i've been observing tiktok algo cuz yeah the views are sht.
- your videos are first shown to your friends and followers. and if no one stays or watches for more than 2 seconds, most likely your video wont be pushed to fyp.
- tiktok will conduct a small group of test pools near your area or country location. if no one is interested with your content. it wont be pushed to fyp. it will stays to 200 views.
- if you use a hashtag, you really need to be specific. fyp and other broad hashtags wont help cuz it maybe shown to other uninterested people. but still depends on your content.
- you really need to have a hook on your video. like from the first 2 seconds, you need to make it very interesting. your goal is to make people finish your video.
- if you have previous violation even if you resolved it, tiktok is not that forgivable and still most likely will shadowban you.
i swear, tiktok 2026 is too stressful. but i hope we all got the views and engagement we deserved! just fighting everyone!
