Abstract

Short videos have been a part of our everyday life with TikTok being easily accessible, its advantage is how tailor-made it is, creating a digital representation of us. Given how customizable this social network is, it begs the question of whether we actually choose what we see or does TikTok's recommendation algorithm make that choice for us. Before conducting this work, I thought that there was no control on the part by the users in relation to what they viewed, however, after conducting this work, the answer is more complex than I previously thought. Consequently, this article will unfold with an introductory part explaining the popularity of TikTok, and subsequently a discussion about the behavior of its algorithm. After conducting the analyses, the conclusion I reached is that there is a symbiotic relationship between user and algorithm, where both must necessarily coexist.
