Research explores creator supply impact on short-video platforms

A research paper titled "Content Exploration Beyond the Feed: Creator Supply and the Shared Corpus" analyzes experiments on a short-video platform to understand the impact of content exploration on creator participation and viewer engagement. The study found that increasing exploration led to a rise in videos posted per creator and more creators actively posting content, without immediate negative effects on viewer engagement. However, a year-long viewer ablation experiment showed a slight increase in video views but a decrease in total view time, suggesting a trade-off between quantity and quality of engagement. AI

IMPACT This research provides insights into recommender systems and creator economics, relevant for platforms optimizing content distribution and creator engagement.
