My take on this was user generated content = content generated by people you follow vs network generated content = content generated by people that you don't follow that the network recommends to you.

There's a huge difference between TikTok's FYP and Following Page and Friends page. While content is all user generated, I expect something different from each of these three modes.

Same, but I think you got it backwards, at least based on their description.

User-generated content = content generated by all users (i.e., users you follow and users you don't)

Network-generated content = content generated by users in your network (i.e., users you follow)

Makes sense. I think my framing would make sense if it said platform-generated content. Network per your framing makes more sense.
