My personal theory is that’s why TikTok is so addicting — everything is so perfectly curated to your specific interests, it’s hard to put the phone down once you’re sucked in.
However, TikTok’s recommendation algorithm still has its own flaws that the company brings up in its new blog post.
“One of the inherent challenges with recommendation engines is that they can inadvertently limit user experience–what is sometimes referred to as a ‘filter bubble’,” the post reads. It states that by optimizing for personalization and relevance, there is a risk of presenting an increasingly homogenous stream of videos.
Another issue that TikTok takes seriously is not surfacing dangerous content. This is an issue that YouTube in particular has faced criticism over for many years. According to TikTok, content that has graphic material like medical procedures or “legal consumption of regulated goods,” like alcohol, may not be eligible for recommendation because it could come across as “shocking if surfaced as a recommended video to a general audience”.
That’s why many creators on TikTok will upload a video more than once or talk openly about feeling shadow banned over particular content.
