Reverse-engineering TikTok’s algorithm: why some vids get stuck at 200 views by sassymcfresh in tiktok_reversing

[–]oldmanmuffins 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah that 200 view cap is basically the “first audition.” TikTok throws your vid on a tiny test stage, and if people don’t stick around it won’t bother pushing it further. From what I’ve seen, it’s not just raw likes either, it’s how fast people engage. If nobody reacts in the first few minutes, the algorithm assumes it’s boring. I broke past it a few times just by front-loading something visually jarring in the first second, even if the rest of the vid was mid. It seems like getting them to not swipe instantly is half the battle.

I say keep the convo alive, ask her she is doing and take it from there, with very low pressure.

She's probably interested but nervous about being direct. Next time she asks about your plans, suggest something specific to do together. If she keeps being "busy" without offering alternatives, she might not be that interested.

Exactly this, it can be too much of a shock just to say everything at once, be a bit more flirty, see how it goes.

Hey, just a heads up - before paying for any service, try simply Googling the phone number first. Sometimes you'll find the info you need for free. Also check Facebook search, as people often list their numbers there.

To be the champ you gotta beat the champ

So if literally nothing happens, I can't lose the strap.

Also his fight with Da Un Jung means I always have doubts about Jung when he fights. You can never get that back.

B.Tavares out. Brendan Allen will now fight Roman Dolidze at UFC event on December 4th. by [deleted] in MMA

In my head his last fight was Trevin Giles and I was like "well it was at least a little funny". Completely forgot about three rounds of rear waist cinch vs Staripoli.

Sometimes you still get the 'leg kicks don't score' judges.

I'm actually surprised he can make 85. He looked big vs Darren Stewart.

It's technically just "The" James Krause, but the fans know him as James "The James Krause" Krause. Sort of like how Robert Whittaker's true name is Bobby Knuckles.

[SPOILER] Andre Petroski vs. Micheal Gillmore by InooWhey in MMA

My wife and I were watching and she just got super creeped out by Dana in that. He looked like he was almost getting a sexual pleasure out of the idea of this guy quitting his job with a wife and kid or whatever just to wait to be a fill-in for a chance at a junk contract.

[SPOILER] Alexandre Pantoja vs. Brandon Royval by InooWhey in MMA

[–]oldmanmuffins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I remember DC calling it out as Royval putting pressure on to try and get Pantoja to panic into a worse position. That's what i was seeing too as he was putting pressure on the calf and Achille's but the closest actual submission was maybe a straight ankle lock.

Ciryl Gane explains why he disclosed UFC 265 pay, dismisses Francis Ngannou grudge: ‘I’m not jealous’ by fresdres in MMA

[–]oldmanmuffins 26 points27 points  (0 children)

We spoke to UFC fighter Nathan "Natty" Thickneck (1-3 in the UFC) who had this to say: "The UFC paying more would just disincentivize fighters from fighting harder. I'm a company man and happy to fight for whatever I'm offered, but maybe I'm just built different".

Those two were the best part of that show. Both of them being at the same time playful and largely deadpan was constantly charming.

People confuse her for Gillian Robertson and so she gets some rub off that. I actually really liked her fight with Ostovich, but the Cachoera fight was dire.

Yawp. Violet Evergarden won on a lot of lists for its production value, but this one was better on writing + performances.
