I run a decent sized network of faceless TikTok creators and recently launched my own app. My plan was simple: scale it the same way competitors do using anchor links, creator projects, and link in bio.

Problem is… TikTok seems to have changed EVERYTHING 💀

Before:
creators could join projects easily
existing posts could get anchor links added
bio links opened directly into the App Store
videos got approved almost instantly

Now:
creators apparently need 1k followers just to join projects/use anchor links
“link existing post” seems gone
bio links are buried behind extra clicks
every branded video takes like 2 days for TikTok review

That creates so much friction that trends die before videos even go live.

The annoying part is I genuinely think I could outperform my competitors on pure content/engagement alone, but platform restrictions are slowing everything down hard.

I spent weeks talking to TikTok support and researching this but still feel stuck.

Has anyone found workarounds for this stuff?

Maybe:
older accounts?
agency accounts?
TikTok One tricks?
Spark Ads?
better app-store redirect methods?
external landing pages?

Would appreciate literally any advice from people doing app marketing or faceless creator networks 🙏
