Popularity/views

This is really random, and maybe someone who works for TikTok will answer, maybe not.. but I don’t understand TikTok. There’s creators that I follow, and some of them have 50 000 followers, and their videos only get like a few hundred likes, but then there’s another one who only has 30 000 & their videos get over a 1000 likes quite often. And some of the videos they’ve posted have been kind of rude lmao. Why are these creators who have MORE followers getting like barely any likes when they all post the same type of content?
