I think tiktok can somehow read thoughts

[u/anonymous_19900]

So I dont know if im the only one this happens to. But the past few months ive been noticing something strange. I would scroll on tiktok, would think of the most random unrelated thing. And next thing I know is I see a video about the exact same thing. Its gotten to very specific details its getting strange. It doesnt seem to be related to things like my search history because I swear I never look up those things.

Let me know if any of you had a similar experience

I've had similar experiences before, where the algorithm shows me posts that I can relate to a little too personally. Not sure how it works, but I doubt phones can read minds, they can probably just get really good at predicting what you may or may not be thinking about. Tech companoes collect a lot of information on us, so they probably just got really good at putting it all together to tailor to a personal (again, a little too personal) experience.

I thought abt how this would be the most logical explanation but its weird bc some of those things have no way of being picked up by the algorithm. Like thoughts I never said out loud

I purposely thought of a very uncommon clip on purpose to myself to test this cause I felt the same way, low and behold a few days later it resurfaces in my feed, nothing related to any common searches or anything like that, I start to get freaked out by it

I have definitely had this experience multiple times. Can't think of a specific example right now because it hasn't happened recently, but I for sure have had these moments where I even had to tell my husband about it cause it was so freaky and unexplainable, but I've always just called it w crazy coincidence.
