Has anybody used promote and see their views tank after?

So I tried it, and it was very successful..My view before was also successful. My analytics were about 33% percent liked the video. 18 to 20% finished the video. Before. After was a total dive. After it basically put me in “view jail”. It's also only really showing to my friends list and not my followers. No fyp push. I tried the “hooks” hashtags, and trends. I'm not sure how to get out. Or if my account is just a lost cause? I started a new account to give it a shot, which was honestly worse.

For some context I only recently started posting on tiktok. So I basically just used it to scroll for years. Maybe a video here and there. So Is that working against me?

I know TikTok has had major issues across the board. Especially with fyp, showing old videos, political content, glitches, and so on?

is anyone having any similar issues?
