The difference between viewers and community There’s an important difference between having viewers and having a community. Viewers watch your videos. A community participates, responds, defends, recommends, and returns — not because an algorithm showed them your content, but because they’ve consciously decided to be part of what you’re building.

More data doesn’t mean better decisions TikTok provides a lot of data. Views, likes, comments, shares, saves, followers gained, watch time, traffic sources, follower demographics, and more.
