Audience quality vs follower growth for TikTok accounts targeting niche audiences

One thing I’ve been learning the hard way more followers doesn’t always mean better results.

I was growing a TikTok account slowly, then experimented a bit with focusing on bringing in a more “aligned” audience tried High Social.

What stood out wasn’t growth speed, but how the content started to feel more relevant to the people seeing it. Less random engagement, more meaningful interaction. It kinda reminded me of product-market fit, but for content.

Anyone else experienced something similar?
