Can someone explain this sudden drastic drop in views?

I am posting some random videos on Tiktok just for fun, so this one goes viral, 500k views in two days and suddenly today only 4k views?

How's that even possible?

The algorithm doesn’t push videos forever lol

This is normal. You'll get the most amount of views on your video in the first 48hrs then it will drop off once the algorithm detects that the vid is starting to get low engagement.

Whats crazy is those stats are solid and all, but I've had tons of videos over 100% watch average with amazing like/view ratio, and stellar engagement in the comments that didnt get to go viral at all 🫤

2 Days is normal push no matter how well the video does.

Thats normal. Ive had things go from 2 million on day 1, 2 million on day 2, to then 2 thousand on day 3 - a 1000 fold drop.

On the other end of the scale things that were at 10k on day 1 be at 2 million per day after multiple days, despite appearing to have stagnated.

Isn't it common knowledge that this is TikToks addiction tactic, to make you feel l like everyone loves you and drop out the algo on you? Don't you remember the investigations into how toxic it is (in the western world). The popularity want real it was manipulated. Its someones else's turn to be gaslit.

The algo has been having issues since yesterday. I was getting 800 views a day and have only gotten 100-200 today and yesterday. >.> It's broken again.

At the same time, my larger account stopped counting followers again, just like it has every single time the algo has crashed. >.> When will this nonsense end?!
