I think the quality of humor has really gone downhill over the past few months. I see so many creators making the same videos with zero jokes in them, and the algorithm just keeps showing me that stuff. Am I the only one who finds this boring?
I think there are still good creators out there, but honestly the repetition kills everything - when something works once, everyone copies it the same month. What the others said about the algorithm is true, but there's another side to it: you're also in their feed, and if a lot of people are watching generic content, it ends up invisible to the algorithm in the end, so it basically becomes a cycle that kills itself.
It's not just you. What happens is that when a platform gets too big, lots of people start making the same type of content because they see it works. Portuguese TikTok is relatively small, so it's easy to get the feeling that there's a lot of repetition. New creators see videos that blow up with views and try to copy the formula, which makes everything seem the same.
The algorithm is also to blame - after you've seen one type of video a few times, it keeps showing you variations of it because it thinks that's what interests you. It becomes an annoying cycle. What you can do is vary what you search for, follow smaller creators, or turn off recommendations for a while. Sometimes Portuguese TikTok has bursts of good content when someone comes up with a different idea, but you need to look for it.
The TikTok algorithm works like an echo chamber - the more time you spend watching one type of video, the more it feeds you that stuff, even if it's weak. The thing nobody mentions is literally stepping away from your feed for a few days and when you come back, deliberately change what you're watching: follow Portuguese creators outside the mainstream comedy bubble, like people making content about specific hobbies, travel, skill-sharing. It'll take about a week for the algorithm to recalibrate, but after that your feed becomes completely different and way less repetitive.
The best thing you can do is aggressively skip videos that don't interest you - the faster you do it, the more the algorithm learns that you want something else instead of getting stuck in that loop. Also try following creators who make better content and comment on videos you actually enjoyed, because TikTok puts a lot of weight on how much time you spend on a video and your interactions with creators who make good quality stuff.
