The Evolution of the For You Page
TikTok's specific algorithm has evolved significantly over the last few years. While user interaction (likes, comments, shares) remains crucial, the system now places heavier emphasis on:
- Watch Time: Percentage of the video watched.
- Completion Rate: Whether users finish the video.
- Rewatch Rate: How many times a user loops the video.
How to Hook Your Audience
The first 3 seconds are critical. Use a strong visual hook or a compelling question to stop the scroll.

actionable Tips
- Post consistently: 3-5 times a day is optimal for new accounts.
- Engage with comments: Reply to early comments to boost engagement signals.
- Use trending sounds: Even at low volume, they categorize your content.
