No it for sure is. I honestly couldn’t tell you. However, if someone who is a new “creator”, trying to learn. Having my stuff get nerfed by 200 view jail, promote and the great shadow ban. Doesn’t help me learn anything to improve. As much as people rely on hooks, niche or whatever else. If it’s being not shown to anyone with those interest then does it even matter? If the for you page gets a new algorithm reset every two months yet again does it really matter?
Even if I have good retention or 30% of likes views, my videos still get distribution from 200 to 400. And somehow never goes above that. Also, after a day or two, I don’t get any distribution it just immediately flat lines. Not any likes here or there. None of the views go up on it after that. Which was normal to have a subtle drop off. Now it’s dead in the water. So I don’t think it coincidental if it’s hundreds and thousands of people having the same issues since January and rapidly getting worse. Now the low views are like a once a month thing for two weeks and then we have another good two weeks and then they fvck up the algorithm again.
And it’s not even just us normal folks. People who have been established on TikTok with extremely large following for a long time are also getting nerfed. Not everybody’s content sucks. So purely it is a TikTok problem at this point. And it’s so discouraging.
