someone call the popo

my account has for ages been unable to follow people, and at one point even couldn't like any videos for a long period of time. this has gone on for months and i'm sick of it and have the ick from it. i just made a new account like half an hour ago. i heardie from a little birdie that if you start mass liking videos (forbid i like every video i see and want to spread love) tiktok flags ur account. so, i did not:

~ interact with anything at first that takes me off of the for you page (would make me seem like a bot who was programmed to interact with a specific function)

~ leave my profile blank, i went and customised it (would look like a bot with no sense of swag or self expression otherwise)

~ like any videos on my fyp. (looks like a braindead bot who will like anything)

after about 10 minutes i searched for my favourite singers account, watched a few videos, and hesitated over the like button. it's only one video, where could the harm be? definetly in another country. i liked the video, scrolled away, scrolled back to check, AND THE LIKE WAS UNDONE.

now, has my account been 'flagged' after 30 minutes of birth? that's just not fair, i only liked a video, is that such a hysterical criminal offence? if tiktok wants play this game, how can i compensate? i do not have 4 thousand emails to keep making accounts with. how can i make a new account to escape the curse of the old, only to be cursed again?

who can i consult about this support wise, how can i revert it, and did i do something to trigger this?
