おすすめ

• 読み: おすすめ
• ローマ字: osusume
• 漢字の分解: From お (polite prefix) + 勧め (recommendation/suggestion) → in internet context, the algorithm-curated recommendation feed
• 発音: /o.su.su.me/

意味

The 'recommended' or 'for you' page on social media platforms — content curated by the algorithm based on your activity.

While おすすめ (osusume) is a standard Japanese word meaning 'recommendation,' in internet slang it specifically refers to the algorithm-curated feed on platforms like TikTok, YouTube, Twitter/X, and Instagram. 'おすすめに出てきた' (came up in my recommended) is how people describe discovering content through the algorithm. The おすすめ feed has become the primary way many users discover new content, replacing active searching. 'おすすめに載る' (to appear in the recommended feed) is a goal for content creators seeking visibility.

例文

1. おすすめに出てきた動画が面白すぎてハマった。
2. 最近おすすめの精度上がってきて怖い。
3. おすすめに載ったら一気に再生数伸びるよね。
