Koinon Link currently indexes 701 E-commerce / DTC creators on Douyin. Below is the real structure of that pool — not the platform at large, but what is left after filtering.

How this slice differs from the index as a whole
- Median following is 931,119, 224.1× the index-wide median of 4,155 — expect higher rate cards.
- 35% have recent content captured for judgement versus 46% overall — confidence here is lower than average, so pair it with manual review.
- A and B grades are 27% of this slice versus 37% overall — expect to screen through more names to find usable ones.
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.

What to look at first on Douyin
Follower count is the least useful thing to sort by. Median followers for E-commerce / DTC creators on Douyin is 931,119, meaning half the pool is smaller than that — and what actually decides whether a campaign works is whether their audience is your customer.
A practical order: (1) narrow by sub-niche first (the largest segments above); (2) then check authenticity — this pool averages 59/100, and anything well below that deserves a look at whether follower growth came in vertical steps; (3) contactability last — 1% publish contact details on Douyin, and a low share is normal since DMs remain the main channel.
Why 76 accounts sit in quarantine
These accounts look fine on follower count, but their follower structure or engagement ratio shows clear anomalies. They are not deleted — just moved out of default results, so budget does not go to bought audiences. That is also why "creators indexed" above is smaller than the raw crawl.
