TikTok's Algorithm: A Creator's Struggle for Consistency In the ever-evolving landscape of social media, content creators constantly grapple with the unpredictable nature of platform algorithms. A recent TikTok video by peaceconnoisseur highlights the frustrations faced by many. Peaceconnoisseur, a US-based creator, recounts how one of their videos unexpectedly soared to millions of views due to a Post Office campaign, while subsequent videos, despite consistent efforts, failed to achieve similar success.
