Toutiao is more than just a news aggregation app, it's a huge interest mining and data recommendation system. Moreover, the company expands its services to mobile video sharing platform and many other fields so as to collect more dimensional data of users. --- In my opinion, ByteDance is a data/intelligence company and Toutiao is just a great app to adopt the technology and grow fast. So, we look forward to seeing an even brighter future of it, which might be able to leverage the market.

BTW, the company has acquired many popular user-data-content apps and companies worldwide, while few of them were exposed.

Truth is what majority people like are just BuzzFeed taste stuff. And that is exactly what Toutiao is producing and excelling at distributing.

As one popular belief stated in machine learning, garbage in garbage out. They might use some really sophisticated model, but that is just another way of doing spamming a little better.
