So, actually you really get more views. They change depending on how the content performs. I got over 400 extra views on some videos and 2300+ on others. The best part is that, as you can see with “Create more,” TikTok pushes you to post more videos, and those get boosted too.
This TikTok feature is probably one of the most underrated. If you post rarely or your recent videos get low views, TikTok gives you a chance to create videos that are boosted by the algorithm, similar to the early boost on your first posts.
Now TikTok allows max 7 hashtags, and being specific helps get more views, but funny thing: on older phones with outdated OS, you can still add unlimited hashtags, probably because the change is client side. So don’t update unless needed.

Crazy how TikTok with every update is letting users personalize their FYP more and more. Now users can even block viral songs, trends, all hashtags, or mark content as promotional, even if it’s not part of an ad, with a simple tap. All of this obviously impacts videos.

The reason why I don’t use and have always told everyone not to use scheduling tools for TikTok is exactly this. It might sound crazy, but TikTok shadowbans your content, and it doesn’t just happen with third party apps, it even happens with TikTok Studio itself.
i agree, please listen thinking about removing the scheduling on reelfarm, as more often than not your posts will not hit the fyp via the API doesn't matter what scheduling tool you use, tiktok's api will more likely than not push your video to the algo (posting via api will…
Millionaires and billionaires use TikTok and don’t see it as a waste of time. So how do they train the algorithm to work for them? The algorithm is only as good or bad as you train it to be. It’s a reflection of who you are. And that’s exactly what wealthy people do, they make…
If you ever see your videos on TikTok getting flagged for election, civic, dangerous activity warnings, not being eligible, etc., 99% of the time it’s not your content. It’s just the bot drunk and the moderation system trash, especially if your account is still new. It usually…

Small update on this. This month we made 121,789.68 CNY (around $17,000) thanks to @abdullaababakre, who suggested we use WeChat both for hosting the app, since it basically works as its own operating system, and for payments, making it easier for Chinese users to buy digital…
