<b>"Low views means the video was bad"</b>
The received wisdom: views are the verdict on quality. The most demoralizing myth in the niche.
Why it's wrong: TikTok's first test batch is tiny (a few hundred) and noisy. A great video shown to a bad-fit batch dies; a mediocre one served to a hot pocket flies. With samples that small, variance dominates skill on any single upload. Judging one video by its views is reading tea leaves.
What's actually true: signal lives in <i>rates</i> across many videos — average watch time, save rate, follow rate per view. A consistently high save-rate video that got few views is a winner the dice failed.
Don't grade videos on views. Grade them on the rates the algo actually reads.
