How TikTok works
Here’s a summary from The Verge about a Wall Street Journal article on how TikTok’s algorithm works. There’s a video to watch and a visualization of the algorithm.
The WSJ created hundreds of bots to probe TikTok to see what would come up as interests. Interesting to see the behind-the-scenes of TikTok. (The original WSJ article is behind a paywall.)
Facebook a Mover in VR
Some interesting stats from Statista on the VR market. Looks like Facebook (Oculus Rift) is gaining on Sony (Playstation VR) and will continue to challenge the Japanese company with its recent announcement of its VR world platform.

Overall, according to Trend Force, global headset shipments grew 25 percent between 2017 and 2018, reaching 4.65 million units and are expected to grow by 29 percent in the current year. Despite growing interest in augmented reality, virtual reality still accounts for most of the shipments in the AR/VR market.
