Points clés
The Algorithmic Revolution That Changed Content Forever
In 2016, as Zhang Yiming watched Beijing commuters transition from newspapers to smartphones, he had a profound realization: "This is a revolution in information dissemination." This observation would fuel his creation of ByteDance and eventually TikTok-a company that would reshape how billions consume content. Unlike Facebook (built on social connections) or Google (built on search), ByteDance pioneered algorithmic recommendations as its core technology. Within just a few years, this approach would transform a small Beijing apartment startup into a $100+ billion global powerhouse. What made this revolution possible wasn't just technology, but Yiming's unique vision for how algorithms could solve the fundamental problem of the smartphone era: connecting people with relevant content on small screens in a world of infinite information.
