Shorts suggestions are based on what you watch. If you spend less time watching rage/OF bait shorts or just scroll past them, they will show you less of these. 95% of my shorts scrollpage is from creators and topics that I'm interested in.

Soo looks like you just like to watch this type of content if this is what the app is serving you.

I don't like blaming the user, but I can confirm I only get shorts from creators I follow but then I also don't tiktok scroll once I open a short, I will see a short on my home screen open it and then back out and watch the other one in the side scrolling list if it interests me

my feed should be all art videos then but its not. They throw in shit that I never look at.

Instagram reels never does this to me btw. I never really stray from watching speed paints/drawing tutorials/artist reels so that's what I see.

I know how it works and I'm saying it doesn't work good enough. It shows things I like and subscribed to but it also shows me things I don't want to see more often than I expect.
