Transcript

I promise your content doesn't suck. TikTok might be changing, and I might have new evidence for why a lot of creators are experiencing low views on TikTok right now. For the first time ever, right when I immediately uploaded a video, TikTok sent me a suggestion on how I can improve the video. I have never seen this. I also have noticed that my TikTok uploads are taking significantly longer to upload than they were before. This makes me wonder if TikTok is changing how it tests videos before it sends them to the for you page. Because it's not just me. Here's a creator with 35,000 followers talking about the low views on TikTok. Also, here's a creator with 5 million followers confirming that they're also getting low views on TikTok. And then all of the comments that I have received. Seems like a lot of people are getting low views right now on TikTok. I'm not saying that this proves that TikTok changed the algorithm, but I do think that it definitely means that there has been changes. I'm going to keep documenting what I find and I'll keep you guys posted. Love you!
