He's been watching tiktok videos on youtube. Litteraly most of the thumb nails are of gorgouse young woman in underwear and bikinis. I know blokes look at this stuff and hes only 36 but i just find it off putting, these girls are only late teens very early 20s at the oldest. I saw his youtube feed and thought He's Litteraly twice their age.im probably just being daft but it bothered me like im litterly nothing like these tiktok woman and it makes me feel like shit and feel disappointed in him tbh. I don't know why im bothered really or why I've even posted. Is it me over reacting?

@Youarestillintherunning

It would really upset me, and make me question the character of my partner. Tiktok targets and shows videos based on what you "interact" with (likes, comments, or following) and shows you similar things. You're not being unreasonable.
It isn’t that straightforward. I don’t like follow or interact with any ‘thirst trap’ tiktoks and yet it goes through phases of showing me endless streams of them.

Same with Insta, it’s always suggesting ‘reels’ of young girls in yoga pants. I only follow or like people I know.

They just know that I’m male so keep foisting this stuff on me.

I don’t know why you’d watch tiktoks on youtube thougb thats a new one on me.

@blue30 that is odd. I manage a male client's insta account and only get shown the niche specific content we interact with.

I manage a lot of other pages and I'm very careful with what I interact with in each account because of the algorithm. In my experience it starts suggesting lots of stuff until it gets to know you and then it is later targeted (any platform).

Laser not later

You don't have to follow or like things on Instagram. You just have to watch it to the end, or twice, and it knows you are interested.

(Sakuram, sounds like your male client is perhaps not actually watching anything, which would affect suggestions?)

I'd be tempted to comment every time I saw him on his phone;

"Watching your tiktok porn again dear?"

"Still perving, darling? Is that the one with the blue pants or the red pants? Laura Smith bought some pants like that,she said they went right up her bum...Lovely..."

But then I am a passive-aggressive cow.

I’d find it repulsive if my DH did that (he’s the same age as yours) he had tiktok just to see what the fuss was about and his algorithm ended up just showing him a load of animal videos Grin

I’ve never looked through his phone etc but we often sit next to each other while browsing through our own phones so I’d know if he was looking at that sort of stuff, if it was just random once or twice and he hadn’t gone looking for it then fair enough but to sit scrolling through dozens of the same sort of thing means he’s looking for it and his phone knows it. 18/19/20 year olds are young compared to 36/37 year olds. I wouldn’t have gone out with a bloke that age when I was 19 (obv I know there are exceptions)
