And what that does is like very specific to TikTok.

So TikTok...

is obsessed with um like trends or it used to be i don't we don't really have enough data yet on us tick tock to know if it's operating the same way but tick tock classic it it wasn't really concerned with like massive viral videos like it wasn't really trying to create like a

Gangnam style.

What it was trying to do was create a trend where everyone would participate in a Gangnam style.

So Andrew Tate's Clippers accidentally caused Andrew Tate to be recognized by the algorithm as a trend.

It sort of recognized like, oh...

Andrew Tate is some sort of thing that people are participating in because this algorithm doesn't have any thoughts or feelings.

It doesn't understand.

Like Andrew Tate was a dance.

I think that's exactly the right way to think about it.

Yeah.

What would the Andrew Tate dance be, Ryan?

Smoking a hookah while counting money, I guess.

Commenters, come up with an Andrew Tate dance.

Don't do that.

Don't come up with an alleged sex trafficker dance.

So...

Yeah, Andrew Tate gets turned into what is effectively a TikTok dance on a platform level.

Meanwhile, X has no safeguards for this stuff.
