What makes tiktok different is not the algorithm, but the data that the algorithm has to work with. Do you like a tweet? Hard to judge from your behaviour, unless you explicitly hit like. With video, it's easy: Do you keep watching? Youtube's algorithm works great for the same reason. (The article does point out one important difference between youtube and tiktok: On youtube, you have to click on a video first. Meaning, the algorithm has to suggest not just videos you would enjoy, but also videos that you would decide to click on.)
- mullingitover 4y agoTheir algorithm isn't very bright in my experience. I literally, for weeks, immediately selected "not interested" in every. single. video. that had any mention of crypto, and they still just poured in constantly. It wasn't until a pretty recent update where you can create blocklists for keywords that I was finally free of them.
- Kiro 4y agoThe "not interested" button does nothing.
- nickthegreek 4y agoThat is not my experience.
- Kiro 4y agoIt hides that specific video locally but does nothing for the algorithm.
- nickthegreek 4y agoI normally use the the little arrow to the right to go into the sub menu and do not interested in user. That seems to remove that individual from my fyp. Which also seems to tailor the adjacent content.
