Supplementary notes

According to the source: "This study tracked, recorded, and coded the content recommended to 10 experimental accounts on 10 blank smartphones, five on YouTube Shorts and five on TikTok."

"On each platform, we set up 5 types of accounts: one 16-year old boy and one 18-year old boy who sought out content typically associated with gender-normative young men (e.g. gym content, sports, video games), one 16-year old boy and one 18-year old boy who actively sought out content associated with the manosphere (e.g. Andrew Tate, anti-feminist), and one blank control account that did not deliberately seek out or engage with any particular content."
