Social media platforms TikTok and Twitter are flooded with creepy content referred to as โGear Swiss videosโ
Those who come across it are confused and uncomfortable, whereas many don’t know what it is. Continue reading to learn more about the Gear Swiss videos, the reasons Twitter users find them so annoying, and how to remove them.ย
What are the Gear Swiss videos on TikTok as they go viral
The For You page (also known as “FYP”) on TikTok is a curated feed of videos from producers selected by an algorithm based on your preferences and previous interactions.ย
However, many users are alarmed by the “creepy” content that is now showing up on their feeds.ย
Videos Of “Creepy” Gear Swiss Are Overtaking TikTok
Many people’s TikTok For You Pages have been filled with strange videos showing people in military uniforms. A logo reading ‘Gear Swiss’ is often watermarked on the videos.
It’s unclear what exactly is happening because of the bad camera quality and the enigmatic movements of the people in the videos. The people in uniform appear to be fighting, yet TikTok comments imply otherwise.
When people express confusion in the comment sections, fans frequently respond by labelling the characters in the video as “being silly.”
Some people make suggestions that the characters are engaging in more dubious and explicit behaviour. It is allegedly seen in the longer recordings posted on other sites.
TikTokโs Feed Suggestions
The content that is displayed on TikTok’s For You page is curated based on your interests and past interactions. Additionally, it displays what TikTok’s algorithm thinks you will like based on past interactions.
But given that they assert that they have never expressed interest in this kind of content, many users are perplexed as to why the Gear Swiss videos are taking over their feeds.
Angry Twitter users advise others to ‘stay intrigued’ and avoid searching for Gear Swiss videos.
The Best Way To Remove Odd Stuff From The For You Page
It is a good idea to block the content and ‘clean cache’ in the TikTok settings in order to stop Gear Swiss videos from appearing on your For You Page.
If you come across a video in the For You section that you don’t want to watch, just long-press on it and select the ‘Not Interested’ symbol. Then, in the future, TikTok won’t show you such videos.
Your pre-loaded personal information and viewing history are all that are stored in the TikTok cache. The videos you’ve watched are remembered in the cached data. The cache number increases with each video you watch until it is cleared.
You can save up space on your smartphone by deleting temporary data by clearing your cache on this video-sharing platform. Because of this, the platform might be able to delete Gear Swiss videos from your stream.
