This is bs. I work in Paid Media (Ads). Focused View on TikTok means user has watched at least 6s, or interact with the Ad. This is TikTok's version of YouTube TrueView, which counts a View as watching 30s or interacting with the Ad. The part about "emotions" is how the advertiser is supposed to generated more focused views: by creating ads that are emotionally appealing, the users chooses to watch longer, not TikTok.
