The Tiktok search ranking does this for every query. There is no obvious rhyme or reason for the sort. There's a filter button to change how it's sorted, but by default I can never figure out what it's doing.
I search for "retro pc":
1st result 47k views, 4 months ago
2nd result 457k views, 2 years ago
3rd result 9k views, 1 year ago
4th result 133k views, 1 year ago
5th result 1k views, 5 months ago
Make it make sense!
The prominence of the Chinese guy "denying" the cultural genocide was interesting - I wouldn't assume he's a plant (it's equally likely he's just a rabid nationalist) but the placement of the video does strike me as a little odd. It had 300 likes, but rates higher than the second video which had 5000 likes? Does smell a bit.
This is from Singapore, by the way. I assume geography makes a difference.
