My music video got limited on ads/TikTok etc... due to visuals and maybe lyrics, looking for honest feedback on direction
Hey,
I’ve been making music for a long time, but I haven’t really used social media in years. Back then, things felt a lot less restricted than they are today, so I’m a bit lost with how platforms work now.
I released a new music track with a visual concept built around fast cuts, masks, and strobe-like intensity.
The issue is that I can’t really get it promoted on YouTube, and TikTok also rejects it. Even short cut versions (Reels / Shorts style edits) don’t seem to get accepted or pushed properly.
YouTube and TikTok don’t really explain clearly what the problem is, just vague restrictions, so I genuinely don’t understand what is causing it.
I’m wondering if the issue comes from the visuals (strobe effects, masks, editing style), the lyrics, or both.
The lyrics are in French, but I can provide an English translation if needed.
I’m considering rebuilding a cleaner visual version of the same track, so I’d really appreciate honest feedback on what might be blocking it or making it less “platform-friendly”.
Here’s the video :
