My video got 500 views in an hour and I think the algorithm made a mistake
I posted a clip of my cat knocking over a plant, nothing special. But it got pushed hard and hit 500 views in 60 minutes. Feels like the system just latched onto the first 3 seconds of movement and ran with it. Has anyone else had a totally random post get boosted for no clear reason?

My friend's video of a ceiling fan wobbling blew up last week. It got thousands of views for no reason anyone could figure out. The algorithm just picks weird stuff sometimes.

Honestly, I feel like your video probably just hit the right combo of watch time and engagement early on. The algorithm isn't that random, it just reacts to what people do.
