Seems like wsj trying to make something out of nothing. Obviously there is content that can be categorised as LGBT, and obviously there are users who engage with it. Those users will be associated with the content somewhere, that's a prerequisite for a recommendation algorithm that gives you more of what you watch. What's the issue here? TikTok also tracks users who watched content about kites, airplanes, Democrats, Republicans, and dinosaurs. And pretty much any other category of content you can imagine.
