6.1 How the Tik Tok algorithm works
The Tik Tok algorithm is a set of rules used by an app to recommend content to users. It is based on artificial intelligence and machine learning that analyze user behavior and preferences in order to offer the most relevant content.
When the user launches the application, he sees a list of videos in the "For You" section. This list is generated based on the Tik Tok algorithm, which analyzes several factors such as:
User Interests: The algorithm analyzes the user's browsing history, likes and comments to determine what types of content they are interested in.
Content interaction: The algorithm takes into account how actively the user interacts with content, such as likes, comments or reposts.
Content popularity: The algorithm analyzes the number of views, likes, comments and shares to determine how popular the content is.
6.2 Factors affecting the visibility of your video
If you want your video to be highly visible on Tik Tok, there are several factors to consider:
Content Quality: The better the quality of your video and audio, the more likely users are to watch it to the end.
Title and Description: A good title and description can draw more attention to your content and help the Tik Tok algorithm determine which category it belongs to.
Hashtags: Using hashtags helps the algorithm identify the topic of your video and show it to a wider audience.
Engagement: Active engagement with your audience can help your content get more likes, comments, and shares, which increases its visibility.

Stream algorithms on TikTok are a set of rules that determine what content will be shown to the user in the "Popular" section. Typically, this section contains the videos with the most views, likes, comments, and subscribers.
The main streaming algorithm on TikTok is the "For You" algorithm, which determines the content that may be of interest to a particular user. This algorithm uses various factors to determine which video to show in a user's feed.
Some of the factors that influence the decision of an algorithm include:
User Interests: TikTok analyzes the user's preferences in order to show them the content that is most relevant to their interests.
Engagement: The number of likes, comments, shares, and followers your account has also affects the popularity of your content.
Content Quality: TikTok also analyzes the quality of your content, including video length, video quality, audio, and editing.
Post Time: The time you post your video is also important. If you post content at a time when most users are active in the app, then the chances of your video being shown in other users' feeds are much higher.
It's also worth mentioning that TikTok regularly updates its algorithms to improve user experience and prevent content that might violate the app's terms of use.

To get paid for live streaming, you need to have a TikTok account verified as a "streamer profile". This can be done by submitting a verification request in your profile settings. Once your profile is verified, you can start earning money from live broadcasts.
As soon as you become a certified streamer, you will have access to the tools to make money on live broadcasts. You will be able to sell "coins" to your viewers, who can then use them to buy "virtual gifts" and send them to you during your broadcast. Each virtual gift has a certain value, which varies from a few cents to several dollars. You will be able to earn on every gift you receive during the broadcast.
TikTok also has a paid subscriber feature that can receive exclusive content and other benefits in exchange for a monthly subscription. This may be an additional way to earn money on your profile.
In addition, you can use live streams to promote your products or services. If you have your own business, you can use TikTok to promote your products or services and connect with potential customers.
In general, to make money from live streaming on TikTok, you need to have a well-developed audience that will be ready to buy your virtual gifts and subscribe to your channel. Regular content that attracts new viewers and retains existing ones can also help you make more money on this platform.

Create a secure password for your account and don't share it with anyone.
Do not post your personal information such as phone number, email address or location.
Don't add strangers as friends.
Do not send money or sensitive information to anyone via Tik Tok.
Be careful what you post in your videos and make sure they don't violate laws or platform rules.
If you encounter unwanted behavior or platform policy violations, you can use the following TikTok security features:
Blocking Users: If you encounter unwanted behavior from another user, you can block them. To do this, go to the user's profile, click on the three dots icon in the upper right corner of the screen and select "Block". A blocked user will not be able to see your videos or send you messages.
Hiding Comments: If you want to hide comments under your videos that you don't like or are offensive, you can do so. Click on the comment you want to hide and select Hide. The comment will disappear, but its author will continue to see it on their page.
Reporting Abuse: If you notice a violation of the TikTok platform rules, you can report it. Click on a comment or video that violates the rules and select "Report". TikTok will review your message and take action on the offender.
Private Account: If you want only your followers to be able to see and comment on your videos, you can make your account private. To do this, go to your profile settings, select "Privacy" and enable the "Private account" option. After that, only those users whom you have approved will be able to see your videos and comment on them.
Managing your personal information: Be sure to check the privacy settings on your account to make sure that your personal information is not publicly available. Do not share personal information in comments or messages, and do not open links from strangers.
It is important to understand that the safe use of TikTok depends not only on the security features of the platform, but also on your own behavior. Be careful when sharing information about yourself, do not post inappropriate content, and report any violations of the platform rules.
14.3 Protecting your privacy
Tik Tok can be a great platform for creativity and entertainment, but it can also be a source of privacy issues if you're not careful. Here are some tips to help you protect your privacy when using Tik Tok:
Don't give too much information about yourself. Never share your real name, address, phone number, or other personal information in your videos or comments.
Set your privacy settings to the highest level. In your Tik Tok profile settings, you can set a private account so that only your followers can see your videos and profile information. You can also set it up so that only your friends can send you messages.
Be careful who you add to your friends list. Don't add strangers or people you don't know personally. Some users may impersonate others or create fake profiles, so be careful.
Do not post anything that could harm others. Do not spread rumors or messages that may be offensive or defamatory to other users. This may result in your profile being deleted or even legal consequences.
Be careful when using the geolocation feature. Don't share your real-time location, and don't give the app access to your location if it's necessary to use certain features.
Keep an eye on your kids if they use Tik Tok. Make sure they know how to use the app safely and that they don't give out their personal information. Tik Tok has an age limit so make sure your child is of the correct age to use the app.
