algorithm is a word employed here to help dumb down the concept of the IP that people will want to buy from tiktok; no one means a literal algorithm.

That was my original point. The media and hence business / management use this term (incorrectly)

They could just say IP, or platform, or service, or implementation. But I guess saying algorithm makes everyone sound smart.
