Why do some TikTok accounts grow with average content?

Consistency and good hooks often matter more than having the highest-quality content.
A simple video that keeps people watching can grow faster than a polished video that gets skipped.

sometimes it comes down to luck. You could post average content, but it happened to get shared out to a group of friends, and it was shared out even more. Tiktok could use this signal to give the content a boost even when it appears average

Posting 3 times per day is enough to get brute force algorithm tests going bcz it goes straight to watch time and comments. Production quality does not equal to watch tym though. some times simple garbage videos workz even better.
 
I think consistency and understanding the algorithm play a big role sometimes average videos perform well because they have better timing strong hooks or higher engagement signals like watch time and comments quality helps but on TikTok knowing what keeps people watching is often more important than having perfect production
 
I think it depends entirely on the content. Honestly, nobody can predict what will go viral. The only certainty is that it has to touch people's emotions and attract their attention.
 
TikTok is the fastest platform for following trends that I’ve ever used. I think the two factors you mentioned are just secondary elements of the formula.
 
It is possible that way because a tiktok acc might post many content but one or two content might go viral and there by bringing many engagement but another acc might just be getting an average views and no viral content.
 
its not about high production or high effort content, its about engagement, relatibitlity, casually said facts, basically being more based.
 
It could be because their posts tapped into trends and made an impression on viewers.
 
The account itself isn't that crucial on TikTok, bro; there are accounts with 5 million followers that still flop because they fail to keep up with trends

The reason is maybe the account holder is consistent to his work and the content might attract people.
 
Sometimes luck can also help a TikTok channel grow very quickly. A few videos getting picked up by the algorithm and trending can make a channel grow at an incredible pace.
 
The video was so polished that it flopped here it looked exactly like an ad, so people just scrolled past it in a heartbeat.
 
Sometimes it is not all about the content quality but consistency, timing , niche , watch time and strong hooks can make average content grow faster other than the much better quality content.

They must be buying followers if their content isn't good.
 
Yeah, quality alone doesn’t decide growth. Timing, hook, watch time, posting consistency, and how well the video fits the audience can matter more.
 
TikTok prioritizes user retention; optimizing the opening 3-second hook and posting consistently will vastly outperform channels that feature elaborate production but suffer from slow pacing or infrequent uploads.
 
quality helps, but consistency and viewer retention usually matter more than polished production. sometimes simple videos win because they feel relatable and get more watch time.
 
They might have already been famous in a certain field and had established brand recognition beforehand. that is one way to gain followers quickly.
