Judging TikTok, Instagram, twitter etc by their explore pages and alogos is like judging nostr based off of primal's trending bar, which is nostr's own version of slop.
There are some genuinely funny and interesting people on TikTok, Instagram, twitter etc. Like anything tho it's a bit harder to find, won't be on the explore pages or whatnot.

I never used tik tok...and Instagram, I have an account made by meta but I never go there...very rare, only when someone sends me stuff.
Some years ago I had a Microsoft phone lol not connected to Google and I was so happy
Next I had a Huawei and the same. Very happy without algos and publicity but it took some effort to do stuff. I had to search for it and do rounds about.
I am not a content creator, far from it.
I share stuff I like that I find from others. So yes, those platforms are rich in funny and also some genius stuff I like and share. It has it's value.
Sometimes I write and make some silly videos and take pictures but far from thinking that they are awesome or amazing lol.
All this to

There are lots of people who use those platforms and do not like the algos tho. They used despite the algos. And I assume they would turn them down/off if they could.
I think there can be a bit of a snobbishness on nostr, like these people on TikTok just watch 4000 videos of people dancing and love the algo. It's just not the case (for every user at least lol)

I'm not saying there isn't a lot more slop on these other places tho.
We also have quite a lot of people here regurgitating trending slop off of other sites lol.

Yeah, that's an extremely fair point. I guess I get caught up in the technology a bit too much, not necessarily the content.
