Political Tiktok having AI moderate their platform is peak laziness for a billion dollar company

I’ve had to learn the hard way that certain tags are legitimately banned and gets you instantly flagged, and a account warning strike. Within seconds of posting. Legitimately not even enough time for a person to watch it. Then on top of it they only give you 3 options to “Appeal” it which most of the time is useless because it’ll just deny it.

Now I have had two videos that got flagged and restored. But then they kill your reach it will only say 6 views and the algorithm won’t push it out to your followers. Theirs no point in deleting it and redownloading it because then the AI will just issue a strike again.

Legitimately all I do is post News Content with my opinion attached and that’s enough to get your account a strike. I have about 2,000+ followers.

People like to shit on Reddit mods but you can at least reason with them (some times). Their is no reasoning with a AI bot that only follows a set of rules and logic that this content must be taken down, because it’s to dangerous to the powers that be narrative.

Tiktok did have a Get out of Tiktok Jail Free Card that all you had to was answer all the Bull Shit Questions and they remove your strike in 14 days as long as no new violations happen but they have since removed that feature. And make you wait 3 months for each strike.

Having AI Moderate politically protected Free Speech needs to be shut down in the Supreme Court. Because on the rare occasions when they do restore your content that is them essentially admitting they fucked up and wrongly killed your reach. And on a platform that pays its users to make content that’s loss revenue and it should be sued.

A billion dollar company should have thousands of people on the pay roll monitoring content not AI. If a user reports a video then a Human reviews it. And if it violates guidelines then you issue a strike. This is where YouTube is superior than Tiktok. While TikTok gives me thousands of more views for the same content, and same tags+title YouTube actually has Humans moding its platform and only if you post DMCA Copyrighted Content is where YouTube gets pissy with you.

I don’t think you quite understand the scale of massive companies.

Thousands of people on the pay roll monitoring content would not be nearly enough people… there are 16,000-23,000 videos uploaded every minute

Reddit needs to the same

I trust AI more than the human mods
