    As for TikTok, the dosage makes the poison. At first, you get lulled into content which seems reasonable. Over time…if one is not very very careful…the algorithms may include results that move you closer to a rabbit hole. Many times, you are interacting with a bot. The average user wouldn’t know how to administer the Turing test. Remember: If you’re not being charged a fee to use a website or App, it’s because you and your data are the product that is being sold.

    I'd expect that the issue isn't the platform (e.g. TikTok or KZread) or what the top items are on that platform, it's how the platform responds as you click on items with questionable content. If it is able to identify that you were attracted to that content and able to identify (via what other people like) similar content, then it can send you down a self-reinforcing rabbit hole.

    Hey Dr. Gil. I'm very happy I came across your YT channel because unlike most other social media doctors or "health experts" you provide the latest SCIENTIFIC evidence available to make your illustrate the subject matter. Some of the "experts" you fact checked, I follow on YT and kind of took their advice as being gospel. However, you point out that some of these "experts" make claims about X, Y and Z without providing references. I think why people gravitate towards those videos is because they speak so confidently about exactly what kind of diet we should be on and what kind of fasting routine. I guess people just like being told what to do. Having said that I think it would be cool if you told us about your PERSONAL dietary choices. I know you're not a fan of anecdotal "evidence" but I think your subscribers trust your opinion and could potentially gain some good dietary habits. Just my opinion, awesome channel and keep up the good work!

    It depends what your mission is in life. Do you want to reach and help as many people as possible with sound advice? Or do you want to stay sedentary on one platform and grow your YT channel organically (albeit somewhat slower) on it's own? You can accomplish the former by being on T.T. and at the same time grow Y.T. quicker by redirecting viewers back to Y.T.

As far as Tik Tok, many people these days prefer the short format videos, unfortunately that also means that many miss out on good information or can hear more information in a shorter period of time that may be completely contradictory of something you watched 5 minutes ago. I prefer to watch an in depth video, but there are a lot of people that won't. I will say though, I believe that Tik Tok is definitely one of the things destroying people's attention spans

    Hey Gil, I'd say do both.

I haven't used TikTok much, but it's a vibe you have to learn, I think, if you want to reach people on there. Perhaps you can do more informal videos there, eg response videos to content on there, rather than deep dives on topics. Good luck!

    hi, please bear in mind that's not quite what the video states. Elimination diets are usually a temporary approach and are personalized and continuously tweaked to avoid trigger foods while still designing a dietary pattern that is sustainable and supports both short term and long term health. This will rarely boil down to simply "avoiding fiber". Also consider that the intolerances in these GI conditions are often conditional and can in some cases be reversed, see our content on IBS and other gut conditions. Ideally work with a qualified GI health professional and thank you for your interest.

    The thing with algorithmic content though is that it typically starts more rational and trustworthy. As you engage in scrolling, the intensity of the content has to eventually increase in order to continue eliciting engagement. Intensity is often introduced in the form of shock, controversy, sexual content, etc. So you’d have to engage for a while to see the real zingers out there.
