User reports TikTok algorithm oddities and waves of clone bot followers after every comment
RileyRalmuto · x · 2026-11-14
A user describes strange TikTok experiences: the algorithm occasionally inserts completely unrelated videos that then 'predict' real-life events, and after every comment or profile visit, at least 10 bot accounts impersonating that person follow her — around 20 fake profiles in a week for women's profiles, sometimes with DMs.
The supernatural framing is dubious, but the behavior points to a real clone-bot/impersonation ecosystem on the platform worth knowing about.
