That is 5,474 videos from 60 products. Videos are reduced to numbers (flags, revenue, units, views, length, age); no video, caption or creator is stored. Products come from the product pool, which leaves out rows the source flags as price-suspect. Product-level counts use products with 10 or more selling videos in the sample. A video is ad-flagged when the source marks it as an ad; spend is not visible. Pulled 21 October 2026, data to 19 October 2026. Totals are sums over this sample, not all TikTok Shop video sales.",
