What is share ratio?
A share is different from a like or a comment: when someone shares your video by DM, to a story or by link, they put their own reputation behind it. That is why shares are the strongest viral signal on TikTok and why share ratio is the metric most tied to For You distribution.
The formula, with an example
Share rate = Shares / Views x 100
Example: 5,000 shares on 100,000 views is a 5% share rate, far above the platform average.
