TikTok honestly feels like a humiliation ritual anymore.

I know a lot of people are having view issues across the board. I heard if you post many times a day you get limited. Or shadow band. Have multiple accounts? Shadow band? Some videos will randomly get 1500 views but 27 likes. I will have 100 views and get 30 likes. (most of the time since May under 200) Most of anything I make will get quite a few likes for the first minute. Then it just dies all of a sudden. Or it just sits there for hours and does not move. And I don’t have retention issues. My account is in good standing. I’m not sure what’s going on. It's just frustrating. My fyp feed is horrible personally.

So far.. say if you post three videos in a day. The first two will stop getting distribution and the third one will be fine. Which is weird, but it has been a common occurrence. What is the point of posting? If I'm being limited or the fyp is so messed up, likely, it’s not even being shown to people who want to see it. For the last three months. (Being real here since January.) Every time this app is updated it has gotten awful, It feels humiliating and Discouraging.

I have also seen people report issues. Multiple. And they’re not getting anything back from TikTok support or they get some B.S. answer. In this subreddit alone, it’s almost daily posts about not being able to sign in, low views, no views, no inbox notifications, spam, increased AI, just ads, only viral videos, etc. I could keep going. Regardless it’s a lot of people. And it is disheartening.

I know it’s not just me. And if you're going through it too. It’s not just you. I don’t think there’s anything we can do to fix it.
