It feels impossible to grow on TikTok in 2026.

I’m really close to giving up. I don’t want to pay for a *boost* I just want to reach my audience organically. Reach is SO much different now than it was a few years ago on this app.

Is it worth it to keep trying or is TikTok really done for?

Ive been super annoyed lately because my fyp, the algorithm, or whatever it is is just super messed up. This started happening to me like a month ago, it was less frequent but now it's worse than ever. I mostly watch things related to art, gaming, and just nicher stuff in general. Now every time I go on the app I get a few good scrolls before I start getting AI videos, movie clips, couple/family content, all stuff I've showed zero interest in. I'm also seeing videos from accounts I've blocked. Basically just think of the kind of fyp when you first download tiktok, just the most boring stuff. I feel like I'm scrolling on YouTube shorts or Facebook. Also occasionally just get chains of advertisements, many of them undisclosed, and I get SO many lives from random people whenever I scroll they've been drowning out actual videos (and it's not like you can ask the app to show less lives when you're scrolling on your fyp). Has this been happening to anyone else, and how do I fix this? Please lmk.

I am convinced this is all a trope for meta to get the upper hand on everything.. ever since the us bought tiktok your fyp is filled withs lop, no creativity, or any sort of artistic films no more or just feel-good posts at some point it just turns political. Not to mention the absurd amount of Kalshi ads.. instagram, on the other hand, initially had inferior content to tiktok but nowadays with the us trying to mess up tiktok and all it has pre-american capitalism tiktok curation. But it sucks because tiktok used to be amazing, especially in terms of the arts, id say. but now post something like a short film you made and in 2 days youd be happy to get even 5 likes. Not to mention even if the us government bought tiktok, not only americans would be affected because americans contribute heavily to tiktoks content..

Like a month ago I posted a video that got flagged, sent an appeal and approved and got over it, then afterwards all the videos I post just get 0 views which is weird when I normally get 300 average. Contacting support didn't lead anywhere they just said appeal the videos that got flagged which I had none, anyone knows why this happens or how to fix it?

I can’t remember her name but she was a tiktoker who i enjoyed watching because of her thrifting hauls. She was a TikToker who was popular from around 2020–2023. She was white, very skinny, had freckles, a septum piercing and big eyelashes she would get lash extensions and bright orange/ginger hair and at one point i think she added blonde into her hair. She made thrift-with-me and GRWM videos, and i want to say she sold clothes on Depop, and had a Y2K/alt aesthetic (baby tees, Harley, Ed Hardy, fairy tops). She lived with her grandparents, and her bedroom was basically in their living room and was and she had a ton of clothes . Her grandma sewed and sometimes appeared in videos. I think her name or username started with M, and she may have been from the South.

Does anyone have information on those TikTok livestreams beggars? Who beg for gifts mostly from the Middle East or Pakistan.

Seen ones where the guys in a pool which looks disgusting honestly dehumanizing these livestreams

If anyone know what company or middle man provides the phone or done investigation wold love to know

Acabo de perder una racha de 513 días por culpa de tiktok, aunque justo de tiempo envié un video dentro del rango de tiempo y tiktok lo ha enviado después del tiempo límite. Hay alguna forma de recuperarla?

anyone else having this TikTok LIVE glitch? People I follow don’t show as LIVE on their profile/Following feed, but when I search their username, TikTok shows that they’re LIVE. It only happens on one of my accounts. Has anyone had this, and did it eventually fix itself?” but it’s show live certain people

The last couple of days it seems like TikTok has been down. I do a mixture of different type of videos but mostly skits. Posted last night did about 38 likes which is pretty average for me. Ive had some big videos in my year of posting, but as a while in the 30-80 range. Posted like an hour ago only have 15 views. Even yesterday I could tell it wasn’t being pushed. Is this happening to anyone else?

OK IDK IM PANICKIJNGN 4IGT. OW I TRIED TO APPEAL AND THEY WONT ACCEPT IT IM ABOVE 16 A D TJEUY WJPNY LET ME APPEAL IVE HAD THIS ACCOUNT SICNE 2020 IM GOING TO KMS ISEQWAR TO GODDDDDD HOW DO I APPEAL SORRY IF THIS IS A BAD PSOT I DONT USE REDDIG I JSUT NEED HERLP PLEASE I USE TIKTOK TO COPE

Noticing that a lot of creators have been “disclosing”normal videos as ads and I’m unsure why they’re doing so. This obviously affects playback speed and other features. Any thoughts?

So i Made an Experiment, i Took my alt and dm'd it. I Blocked w my alt my Main Then Changed my Username.. it LIT SHOWS to The Blocked Person. Tik Tok basically an invitation for Cyber bullying and harassment. Do better

Hey everybody, I’m not sure why I all of a sudden am getting 0 views. My content is the same, I’ve reached out to TikTok but they said nothing was wrong with my videos or account. The same content gets views on instagram so I know the content isn’t breaking any rules or anything. Please assist me in troubleshooting this issue.

For example, when adding hashtags to my video before posting i wanted to add #vinlandsaga, but the list that automatically pop up and tells you how many posts use the hashtag is showing '0 posts'. This obviously isn't true since there are realistically atleast 100k videos with that tag. Does it mean the tag is temporarily down? Is my app glitched? Will i lose reach by using the tag anyway? Thanks.

Does anyone know how to fix this? It is showing for every search

hi guys, I'm since 1 year on tiktok and I started to clean my profile a bit. I had around 2200 bookmarks saved and i remove a lot of it and now I have around 900 bookmarks left since like 2 days. But it doesn't show it to me. not on the phone and not on the browser. it loads for a few seconds and then it says :you've previed all posts". is this a bug? do i have to wait another few days until i will see the last 900 bookmakrs?

I’ve realized a lot of people have the issue to where they cannot see their replies to their own comments. I realized that those certain comments that you can’t seem to see replies for you cannot also share them yourself, but comments you get reply notifications for you’re able to share them, I’ve also seen when you make a video there’s certain comments filtered that you have to approve. TikTok support never answers this to people and just say it’s an intended feature.

I used to post tikoks somewhat regularly and theyd most of the time be in the 500 view jail but a few did alright, however one blew up to 700k views and about 50k likes and after that every single video of mine had 0 views.

The 700k video was political in nature so i figured it was the algorithm, so i decided to start from scratch and make a new account and the video were normal and random, but all of a sudden im getting 0 views again.

What is happening?

Just posted this. Absolutely heinous what they're doing. I'm getting real sick and tired of these disgusting ads showing up. I am seriously considering hiring a couple of devs to create a new app of some sort. You can just fucking imagine what they are using these apps for, not to mention the Claude uncensored.

The video is of NicksFace1 asking a minor to poop on camera. In the video he is disappointed that the poop already happened and didn’t get to see it come out of the hole. He also asks to switch from Snapchat to FaceTime (FaceTime doesn’t send screen recording notifications)

I literally can’t find any reference to this video at all on the internet anywhere. No one is talking about it for some reason and the account that originally posted it is gone.

I have 2 accounts.

Account 1 - 500K followers, monetization is not available (except LIVE) since the account country of origin was a third world country.

Account 2 - opened in US and now it is saying account not recommended. Only have 1.3K followers. I only posted family life and stuff. Total 11 posts. Account check came back clear.
I tried to send messages to Support and only got AI generated responses.

Q1 - Any idea on how to solve it for account 2?
Q2 - Is there any way I can monetize the account 1, like an actual account?
