Updated 2026-08-08
This is the pool of Software creators on Douyin serving the China market — 1,356 of them. This is the most specific cut, and the closest to a real campaign decision: you rarely need "gaming creators", you need a particular kind of creator on a particular platform for a particular market.

How this slice differs from the index as a whole
- Median following is 333,201, 21.8× the index-wide median of 15,300 — expect higher rate cards.
- Average authenticity is 63/100 against 54/100 index-wide, with fewer bought-follower signals than average.
- 1% publish an email or IM handle against 7% index-wide — more dependent on platform DMs, so outreach costs more here.
How this segment differs from the baselines
| Metric | This segment | China · Software | Douyin · Software |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creators | 1,356 | 2,438 | 1,356 |
| Grade A share | 18% | 14% | 18% |
| Avg authenticity | 63 | 63 | 63 |
| Contactable | 1% | 2% | 1% |
Authenticity is above the platform-wide average for this industry (63 vs 63) — so vetting cost in this segment is relatively lower.
How to read these numbers: this covers creators indexed and validated inside Koinon Link, not every creator on the platform. Suspected bought-follower accounts are quarantined and excluded from the table above (shown separately). The authenticity score is our own anomaly detection over follower/engagement structure, not a platform-official metric. Figures update as collection continues.
