Honestly, we have all seen some terribly poor quality content go viral , millions of views , while content with great sound good lighting gets zero views , some people believe that social media platforms chooses which creator want to succeed sometimes content is secondary , I personally think that BS , for me it's all about luck , i have seen TikTok videos of a brick literally get millions of views A" BRICK " . some people found out that the algorithm will scan the video for guns and other unwanted stuff , it will hold the video for a couple hours , then ban it , try blurring the gun out and repost , that will solve the problem . so why do tiktok videos stuck at zero views ?, whether you've just created a new count or you already have one , you post a video and hours later nothing happens , it's not taking off , it just sits there with a big fat zero , don't worry this is a common situation it's not only you , so why videos are often stagnant at zero views ? let's begin .
why my videos sit at zero views ? :
1: THE VIDEO IS UNDER REVIEW :
This is new system Tiktok implemented a few years ago , late 2020 it works as a safety measure that Tiktok implements to scan the videos , that a new user ( like you and me ) posts , or videos of creators that have continuously violated the community guidelines of Tiktok more than once , whatever that is , so if you just created a new account , starting from scratch and you started posting it's not expected , that your videos will immediately take off , so don't overthink it , it is just a tiktok standard procedure , some videos will sit a zero views anywhere between 6 to often 24 HOURS , while tiktok is looking at them scanning and analyzing , making sure it's appropriate content ( again whatever that means , half naked girls shaking , and my videos are not appropriate OKAY TikTok ) , before it goes viral to the masses , this review process is allover the place if I'm being honest , it is so random at times , and there is no direct reason why certain profiles are selected to be reviewed and others are not , this will not impact your account in any negative way , you have just done something that goes against Tiktok guidelines and there just been a little bit more scrupulous with you as a new creator , it's a shame that tiktok doesn't straight up TELL you it's under review and why , that would have been helpful .
2: YOUR VIDEOS ARE OF POOR QUALITY :
Like a said in the begining , i have seen tikrok videos of a brick get millions of views , however things like the story , the message , the personality , the values often do transcend the quality of the content you intend to post , in addition what particular device you choose to film with , whether it was mobile , dslr mirrorless camera , that does help a lot , plus the fact of how your content looks , how it is lighted and how it appeals to others , in fact tIKtok did put different resources on their website , talking about proper lighting techniques for photos & videos , that you want to upload to the platform , this is quit similar to the review process , Tiktok AI is constantly analyzing , scraping the visual the audio of your content in an attempt to find anything that could potentially be objectionable , for example if the video is blurry , fuzzy , a little bit cloudy and you can't easily determine a clear subject , it's just all over the place , tiktok will notice and choose not to distribute that video to viewers . and you will be stuck with a useless videos with zero views .
3: DUPLICATED ACROSS MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS :
You post a video and it's already out there across multiple profiles , the platform trying to make a transition to prioritize more original content created especially for the tiktok platform , videos are limited to one profile you can't duplicate them across multiple accounts , if you take a video from one profile and re-upload it to another , will get little to NO traction at all , because it is clearly repurposed content , one thing i do want to clarify , if you choose to repost content on the same profile , that is totally acceptable , it is an allowed feature on tiktok , but in order to keep your feed interesting and varied tiktok recommend you not to duplicate content . and i quote " we also don't recommend duplicated content , content you've already seen before , or any content that's considered spam " so avoid recycling and repeating and try to be original ( between you and me , no one is ) .
4 : USING A BANNED DRVICE TO UPLOAD :
One of the major systems that tiktok have in place is something known as DID BAN for devices , this one is for people who have blatantly and constantly , violated tick tock community guidelines over and over , with no intention on stopping or tuning it down , or for people who had two accounts banned , in a close period of time , A did ban is when your device is permanently limited and filtered from ever uploading content on the platform , it does not matter how many new accounts you create it will NOT fix the problem , but don't worry this one is very very rare to happen , in fact there not many DID ban accounts out there .
5: REPURPOSED COPYRIGHTED CONTENT :
This one mainly applies to people with meme channels , or any sort of compilation based account on the platform , these people re-uploading content that you got from other sources on the internet , such as YouTube , this is something tiktok as a platform has become more scrupulous towards , tiktok has limited what you are able to repurpose , it is not like Instagram unfortunately , this is a very difficult process in general , unless your channel is verified than you can do this no problem , because it's your own content , never just straight take content from another social media platform , always try to add your own touch , re-edit it , add a voiceover , change the music , add filters , put some text or graphics overlaying the video , do something ..... .
here you go Five reasons why your videos have zero views on tiktock , hope this helped in any shape or form , take care .
