Not sure that we can use Reddit as a good example, Reddit's "Popular" page was full of anti-Trump mockery while praising Biden no matter what initially and then they switched to praising Kamala, this example is not healthy if you was looking for unbiased information about candidates.

That's my point. Reddit is completely skewed against Trump, conservatives, the right, whereas TikTok allows this content and it thrives. TikTok was one of the few extremely mainstream platforms where pro trump content was allowed and flourished. I think for this reason Trump will fight the ban

TikTok, while allowing whatever content people post, can easily be trained to show you what you want to see. People that were fed whatever insane gibberish pro-Trump content are mostly the ones that wanted to see that content.

When election campaigns "got going" I started first see pro-Left content for about 2 days off and on. Disliked the F out of it... as I was doing that the algorithm was proly thinking "ohhh the right-winger, here's some awesome pro-right content..." took 2 days (off and on) to dislike that shit... From like August onward I maybe saw 2-3 political videos weekly if that...

Social media companies do not give a shit what you watch/read as long as you read/watch as long as possible. So you will get whatever (on TikTok or otherwise) you actually want to see there :)
