I work in the area of recommendations, and this is not a solved problem at all. You can only recommend what has been shown (without doing coldstart). One major issue is that other forms of content than 30sec clips can't easily utilize TikToks way of bootstrapping engagement when the item is fresh. Not everyone will understand or appreciate a "new Shakespeare" and it may fall by the wayside.

I too hope it gets better, but it's hard to replace a panel of experts that have sifted through their subject when it comes to quality recommendations in some fields.
