Did anyone recover from 0-view jail?

Nope I didn’t

Nope

Nope. New account

TikTok has been super off and on since the US handover. Around 5-15-2026 I was getting really good engagement for my size on clips, then about a 6 ish days ago something changed again. It's interesting because this is also happening to you and you're far larger than me.

It's easy to get superstitious about it, but honestly I'm starting to think they keep kinking the views hose somehow. If you have a massive TikTok following, I think the US takeover heavily benefits you because your stuff gets shoved in front of that built in audience a lot more. But if you're smaller or just trying to get eyes on your videos at all it's extremely random.

I started Instagram a few weeks ago and it's outperforming TikTok in a lot of cases, with just repurposing the same clips. TikTok also has this thing where your video can be discovered a lot later now, people find random clips weeks after I post them. I've also had luck with: unlisting a 0 view clip and then reuploading it. This typically makes it perform better.

YouTube shorts demolishes both (for me) and is almost always consistent. I still don't have quite enough data, but for example my TikTok post yesterday got 3 likes 200 views and my Instagram post got 29 likes, 1 share, 1700 views.

Basically, I'm very inclined to believe you're not doing anything wrong. If a video gets absolutely 0 views something is very wrong on the TikTok side of things.
