Interesting that TikTok is the 3rd highest on the block list (considering Pinterest links as one). I wonder why since it’s not often that I get it as a search result on Google . Is TikTok showing up as a result common on kagi or is TikTok just that bad?
Tiktok has a lot of deep-ish search keyword spam that doesn't actually lead to anything related to the query, just some generic videos and a pitch to install the app. It's basically useless as a website.
Tiktok is just really annoying, they rank high for a lot of keywords but the results will either just redirect you to tiktok's homepage or a bunch of "discover" pages with random videos that contain those keywords.
If you're on mobile you'll get asked to install the app, if you try to view a video on mobile you'll probably get asked to solve a captcha and again asked to install the app.
Say you search something related to repairing a bmw, you might get results that are "bmw mechanic", "bmw repair inclusive", "bmw maintenance meme" which just lead to those tiktok discover pages.
What bothers me the most is getting an image result I want the full res version of, and being redirected to a discover page that doesn't have what I wanted
