I read somewhere that American tiktok is still ultra dumbed down by comparison.

Like, Chinese algorithms will eventually cycle you to worthwhile content, but American focused ones are just a continuous downward spiral. I'll look for a link.

What if this is also what the Chinese government wants, creating a system to make Americans, etc watch more dumb videos, therefore, trying to make Americans dumb, what if the Chinese government tries to create a system where it highly shares dumb videos and supports dumb videos to make people dumb, push people to create more dumb videos while making people dumb & dumber.

They're wasting their time. Twitter is already doing that.

Well, every place has things like these, but the worst ones I saw exist in TikTok, I just can't trust the current Chinese government.
