Does TikTok artificially make some videos go viral?

Most platform does this, but tiktok does it least.
 
I think TikTok pushes videos that people watch longer and engage with fast.
 
The main signals are watch time engagement, replays basically how much people actually watch and interact with it. Tiktok doesnt really choose winners it just tests videos and boosts the ones that perform well.
 
A video goes viral on your For You Page when it has high overall engagement, longer average views, and high viewer retention, incorporates trends, challenges, and especially has unique content that stands out from the rest.
 

The main signals for a video to go viral on the For You Page are high watch time, strong engagement (likes, comments, shares), fast early interaction, high completion and replay rates, and using relevant sounds or topics that match the right audience.​

 
Consistency and early engagement matter a lot too how quickly viewers like, comment or share in the first few hours can strongly influence whether tiktok keep showing your video.
 
This is almost impossible. The video's popularity is not accidental; it requires a lot of effort to produce. I've tried many, and there's no possibility of it becoming popular quickly in a short period of time.

Of a truth, no one knows
There are some real content,great in making not going viral
And algorithms are changing so fast this days
I had videos performed very poor in tiktok which eventually did great on IG
 
Video quality and creativity are key factors in determining whether a video goes viral. It's impossible for a video to become popular quickly; a hit video requires a professional production team and the assistance of a creative team. Therefore, you should focus a lot of creativity on your videos to increase the number of people participating and interacting.
 
The key signals for a video to go viral on your For You Page are compelling, unique content, good video quality that gets people to watch your video in its entirety or multiple times, rapid reach, and high engagement.
 
TikTok's algorithm does give every video an initial distribution push to a small, diverse test pool of 200–500 users to gauge performance. The single most important signal determining if it continues to the FYP is the Completion Rate (Watch Time). Videos achieving a 75% or higher completion rate consistently see exponential reach, as this metric proves high user retention and engagement to the algorithm.
 
People tend to follow the crowd. If a video is widely liked, one may feel compelled to share it as well, in order to show conformity—even if they don’t actually like it that much
 
From what I’ve seen, TikTok doesn’t force random videos to go viral but it does test new content with small batches of users. If those early signals look good watch time, replays, engagement, and how long people stay on the video it keeps pushing it wider. Strong retention seems to matter more than anything else.
 
In my experience it would be watch time I had a 2 min video do numbers because the average watch time was 1m30

from my observation it is not tiktok choosing the winner but rather tik tok trying content out in battches. if each new batch views longer, re watches, shares nd engages with it, the next batch could be much larger. this explains y some videos explode on tiktok hours after posting.
 
there is no public formula that guarantees virality. the biggest things to watch are the first second hold rate. average watch time. completion. rewatches. shares and how well the video matches its first audience. likes help but they rarely explain the whole result
