While a step in the right direction, the issue is that this option will most likely be opt-out instead of opt-in and hidden deep in the settings. And we all know most people don’t bother with changing settings.
TikTok is absolutely scummy in how they nag you for access rights to phone features / data but I don’t think there’s a way to do this without adding third “Popular” tab next to Following and For You.
If they had this as a setting then it’d have to stay this way. Industry standard is to withhold such setting and constantly default to algorithmic page in the attempt to trap you there or make you tired of switching feed constantly.
