| Abstract | “Douyin’s recommendation algorithms are scandalously precise. This means that the platform bases its recommendations not only on general, cursory metrics such as the male gender, but on much more refined and nuanced subdivisions, including age range and body shape. These subdivisions exist in each category, and help pinning down your preferences precisely,” said Loki, in an interview with us in February 2021. |
