My tiktok videos were getting 5k-15k views consistently for like 2 months and then suddenly last week they dropped to 300-800 views and i have no idea what happened
i didn't change my content style, i'm still using trending sounds, my engagement rate is still good on the videos that do get views. but it's like tiktok just stopped showing my content to people
Is this a shadowban? did the algorithm change? Has this happened to anyone else?
Why are my TikTok views suddenly so low?
Re: Why are my TikTok views suddenly so low?
Views dropping suddenly is super common and usually not a shadowban. tiktok's algorithm is just way more volatile than youtube or instagram
here's what to check:
- go to settings > report a problem > search "shadowban" and submit a request asking if your account is limited. they'll actually tell you if you're shadowbanned
- check your video analytics. is your "for you page" percentage lower than before? if so your content isn't resonating with new audiences
- look at your average watch time. if it dropped below 50% that's probably why your reach decreased
also 5k-15k views is good but it's not like you're a huge account. at that level your views will fluctuate a lot based on how well each individual video performs
sometimes you just need to post through it. i've had weeks where my views tanked and i kept posting anyway and eventually one video would do well and bring my reach back up
don't overthink it. just keep posting and try to improve your hooks and watch time

Re: Why are my TikTok views suddenly so low?
This happened to me in August and i thought I was shadowbanned but i wasn't. tiktok just randomly decides to stop pushing your content sometimes
couple things that could be happening:
1. tiktok is testing your content with a different audience and they're not responding as well
2. your recent videos have lower completion rates than your previous ones
3. you got reported for something (even if you didn't violate anything, false reports can tank your reach temporarily)
4. tiktok is just being tiktok and the algorithm is unpredictable
What worked for me was completely switching up my content style for a week. posted different types of videos, used different sounds, tried different hooks. one of those videos performed well and then my reach came back
Don't keep posting the same type of content hoping it'll get better. tiktok wants variety and if your current style isn't working you need to try something new
also check if you can go live. if you can't go live you're probably shadowbanned. if you can go live then you're just in a slump
