TikTok is already a super app with a huge client base, and the content is completely recommended by the recommendation system according to personal preferences, but the recommendation system cannot understand video content. It can only identify the signals from users. If some creators trick our users to make some positive signals such as likes, favorites, the recommendation system believes that content is good. It will dispatch that content to more users. If the content is really bad , it will damage our users and TikTok brand perception.

Therefore, it is necessary to intervene manually from the perspective of users, creators, and platforms, so that the TikTok ecology can carry out a virtuous cycle , suppress those that do not meet the platform specifications, and advocate those that meet the platform specifications.
