What’s the closest you’ve come to quitting TikTok?

For some people it’s getting stuck at the same view count for months. Others get tired of constantly thinking about what to post, dealing with random drops in reach, or watching a video they worked hard on disappear into the void.

What made you want to quit, and what kept you posting?

New account 0 views right off the bat? Shadowbanned?

I had 2 account doing stock investment advice, 1 account I got shadow banned because I uploaded AI picture without putting the AI alert, immediately 0 views dead channel.

Just started a new account, using my face this time with picture overlays and got 113 views first video. Now straight 0 views on 3 videos.

Is shadow banned a thing? Does tiktok realize i have 3 other accounts?

Should I just keep uploading? I uploaded the 4 videos within 30 mins

Is my niche - stock investment a risky topic to do? I see other tiktokers doing tiktok videos on stocks etc.

Disqualified content

I am close to having five videos disqualified and the appeals denied, meaning I am soon going to be kicked out of the Creator Rewards Program. The reason they give me is "unoriginal", and in the support ticket replies, they are implying I am using others' content. I film all my videos myself, and I am the only person in them. I use the built-in editor and hit record.

Last month, my content really started getting decent views, and my follower base grew (to 50K last month, already 54K as of today), and I made $500 in July. It could have been more, but on 7/18 they dropped my RPM to $0.00. That is another issue for another day.

The only other thing that has happened is that two impersonator accounts popped up (followers told me), and I reported them, only to get a reply that my report was denied.

My content is lip-syncing to songs, but in the style of friends/roommates having a conversation to the lyrics. One typically lip-syncs while the other reacts. The singer has a hat on, no glasses; the reactor has no hat, with glasses on. I consider it "musical comedy" for lack of a better term. My account name is in my profile.

So, I guess my point in posting is to ask if anyone else has experienced this, have you been kicked out, reinstated, or just kept on going without being in the program?

Comments less restricted recently

wanted to know if anyone else noticed tiktok comments are so much more vulgar recently. i used to get an immediate removal and guidelines strike for calling someone stupid. now im seeing people say whatever the heck they want and it stays. tested it today, no removal on "youre stupid and ugly" (i used my burner account to comment on my own post) no guidelines violation no nothing. did they change the rules or something?

Tiktok Advice

So my recent post is doing alot better than my previous organic post which got in around 238 views where my current one got around 4.4k ( hope it continues to rise )this ss is around 1 hour later , ive used tiktok promotion for my vid before this current one (after my first organic post) and they managed to rack in a total of 57k views on that video and was wondering if the tiktok promotion had anything to do with the current views im getting. The engangement stats for my current video ( 4.4k) is 59hrs watchtime, 49secs average watchime and 10.3 percent watched the full video(1 hour ago ) so im wondering if i should promote this video since i think the organic stats are decent and i would be able to push out my video to more people but im worried it will ruin the engagement stats. These engagement stats are the highest i ever gotten, the video in which i promoted only got a 11s watch time and 0 percent full video watched while my other organic post had around 238 views, 4 second watchtime and 1.5 percent full vid watched

Has anyone figured out what the “Voted ‘yumleaks on X 🍑’” labels under TikTok comments actually are?

TLDR: I’m seeing TikTok comments from unrelated accounts with the same weird gray “Voted ‘yumleaks on X 🍑***’”*** label underneath them, including on videos that have no poll. I’m trying to figure out what the label actually means, how these accounts are generating it, and whether it’s being exploited as some kind of coordinated spam tactic

I’ve added screen shots

—————-

I’ve been seeing something really strange in TikTok comment sections lately and I’m trying to figure out what is actually happening.

Under seemingly normal comments, TikTok is displaying a gray label that says: “Voted ‘yumleaks on X 🍑’”

The comments themselves are usually incredibly generic things like 🔥🔥🔥 or “omg she is so cute 🥺” and I’ve seen multiple unrelated accounts with the exact same “Voted” label underneath them.

What initially caught my attention was seeing a bunch of these underneath viral videos from a creator who openly says she’s 16. I thought the wording “yumleaks” + 🍑 was pretty disturbing in that context.

Then it got weirder.

I have a TikTok account for my cats/kitten, and I found the same type of comments underneath one particular video of her. The video is literally just my kitten remembering that she gives me a kiss before going to sleep. I haven’t noticed these labels on my other videos.

I understand that TikTok has/had voting or polling features, but there is no “yumleaks” poll on my video, obviously. Clicking the gray label also seems to do nothing.

So I’m trying to understand the actual mechanism here:
Are these accounts interacting with some separate poll called “yumleaks on X 🍑” and TikTok is somehow displaying that voting activity underneath comments they leave elsewhere?

Is this some kind of spam technique where the “Voted” label is being exploited to advertise a search phrase?

And has anyone figured out why these accounts seem to be appearing in certain comment sections?

I’ve seen other people on Reddit mention the exact same phrase, so apparently I’m not the only person seeing it.
To be clear: I’m not claiming the creators whose videos these appear under are involved in anything. I’m trying to understand what the accounts leaving these comments are doing and what TikTok’s “Voted” label actually represents.

Policy training

What actually is the policy training thing? I’m onto my second strike and this sounds dramatic but if I get banned I genuinely don’t know what I’ll do. I don’t really know what to do because the reasons for the strikes are extremely stupid, one of my videos got removed after it’s been posted for 2 years without issue. I’ve tried appealing it but apparently it violates guidelines still so I was wondering if the policy training actually helps or if I’ll just have to wait the 90 days for it to go away?

Isn't it weird that TikTok lets people buy views?

I find it kind of strange that you can pay to push up the view count on a video. Seeing a video with thousands of views doesn't feel the same when you know some of those views could have been paid for.

Do you think this makes TikTok views less meaningful, or is it just another form of promotion?
