I have a picture of my cat, and I selected 500 homes to visit in person to see how good my picture is. depending on how those home visits go, I may select another 500/1000 more homes to see. I will repeat that until
I release the picture to all the homes in my area, if it is popular, I will spread it worldwide into each home. At no time does somebody outside of the house affect my decision to visits the homes I select.
now what the hell has that to do with TikTok? Well, the video is the picture, the fyp page is the homes and the area and world is the TikTok audience. Views in bought in the beginning don't really matter, what matters is the view reat and other stuff the predetermined audience reacts to it. -- so in essence, xternal views really don't work
