Does TikTok control what content users see? Does the system create risks for inappropriate content? This guide will explain the system in detail.

Goals of TikTok LIVE

TikTok aims to keep users engaged and returning by optimizing several factors:

• User Activity – More time spent watching LIVE streams increases the chances of users enjoying the platform.

• Gifting – Users who enjoy LIVE streams are more likely to send gifts to streamers.

• Content Quality – TikTok prioritizes high-quality content for users to enjoy.

How Ranking Works

TikTok ranks LIVE streams using a simple process:
1. Candidate Pool – A collection of eligible LIVE streams.

2. Ranking Models – These models assign scores to streams based on user preferences.

3. User Feedback – TikTok collects data from user behavior (like, dislike, comment) to improve recommendations.

Ranking Model Basics

Content is given a score based on different factors like how engaging it is. For example:

• A stream from a popular celebrity might rank higher.

• Low-quality streams might get a lower rank.

TikTok uses prediction models and value-based assessments to decide what content to recommend.
