The short video format social media platform TikTok is actively used all over the world. The company continues to bring new features to its structure every day to provide a better experience to its users and increase competition with other applications.
As in Instagram, TikTok also has a homepage where you can see the posts of your followers and an interface where posts that may be of interest to you are dropped. Now, the company is introducing a better algorithm for streaming “For You” and a system where you’ll find more interesting videos.
TikTok’s new “For You” algorithm
TikTok announced a new feature today. This feature will provide a more advanced feature for the “For You” section. This post feed offers you posts you might like. But sometimes there are videos that will not interest you and that are not in your area of interest. With the incoming new algorithm system, a much more successful filtering will be made.
Repetitive video concepts can sometimes be annoying. Because there are too many identical videos on certain topics, user interfaces tend to be repetitive rather than diversified. While the company aims to put an end to this, it will also allow users to choose topics they do not want to see.
He was summoned to testify in Congress because Facebook and Instagram caused diseases such as anorexia and eating disorders. Learning from this incident before it was his turn, TikTok mentioned that excessive diet or fitness, sad and separation-themed videos are watched excessively and can have a bad effect on the audience.
TikTok realized that the “For You” feed didn’t have enough variety and it wouldn’t be helpful to see the same type of content all the time. Now the company is looking for solutions to prevent this repetition. It will also allow users to customize their own streams.
Users will not see content that has been blocked and filtered for certain words or hashtags. Thus, another tool will be added to the “I’m not interested” option, which you can mark in the post you don’t like.
What do you think about this filtering feature announced by TikTok and the algorithm system being worked on? You can share your ideas with us in the comments.
