I've never really used tiktok, but with Reddit shitting the bed it's time to expand my horizons and create a social media "mix"

So yesterday I'm watching tiktok for pretty much the first time having a real go at it, and I noticed when I'm scrolling the videos are all kinda meh, then I click back (to exit on android) and I get a "decent" one, so I hang around and watch it, then scrolling more meh, back, decent video. Is this a thing? I ended up just clicking back to game the system, if I really liked the video I would reward tiktok with a scroll, if it gives me a shit video, back again.

Am I nuts?

Look out people

Interesting analysis of how fox news operates in the states and what can be done about it

If anyone knows how to get video previews to be a thing let me know

I'm making a community with a bunch of archived photos and videos I have of cats getting pulled along in shoeboxes in a train like formation - I'm calling it CatTrain.

Anyway typically I would host it on Reddit any they would come from v.reddit (after Imgur got all pissy) but I want to avoid using Reddits backend after they also decided to change direction.

What does everyone recommend?

I'm thinking mobile but keeping the options open
