twitter's algorithms are terrible, I don't really interact with political content but I get political content shown every day, every day I get Elon Musk posts even though I don't follow him and every time I click on less Elon Musk content but it doesn't work. TikTok has nothing to do with this, if you don't interact with political content, they'll never show you political content.
Yep and it never goes away no matter how often you tell it you're not interested. It tries to force sports on me too. Don't want it.
