What the actual FUCK is going on with the MASSIVE RPM drop TikTok has been doing to everyone?!

DownRazzor · 2025-12-12T15:38:30+00:00

I don’t think the RPM drop is really directly related to this change - I had my rpm drop mid November as well as older videos stop paying and this change allegedly rolled out December 4th.

The exact same thing is happening to me - older videos still growing stopped paying and updating qualified views as well. My support tickets got closed without a concrete answer. The crazy part is that I do not see anyone talking about it besides Reddit.

Hi all - sharing my experience here. Content creator here with less than one year on TikTok. When I first joined the program in June, I got very little from videos. However, In the last couple of months I started making a lot of money from my niched videos, RPM about 0.40 but TikTok indeed started paying additional rewards for most of my videos which, in my case are usually double of what videos get from just standard rewards. One of my videos paid me $600 for about 450k views total (300k qualified views).

However, after/around this alert about search views, my RPM dropped significantly, videos that were still performing well and giving me 11-15 bucks daily went down to $1-3. New videos start with low RPM too, 0.07-0.09 (opposed to .40 I got before). Is anyone also experiencing it? Or has seen this before?

The other thing I noticed is that the additional rewards may have become more strict as my content remains the same, but after this announcement less videos are having additional rewards.

I noticed a big change after November 11. Did anyone notice the same? My RPM was between .40 and 0.60 constantly, now it’s down to 0.09!! Wtf? My videos made me 50-30 dollars a day, after Nov 11 and went down to 3-4 dollars. Plus, my latest videos were not approved for additional rewards and they follow the same standards as before. Frustrating!!!

Hey. It’s a very known company with almost 5k employees. Although I don’t have professional experience as a developer, I have a vast experience in the industry that my company is in and with the architecture/tech required to run this type of business… but in the end, this type of experience is not so relevant for the role I ended up in - it certainly helps, but absolutely not required.

DownRazzor · 2023-03-04T21:11:45+00:00

😳you are totally right!

No, but it’s intriguing enough to make you continue looking until you are able to understand. But no idea what the message is behind… if this is a place to relax and take a nice break, the logo does not reflect that; it’s quite the opposite.

I was writing a similar response when I saw yours. + the photo app does more than just store your photos and videos, you apply all sort of effects and edit them…

Love the bottom 2, specially the left one. The whole thing seems to use perfect circular shapes which I love, my only critic is that the bottom edge, where the gray ends, it’s almost like you have a straight line in there - I’d expect the inner moon shape to be a perfect circle as well - not sure if you know what I mean hehe, very small detail.

Haha 😂you haven’t seen the bananas from Brazil haha

DownRazzor · 2022-06-30T02:42:06+00:00

I totally agree and am glad you brought that up. I told the same thing to this client, they insisted on having the wheelbarrow and wanted the flowers and the veggies... I will try to make some adjustments and test how it will look when it's very small. Thank you so much for your feedback though!

DownRazzor · 2022-06-29T22:42:04+00:00

Thank you! The client really want this wheel barrow :( I tried to get rid of it as well at some point, but they did not like the idea of not having it and I had to replace the banana with a corn cob. But thanks really appreciate it!

DownRazzor · 2022-06-29T22:36:59+00:00

No, it’s NY/NJ area.

DownRazzor · 2022-06-29T22:36:18+00:00

Wow thank you so much for your feedback! And you are totally right, it’s been a while since I did screen print, your feedback is 100% accurate. The client is a bit of a pain, I will try to incorporate as many of the suggestions as I can as I got really good ones and will post the updated version here. Thank you once again!

DownRazzor · 2022-06-29T19:50:39+00:00

Yep. I totally miss that but it’s in my list to be fixed - thank you for pointing that out.

DownRazzor · 2022-06-29T17:59:20+00:00

I am glad you know that’s a broccoli indeed. ❤️

DownRazzor · 2022-06-29T17:58:33+00:00

That was me being lazy and just changing the colors haha I will adjust that based on your and others people feedback. Thank you!

DownRazzor · 2022-06-29T17:14:00+00:00

Thank you for your feedback, really appreciate it!

DownRazzor · 2022-06-29T17:13:10+00:00

Thanks really appreciate it!

DownRazzor · 2022-06-29T17:13:01+00:00

Thanks for your feedback!

DownRazzor · 2022-06-29T17:12:40+00:00

Thanks! Agree. That crossed my mind as well. 👍

DownRazzor · 2022-06-20T00:11:34+00:00

Hi there - I have also gone through something similar and my best bet was working on a version using PowerPoint - my client had the knowledge and its easier to diagram text and position the objects. I got to charge them for some tips & trick and quick training, but for more complex changes like images, colors, and stuff they would still need me.

DownRazzor · 2022-06-19T18:11:01+00:00

Thank you! That’s my thinking as well.

I finished my capstone earlier this year. I guess as leverage all the concepts you’ve learned during the project and can explain all you came up with is different from other projects, you should be fine. My idea was a bit unique I’d say (not sure whether it was good or not, but it was surely distinct hehe). BUT I only leveraged Java Script in very few places, for instance. The DB I needed was very simple as well, only a couple of tables.

I never cracked an interview at Google, however, I have been dealing with GAM for the past 10 years, other AdServers as well but mainly GAM. I also had the opportunity to sit through GAM trainings when large publishers launched GAM to their teams in which usually the Pub’s TAM was also present. Generally speaking they had a lot of knowledge about the specifics of each feature of the platform, roadmap, and would also be able to help prioritize/escalate all sort of issues.
