What shapes your For You feed?
Ever wondered why certain videos show up on your For You Page? So have we. The For You Research Project, based at QUT and University of Sydney in Australia, studies how TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts decide what millions of people see every day. People share their real feeds with us, and researchers turn them into insight about how recommendation algorithms shape what we watch and who gets seen.
