Social Media Users Question Algorithm Bias Towards "Attractive" Content

A recent video by user Aairo, uploaded from the US, highlights a growing sentiment among social media users regarding content visibility. In the video, a man expresses frustration with platforms like TikTok, suggesting their algorithms predominantly favor individuals deemed "attractive" or those who are "extremely funny." "I'm so tired of only seeing fine shit going by on my For You page," the user stated, questioning, "Where is medium fine shit? Where is average shit?" He further elaborated on the perceived disparity, asking why "average-looking people" don't go viral unless they are "extremely funny." The user advocates for a shift in algorithm focus, suggesting platforms should also promote "medium fine" or "ugly shit with personality." This sentiment reflects broader discussions within online communities about fairness, representation, and the impact of algorithms on content diversity and user experience.
