You go viral ONE time and it’s back to the 200 views jail

This pisses me off so much. I had a video blow up back in December, and it hit 4.4M views, but immediately after I started posting again, it plummeted back down to 200-500 views. Since then, I haven’t been able to even hit 1k. Apparently you can be punished for going viral, and that’s just if TikTok decides to bless you and allow you to be on the FYP.

I don’t understand why it does this. The only other way I can get interactions atp is by paying for them, but I think spending money on a social media account is a little overkill, and I’m not THAT desperate.
