My English TikToks are stuck at 1K views while my Croatian ones hit 100K. WHY?

I run 4 TikTok accounts in the same niche (2 Croatian, 2 English), posting different videos on each. My English accounts consistently have better retention, watch time and completion rates, yet struggle to get more than 1K views, while my Croatian accounts have much worse metrics but regularly reach 50K–100K views. Both get 99% of their traffic from FYP. Why does TikTok push my Croatian content so much more than my English content? Has anyone experienced this?

Your Croatian accounts are swimming in a small pond. There's way less Croatian content in that niche, so TikTok keeps pushing yours even with weaker retention. English FYP is the most crowded feed on the app, and 1K is the test batch where you're up against everyone. Good retention isn't enough there; the first second has to win. Open with on-screen text that states the payoff, cut any intro, and go shorter than your Croatian videos. Also check the English accounts' audience countries in analytics. If they're mostly Croatian viewers, TikTok has them pegged to the wrong market.

Maybe it will rise again but it probably won’t be the same.

Receiving a warning strike for commenting about Trump

Can’t remember what I commented on, but I think it was a news page, and I asked “can we talk about how he said he rigged the election?”, and I received my first and only warning strike for violating community guidelines, although they don’t say specifically what I violated… has this happened to anybody else since TikTok came back??

Why quality decrease after video is uploaded

Every videos on my tiktok is blurry. Videos created directly from tiktok as well as uploaded from photos are blur, though the original video seems clear and is high quality. I’ve iphone 15 pro max. Upload high quality option is selected and data saver is off, but still why is the videos being so blurred

I always knew TikTok was dumb, but not THIS dumb.1:16

I always knew TikTok was dumb, but not THIS dumb.

So the video contains a newborn baby and the poster makes jokes about the baby being so new it missed a lot of things. There was this one comment though that says they “pressed log in instead of sign in”. Log in is no different from sign in. They mean the same thing. One comment says they’re the same thing, one person says otherwise and the correct individual gets “ratio’d” by the incorrect by almost five times. The replies were telling him that he was dumb and that he was incorrect. Their ego is so high, but they’re not even right. What is going on?? Did people really think sign in is the same as sign up? Do people even read now? Or are they just illiterate and ignorant. Which is ironic because Banana here, sent a proof saying SIGN IN is the same as log IN. And people thought that it was incorrect because it was AI overview, or even worse. The fact that he used AI instead of giving human made evidence because AI is apparently destroying the world!!! It’s so ironic considering they’re the ONES being ignorant because they didn’t even READ IT. But as William Shakespeare once said, *"The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool."* Thoughts?
