Society6 uses algorithms to influence how artwork and products are surfaced and discovered on its platform, affecting which designs shoppers see when browsing.

Society6's official curation blog acknowledges that 'much of Society6 is influenced by complex algorithms,' which affect product and artwork discoverability alongside hand-curation by staff. The specific type of algorithm (e.g., collaborative filtering, behavioral recommendation, search ranking) is not publicly disclosed. It is unknown whether the system qualifies as a machine learning-based recommendation engine or a simpler rules-based ranking system. No further technical details are confirmed in available primary sources.
