• Abstract summary: We propose a modeling approach to predict how feedback from content consumers incentivizes creators. We then leverage this model to optimize the newsfeed experience for content creators by reshaping the feedback distribution. We present a deployed use case on the LinkedIn newsfeed, where we used this approach to improve content creation significantly without compromising the consumers' experience.

• Abstract: Social media platforms bring together content creators and content consumers through recommender systems like newsfeed. The focus of such recommender systems has thus far been primarily on modeling the content consumer preferences and optimizing for their experience. However, it is equally critical to nurture content creation by prioritizing the creators' interests, as quality content forms the seed for sustainable engagement and conversations, bringing in new consumers while retaining existing ones. In this work, we propose a modeling approach to predict how feedback from content consumers incentivizes creators. We then leverage this model to optimize the newsfeed experience for content creators by reshaping the feedback distribution, leading to a more active content ecosystem. Practically, we discuss how we balance the user experience for both consumers and creators, and how we carry out online A/B tests with strong network effects. We present a deployed use case on the LinkedIn newsfeed, where we used this approach to improve content creation significantly without compromising the consumers' experience.

  We show that a purely relevance-driven policy with low exploration strength boosts short-term user satisfaction but undermines the long-term richness of the content pool. Our findings reveal a fundamental trade-off between immediate user satisfaction and overall content production on platforms.

  We propose a framework that leverages explicit user feedback, such as clicks and reactions, and content-based features, such as writing style and frequency of publishing, to rank Content Providers for a given topic. We evaluate our framework using online experiments and show that it can improve the quality, credibility, and diversity of the content recommended to users.

  In this study, we perform system-side user welfare optimization under a competitive game setting among content creators. We propose an algorithmic solution for the platform, which dynamically computes a sequence of weights for each user based on their satisfaction of the recommended content. These weights are then utilized to design mechanisms that adjust the recommendation policy or the post-recommendation rewards, thereby influencing creators' content production strategies.

  We study a game between content creators competing on the basis of engagement metrics and analyze the equilibrium decisions about investment in quality and gaming. We show the content created at equilibrium exhibits a positive correlation between quality and gaming, and we empirically validate this finding on a Twitter dataset. Perhaps counterintuitively, the average quality of content consumed by users can decrease at equilibrium as gaming tricks become more costly for content creators to employ.

  We study the creator economy as a three-party game between the users, platform, and content creators. We analyze two families of contracts: return-based contracts and feature-based contracts. We show that under smoothness assumptions, the joint optimization of return-based contracts and recommendation policy provides a regret.
