I don’t think I’ll ever be able to view any form of social media algorithm in a positive light after watching what happened to my dad
I understand that to some degree he had a hand in the information being fed to him but I watched something terrifying happen to him
My dad suffered an extreme psychotic and delusional spiral last year and while I don’t blame the tiktok algorithm for it I certainly think it played a large hand in his spiral
Leading up to his big break, he had been almost obsessively watching videos about the matrix and simulation theory on tiktok, and the more he watched then the more it fed them to him. I was starting to get a little concerned when he started dropping hints in conversation that he maybe thought some higher being or circumstance was sending him “messages” through these videos.
But when he finally broke down and asked me if I thought he was delusional was when I really hit me full force. Over the course of a year or so I watched this man dig himself into a hole where he was constantly surrounding himself with tiktok creators who probably didn’t believe in the theories they were using for content, at least not to the extent my dad believed they were, who fed him these conspiracy theories point blank with no nuance or questioning. And the true toxicity of especially the tiktok algorithm became extremely clear to me
For my dad it was simulation theory and other adjacent topics, but that kind of pit could just as easily radicalize someone. Putting yourself in a content pit where it’s basically an echo chamber with no sort of disclaimer or counter information. Just the subject being presented sometimes as an abject truth. And it’s fucking scary.
It’s scary as someone who is mentally ill and has already had their fair share of experience with psychosis and delusion who had to watch their father succumb to it (though, there were External Factors which were unknown to me at the time that were rapidly pushing him further over the edge). I understand that there is responsibility on the user to curate a timeline of content but when you are CONSTANTLY being fed more and more conspiracy theories then it is extremely easy to fall victim to them, regardless of mental illness
Idk it’s late but I think about this all the time and feel like I have no one to talk about it with because I feel like no one will understand. I didn’t have much of an opinion before but after losing my dad last year and thinking about the circumstances surrounding his mental decline and death, I can’t help but be rubbed the wrong way by tiktok. It’s nice to see the haha funny tiktoks on other social media sites, but I don’t think I’ll ever be able to actually personally use the app ever again.
And I was already kind of at that point!! I realized the content pit I was digging myself where I constantly felt like shit about myself because I was comparing myself to the people on my feed. Which, again, I have a responsibility to look out for myself and I did. That’s a me issue, not an anyone else issue and I had already gone to basically never using the app by the time all this happened. But the whole incident just amplified my feelings tenfold.
Point is- algorithms are fucking scary and if you don’t look out for your at-risk loved ones then they could very easily spiral due to the content pit they’re digging themself. Check in. Ask what they’re up to on the app and what kind of things they’ve been looking at on there. Not just to watch out for harmful delusions, but also to watch out for radicalization. Something similar happened with my brother when he was younger and watched a lot of YouTube. He was constantly being fed right-wing talking points and propaganda and never seeing anything else because the algorithm saw that he was watching that stuff a lot. (Thank the lord for my mother who was not having ANY of that shit. Her advice: watch the alt right playbook and find countersources but also make sure you’re critically watching the specific content being consumed if you can in order to deconstruct specific arguments. My brother used to come out to pick fights after watching Ben Shapiro or some shit and my mom would be locked and loaded ready to try and have a constructive conversation on what he feels and why he feels that way. Thank fuck she did that bc my brother was extremely close to being indoctrinated in the right wing as a middle schooler and now is honestly probably as far from the right wing as you can get. He thanks our mom for that a lot too)
this post is kinda long but I just needed to get this out somewhere, even if no one sees it. He had his issues and I have my trauma surrounding him, but ultimately I still loved my dad and I hated seeing what happened to him. I tried so hard to encourage him to get help but it was ultimately for nothing. In the end, his care team believed his delusions were reality and treated them as such which fueled him to believe them even more (I should also add for context: it was a lot more than just the matrix stuff but that gets really complicated and weird, as they not just involved but centered around my mom, but my dad believing we lived in the matrix/a simulation was really at the core of it).
Just be safe out there kids. Make sure you’re checking out and taking a break sometimes. Do something that makes you feel real or reminds you that there’s a beautiful world around us that is so much more than just a series of ones and zeroes. Try to expand the content you consume, especially on algorithm based social media (which I guess is pretty much all of them these days). Don’t be afraid to ask someone you love and trust for a reality check when you start to find yourself in that spiral. Please please critically consume your media and don’t take just everything at face value.

Your eyes roll to the back of your head as you try to recall the events that lead you to get your brains fucked by your professor. He caught you filming a video for your Onlyfans in his class. So, he took your phone and asked you to meet him in his office after class. There, he forced you to unlock your phone and show him what exactly you were recording. It was utterly humiliating and watching him, watch you, finger yourself with a pen underneath the desk. After, he’d told you that he’d tell the dean you were getting off on his voice lecturing you unless you did something for him. Which led you ass up on his desk, trying your hardest not to make a peep as his fat cock slammed in and out of you. “Now, what I'm going to do is take out my cell,” He grunts, rolling his hips deep into you. “And record you slamming your ass onto my cock so if you decide to open that sweet mouth of yours, I'll have no choice but to send this video to mommy and daddy back at home, understand?” You nod, tears forming in your eyes from the threat or incoming orgasm, probably both. “Say ‘Yes, Professor!’ and maybe I'll send you the video so you can post it and feed yourself this week.”

