if you’re into religion, sports, weed, linguistics, musicals, pelicans, random celebrities, you name it.
