Deep engagement prioritized over likes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>TikTok will increasingly place more value on meaningful interactions such as replays, written comments and saved videos.<\/p>\n<p>Likes will still matter, but deeper engagement will carry more weight in the algorithm\u2019s evaluation of video quality.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, create content that encourages comments, questions and shares rather than just quick likes.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Watch_time_measured_more_precisely\"><\/span>2. Watch time measured more precisely<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The algorithm will analyze how long users watch your videos in greater detail, not just whether they are watched to completion.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nfczi2cI6Cs\">The Wall Street Journal<\/a> examined this a few years ago, and it confirmed that TikTok\u2019s algorithm is influenced by the amount of time spent on specific videos.<\/p>\n<p>Different checkpoints in the video, for example at 3, 10 and 20 seconds, will help determine how engaging the video is, and videos with high retention will be prioritized.<\/p>\n<p>Start with a strong visual hook and create content that keeps viewers engaged throughout the entire video.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Original_content_is_rewarded\"><\/span>3. Original content is rewarded<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>TikTok will devalue reused or reposted videos.<\/p>\n<p>Original, platform specific content will receive higher priority, especially if it aligns with trends and current sounds.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_AI_and_semantic_understanding\"><\/span>4. AI and semantic understanding<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The algorithm is becoming better at understanding content context through AI analysis of text, audio and video.<\/p>\n<p>This means hashtags will become less critical, as the algorithm can assess a video\u2019s relevance on its own.<\/p>\n<p>A good approach is to use captions and descriptions that clearly explain the content so the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mickyweis.com\/en\/ai-course\/\">AI<\/a> can match it with relevant users.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Real_time_trend_detection\"><\/span>5.