Ankles beside your head, Choso had you folded in half as he pounded into your swollen cunt. He’d been going for what felt like hours and you were about to reach another peak when he abruptly stopped. “Choso?” you rasp, voice raw from screaming. “What’s wrong, baby?” You ask, staring up at him as he stares down at your glistening cunt. He just tilts his head and continues to stare. You’re about to ask again when he blinks from whatever trance he is in and starts thrusting in and out, slower this time. “Nothin’ baby, jus’ gotta piss.” “T-then stop and go, hm–” you gasp when he pushes your legs down further. “Stop and go to the bathroom Cho.” you try to pull his hands off your calves. Choso tightens his hold and grins down at you. “C-Choso?” “Why would I get up when I have a perfectly capable toilet right here.” Is all you hear before you suddenly feel a foreign warmth in your cunt followed by wetness trickling out your pussy.

“You wan’ me to do what?” You ask, staring up at him from your position between his legs. “I asked you to stop suckin’ my cock and hang off the bed like a drugged-up bitch on her last life.” He stares at you with a look that tells you he isn’t truly asking. “B-but ‘Kuna—” He grabs your throat. “Don’t you wanna make me happy, hm?” You grab the hand around your neck. “Mhm.” “This ‘ll make me happy, little girl,” He plants a firm kiss on your lips. “Now do as I told you, actually I’ll do it, I know you aren’t the best at following orders.” He says before pushing you back like a ragdoll. “Yes, now lay there, don’t move, don’t speak.” Sukuna reiterates, finally satisfied with your position, naked on your stomach with your head hanging off the bed. He wastes no time shoving his big cock into your cunt. You groan from the sudden intrusion “Kuna!” “Shut up, dead bitches don’t fuckin’ make sounds.”

“Sit on his cock love,” Gojo demands, grabbing you by the waist and throwing you onto Suguru’s lap. “S-Satoru!” “’ Toru!” You and Geto screech at the same time. “C’mon guys, it’s fine I don’t mind, Loosen up!” Gojo looks at you on his best friend's lap and his cock twitching underneath his pants. He palms it. Don’t worry, we’ll have our turn. “I know you two want to fuck, c'mon! Do I really have to pull it out and shove it up your tight cunt?” Goji grits out, increasingly frustrated when the two of you stare at him like a pair of deer in headlights. “Baby, I-it was just a truth or dare question!” Your head aches and you put both of your hands on Suguru’s broad shoulders to stable yourself, trying and failing to ignore his hard under your panty-covered pussy. “Was it? So, you aren’t wet right now? And you Suguru? You aren't rock fucking hard at the thought of fucking the same pussy I cum in every night?” Gojo raises his eyebrow holding eye contact with you until you look away, face flushed. Suguru sighs, throwing his head back with murmured ‘fuck this.’ before grabbing your waist. “Yes! That’s what I thought. Ha!” Gojo laughs, watching as Suguru starts grinding you down on his bulge.

friends with benefits with nanami wouldn’t work because he would think you deserve better. you think your arrangement is going well, kento has never complained before, and you’re certainly more than satisfied in bed. he’s handsome, strong, kind, generous with aftercare, and really fucking good with his mouth, so there are no complaints on your end. which is why it’s such a surprise to you when kento confesses that he doesn’t like the way he’s been treating you, and no matter how much you insist that it’s fine, and reassure him that he treats you more than well enough, he refuses.
“but kento, i’m okay with this,” you attempt to convince him that hooking up is enough—he doesn’t need to feel like he has to do more for you, “you’re good to me, and not just in bed. please don’t feel like you owe me more.”
“you deserve something proper,” he’s adamant, shaking his head, “you deserve more than convenient sex.”
“but what if this is all i want?” you can’t help but to tease him. he looks awfully cute with his arms crossed, respectful refusal written all over his face, “i think eating me out on a weekly basis is quite enough, it would just be greedy for me to ask for more, don’t you think?”
your jokes don’t amuse him, but his expression keeps you giggling. still, nanami sighs, and grumbles, “you should want more. it’s not greedy.”
“kento, if i didn’t know any better, i’d think you’re telling me to raise my standards.”
he blinks, cheeks pink with irritation and eyes hollow with tiredness. you push every single one of his buttons and he doesn’t know why, but he would never stop you. maybe that’s where this impeding guilt is coming from—kento likes you, and he doesn’t enjoy feeling like he’s using you, even if you get to use him in return. he doesn’t want your relationship to be transactional, and he doesn’t like that you think such a relationship is okay.
because, guilt aside, kento knows he wants more of you; he wants all of you. and even if you don’t want him back, he thinks you should know that you’re worth having all of, and nothing less.
“maybe i am,” he settles, “you are worth more than an occasional hookup. you should be treated better than this, and i am sorry that i have let it go on for this long.”
“this is ridiculous—you’re nothing but good to me! and i like having sex with you. if you don’t want to have sex with me anymore, that’s fine, but—”
“i didn’t say that,” he interrupts.
“so… you do wanna keep sleeping with me?”
“yes. but we should go on a date before we continue.”
“but what if our date is terrible. do we still get to have post-first date sex?”
he shakes his head, stepping closer to you and holding your forearms before leaning down to kiss your forehead, “i don’t put out on the first date.”
you scoff, taking a half-step closer, snaking your arms around his torso, and grinning up at him, “what a prude.”
at that he smiles, before bending his neck to indulge you in one last kiss. “i’ll pick you up at seven.”
