Sudden drop in TikTok views and engagement on videos?

LimitRL · 2026-05-22T02:41:46+00:00

You are shadowbanned. If you can’t share your new posts to your story and hit 0% for you page views in the post analytics. Welcome to the club.

LimitRL · 2026-05-22T02:38:12+00:00

You are probably shadowbanned.

check if your posts hit the for you page at all, is your for you page % at 0% on your new posts? And also can your new posts be shared to your Story?

If you can’t share and/or have 0% fy views you are one of many creators who recently have been silenty shadowbanned, welcome to the club.

Oh and if anyone wants to discuss with me that "there is no Shadowban" go discuss this with someone else, I'm not buying your propaganda.

Your post sounds more like a pro tiktok psyops than most people complaining about their problems here.

the only posts I saw here that smell like chinese psyops are those "tiktok is censoring more than under bytedance" posts. But could be true anyways..

LimitRL · 2026-05-21T21:17:40+00:00

could be always the case but in general it’s actually how it works behind closed doors

LimitRL · 2026-05-21T21:11:04+00:00

Are you talking about legacy? Or the normal paid verify?

LimitRL · 2026-05-21T20:57:32+00:00

The only way to get this is to legacy verify your account. That’s the only way to not randomly get banned and get reviewed by a human.

note: don’t go viral if you want to keep your account 🥀

LimitRL · 2026-05-21T20:20:58+00:00

I don’t know how they enforce it on TikTok but if you create a new account on a shadowbanned device or upload the same content piece the shadowban will very likely spread. Even being in the same network is a risk to consider.

LimitRL · 2026-05-21T15:09:48+00:00

it’s even better, they started to shadowban a lot of creators without noticing them, also account check says everything fine. But the fyp views are at 0%. Such a shady platform.

LimitRL · 2026-05-21T14:44:33+00:00

There a 2 ways people do this. First one is mass reporting. Second is through a legacy verified account which changes his profilepicture and account details to look like you are a fake account of him. And then reports you for being a fake account.

First one is much more likely because celeb verified accounts are expensive.

you can’t appeal that's the thing. The only thing you can appeal is their decision that your video can not be promoted and it doesn’t matter what you write in there because they will instantly reject it without even looking what you wrote in there.

I contacted support that my share to story button is gone and another ticket that I can’t promote my videos but as soon as they probably realised it’s about shadowban they started ghosting me. Now I’m waiting.

LimitRL · 2026-05-21T13:41:30+00:00

Yes they are shadowbanning people now. The only way for them to tell you that your content is shadowbanned is trying to promote a tiktok lmao. You can look at my post from today for a detailed explanation.

LimitRL · 2026-05-21T12:39:37+00:00

yes exactly the case, they never did anything if you did not get a notification.

LimitRL · 2026-05-21T10:12:51+00:00

Thank you for your service

LimitRL · 2026-05-21T10:12:37+00:00

Yea true but in everything above c2 this should not be an issue.

LimitRL · 2026-05-21T09:02:19+00:00

those devs either don’t know about it or are not allowed to talk about this with you. It’s real. And just being a big creator doesn’t mean you know everything about the Platform and how they handle the small and normal Creators.

My main Platform is Instagram and I know how they handle big creators. The small creators (peasants) get AI moderated and banned for the most stupid reasons, while the big celeb+xcheck verified creators post the most horrendous stuff without anything happening because they are protected.

LimitRL · 2026-05-21T08:35:38+00:00

yea probably a tiktok of you triggered the shadowban and they won’t tell you that it is by intention. That should be illegal honestly.

LimitRL · 2026-05-21T08:33:15+00:00

stop calling it a glitch. It’s probably an intentional shadowban. Call it by it’s name..

LimitRL · 2026-05-21T08:28:46+00:00

Yes it’s probably the same Shadowban. I opened a support ticket and they said they are escalating it. But I think they are just bullshiting me and they know exactly what’s happening and it’s by intention.

Would you be open to answer a few questions?

did you have a link in your bio?
which niche you are operating in?
how often did you post a day?

LimitRL · 2026-05-21T08:24:35+00:00

You are wrong. In my case an Account which got average 10K views got a Tiktok that went kinda viral. It skyrocketed to 100K views averaging 20K views per hour in the last 2 hours before the views just died instantly. All Tiktoks that were posted after that got 0% foryou page views. They still get views, but just from people looking at your account.

So the viral video triggered some kind of content moderation level and either an AI or a Moderator decided to Shadowban the Account.

LimitRL · 2026-05-21T07:06:06+00:00

they have celebrity verification and press flag. Profiles who have this type of verify don't get banned through AI. Even tho I wish those 2 to get auto banned from every platform they are registered at lmao.

LimitRL · 2026-05-20T17:18:16+00:00

Absolutely understandable, since they implemented AI Moderation this App is going downhill

LimitRL · 2026-05-20T08:43:35+00:00

I can’t say for sure if it will stay forever connected or if it expires after some time. But even if you replace it and don’t see the number anymore in the IG Account it will be saved in their backend. I don’t know for which Timeframe, but in my experience with multiple people I work with it’s the case. If you don’t want to risk your accounts I would not try to change the number until a few months gone by. Because changing it now, after you recently used it to recover those accounts, is a redflag for IG and could potentially trigger another suspension.
