I am stuck at 1 hour dead cycle

Hey everyone,

I’ve been posting on TikTok for 5 days now (totally new), and I’ve noticed a weird pattern—whenever I publish my video, it gets little to no traction after the first hour.

Sometimes, it gets a few views early on, but then it just stops. Is this normal? Does TikTok push content out in waves, or am I doing something wrong?

I’ve tried different posting times, using trending sounds, and even engaging with comments quickly, but it still happens.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips or tools on improving traction?

Thank you 🙏
