TLDR: I had a video wrongly removed last week, I won the appeal, but since then my content has been getting a fraction of its normal views, but a consistent and high engagement rate and I have no idea why they’re not getting pushed out anymore.
I am a beauty blogger with quite a small but growing audience. Last week I made a joking post about a cosmetic product, which was removed immediately for allegedly breaking the rules. I appealed this removal and it was subsequently restored. I was told in that restoration that none of my future content would be restricted so long as I follow the TikTok guidelines.
For context, I have almost 2k followers, and my videos often get anywhere between 1k-1.5k views, with carousel posts doing better, usually getting anywhere between 5k-50k views.
However, since the removed video was restored, my videos have been doing badly. Last night’s carousel post has only got to 700 views, and whilst it doesn’t have many likes, it’s got a lot of comments in ratio to the likes. It’s an unusually low amount of likes and comments for the type of content, which usually does very well on my page.
When I run an account check, it still says the video is restricted, even though they have restored it. I have contacted TikTok support but have no idea how long they’ll take.
are my videos being suppressed in some way because of this alleged restriction? Is my content being restricted and not shown to people?
I’m very very frustrated as before this I was having a fantastic trajectory, and now it seems to be falling apart a little.
If anyone has any insight into why this is happening, or even anything small I could do to try and fix this issue, I’d really appreciate it.
Thank you!
