I hit 5k followers in under 48 hrs and sometimes get more follows in an hour than likes. Is this normal?

I was shadowbanned so you should feel special that tiktok likes you.

Was 100% sure I was going to see an ad like:
"AND THIS IS HOW YOU CAN GET FOLLOWERS TOO JUST....."

What did you post?

It's part of the algorithm to get people hooked. It starts of with a lot of reach, then if you do what they want you keep getting rewarded. If you veer away from what they want they take the carrot away... maybe even start hiding you

Everyone replying to this thread is wrong.Tiktok is stacking likes, meaning they won't show every individual person that likes the video, rather they will say "Jennifer Lawrence and 180 other people liked this video". Don't worry, your not getting such little likes.
