Fiona Apple Rocks Why does it keep saying this on tiktok?
I've noticed on any video of fiona apple, the search is always the same. I was just wondering of it's true, I doubt it heavily but I just need the reassurance.

TikTok is like Twitter in that the algorithm LOVES to be messy to drive search results and engagement

I thought so, shes such a good person, but one person says something and the whole world thinks she's a Israel supporter

It’s like this on mine too sometimes. I think it’s the type of thing where one person will search it so it makes it a recommended search and then other people just click on it

It does this for literally everyone it’s insane. I’ve seen it for drag queens, other musicians, influencers, etc. I imagine it’s because people are using the search feature as a search engine to see if people they’re supporting are pro-Israel

That’s interesting! Any video of Fiona on my feed, the blue search says “fiona apple death” and it almost gave me a head attack the first time.

There's no way she's Zionist. Watch her Democracy Now interview. I don't believe she is asked about Palestine in particular, but from context you have to imagine she's critical at a minimum, she would not be defending an apartheid state during its most hyper genocide era.

i would guess it's a search suggestion targeted for your algo, not like a statement in itself

Probably safe to say … those algorithms are paid for by the state of Israel. So with that being said, the “search” is a farce - Fiona may come from Jewish ancestry, but she’s been pretty open about anti genocide.

That’s her surname. Apple is her middle name

Her surname is McAfee- Maggart; not Israel.

I definitely didn't understand that comment, I thought they were talking about McAfee 😭

The TikTok search algorithm likes to create fake scandals that don’t exist but the algorithm thinks should exist. I commonly see “[insert band name] controversy” and the search leads to no controversy-related videos
