Why it worked
The video addresses a common pain point for TikTok creators (low views) and reframes it positively, offering encouragement and a sense of validation. The relatable topic and supportive message likely resonated with the target audience.
Summary

It explains that the TikTok algorithm is unpredictable and constantly changing, making it difficult to gain traction. The creator encourages viewers to be proud of their consistent views rather than being harsh on themselves, emphasizing that luck and retention play significant roles in a video's success.

Product placement
TikTok: it is a social media platform where users post and view videos. It appears as a watermark and the interface is operated throughout the video. Removing it would change what happens in the video.
linktr.ee: it is a link aggregator that allows users to share multiple links from one place. It appears in the creator's bio. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.
