## Extraction Notes

Systematic review examining how algorithmic recommendation systems shape content creation practices across major platforms (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram).

Key insight: Distinguishes between algorithmic curation (passive filtering) and revenue-model-driven optimization pressure (active creator adaptation to platform incentives). Confirms attractor state prediction - creators become dependent on platform-specific engagement metrics.

Limited by lack of quantitative measurement of the magnitude of these effects across different creator segments and platform contexts.

## Claims Extracted

- Platform revenue models create optimization pressure on content creators
- Algorithmic recommendation systems drive creator dependency on engagement metrics
- Creator adaptation to platform incentives differs from passive algorithmic curation
