I’ve seen a lot of people running into the frustrating “0 views” problem on TikTok, so I wanted to share a breakdown based on my experience. There are usually three main culprits behind this issue:
✅ 1. Weak or Unedited Content
TikTok pushes content that gets people to engage—likes, comments, shares, saves. Even new accounts can go viral if the video hits the right note.
However, if you're uploading low-effort clips or reposting without changes, TikTok’s algorithm may flag it as spam or low-quality. Always tweak reposted content (trim, add sound, filters, or captions) before uploading. Never just re-upload straight from another source.
Also—review TikTok’s content guidelines. Some topics (e.g., violence, adult content, scams) can get you shadowbanned without warning.
✅ 2. Account Flags or Shadowbans
If your account is brand-new and you start posting or following aggressively, TikTok might flag it. Same goes for accounts that have posted borderline or banned content in the past.
Give new accounts time to "warm up." That means:
Post consistently but not aggressively
Avoid mass following or spamming
Let the account age for a few days
✅ 3. Device-Level Bans
If you’ve had multiple accounts banned on the same phone, TikTok could be flagging your device itself—not just your account.
Here’s what to try:
On iPhone/Android
Reset the device (factory reset recommended)
During setup, choose your target region (e.g., US for US traffic)
Wait 1–2 days before reinstalling TikTok
Download the app, turn on VPN, and register your account
For international creators:
Change phone language + region to your target market
Use a high-quality VPN (avoid free ones)
Reinstall TikTok after region/VPN is set
Register and let the account rest for a few days
Avoid aggressive actions in the first week
If you’re managing multiple accounts, consider using a dedicated anti-detect browser and residential/mobile proxies to isolate your sessions.
Final Tips:
Focus on strong, original content with clear hooks
Use relevant hashtags
Post during trending or high-traffic hours
Don’t overthink the algorithm—just stay consistent and avoid shortcuts
Hope this helps some of you get past the zero-view wall. Let me know if you’ve found other workarounds!
