Hold onto your dance moves, folks, because TikTok just got a makeover—and not the fun kind with a filter! Oracle and a gaggle of investors have swooped in to take the reins of TikTok in the US, promising to retrain the app’s algorithm using good ol’ American data.
But before you sleek your hair back and join a corporate meeting in your pajamas, let’s talk about what this means for your beloved For You Page (FYP). Users recently faced some hiccups—and not the cool kind you get from too much soda—thanks to a reported power outage. Is this just a tech hiccup, or will these new owners really change the way you discover content on this platform?
Rumors are swirling like your phone when you’re watching 3-hour scrolling marathons: how will your TikTok experience change under Oracle’s command? Will it be more curated towards grumpy cat videos or international breakdancing competitions? Only time will tell, but the concerns are real.
So, as TikTok continues its identity crisis, take a moment to ponder: Are we ready for an algorithm that’s more ‘corporate’ than ‘quirky’?
Get ready to adjust your FYP because change is the only constant, and it seems TikTok is in for a wild ride!
