In my experience, views don't overflow anymore on TikTok. Anyone else?

In the golden age of TikTok, 2019-2022, when I would get a viral hit, views would overflow to all of the videos surrounding it. It would basically create a wave that I could ride out for the next bunch of videos. The quality of those videos didn't matter too much.

Now, when I get a viral hit, that's it. Views don't overflow. So, on the next video, I'm back to square one, trying to break out of 300 views. It makes it WAY harder to be seen. And it makes it WAY harder to have a sustainable TikTok channel. Because of this, and many other reasons, I've moved onto YouTube now.

Has anyone else had this same experience? Did the algorithm change? Or is it my fault? My page did get nuked after I took a two month break from July-August 2023. So, maybe it's my fault. I have almost 400k followers and I can't break out of 300 views btw.

I always assumed it was people who reached a new video through FYP were looking at my profile and finding the videos.

I don’t know how the algorithm would make someone go to your page to view surrounding videos. If the videos surrounding the viral video gets more views, it suggests that users are clicking on your profile and choosing to watch your other content. I don’t think it’s the algorithm on this one. I mean, it could be the algorithm if the algorithm chose a certain amount of videos before and after the viral video to push, but I doubt it. That wouldn’t make sense for the algorithm to push a video that it thinks performed poorly. Does that make sense?
