TikTok's recommender algorithm is one of the world's most opaque social media systems. Multiple studies have analyzed it and gathered the first clues about how the platform works. Nevertheless, most parts are still undiscovered and are subject to constant change. In this Thesis, you run a measurement study on the TikTok platform to reproduce, assess, and improve previous studies on their algorithm.
