It started with a login error. Then came the email change notification. Before I could react, my TikTok account was gone. No password reset link. No recovery email. Just a void. And TikTok’s support? Practically nonexistent. Like a lot of creators, I was locked out for days, with thousands of followers, monetized videos, and access…
Every creator hits it eventually. You’re posting consistently. Your content hasn’t changed. But your views? Flatlined. No reach, no discovery, no growth. Welcome to TikTok’s low views jail—a frustrating limbo where even good content goes nowhere. I’ve been there. And after testing what worked (and what absolutely didn’t), I pulled my account back into the…
You spend hours editing. You film original content. The video performs. You expect a payout. Then comes the notification: “Disqualified from the Creator Rewards Program due to low quality or unoriginal content.”You appeal.It’s denied—within minutes. No explanation. No second chance. This is happening to creators who’ve never reposted a thing. Creators with tens of thousands…
You put hours into editing. The video takes off. Views are climbing, engagement is strong… and then you get hit with this: “Your video has been disqualified from monetization due to low quality or unoriginal content.” It’s frustrating. Especially when you know you didn’t just repost someone else’s clip. You made this. It was yours….
You post a video. It gets flagged, removed, or shoved into the void with 8 views and no explanation. Was it the caption? The dancing? That one random word? You appeal—and lose.

Creators are reporting violations for words like “Free Palestine,” “Free Luigi,” “inauguration,” “dolt,” “racist,” and even everyday teasing in comments between friends. At the same time, blatantly…
If you’re grinding your way toward the Creator Rewards Program and stuck in what feels like follower jail, you’re not alone. You post. You comment. You follow back. You tweak your content. And still… crickets. Meanwhile, others are breezing past 10K like it’s nothing—or so it seems. Whether you’re posting gaming clips, travel vlogs, or…
You post a video, set it to private, and forget about it. Then one day, you check your account and find a bunch of those private videos marked as “under review.” They’re not offensive. They weren’t reported. Nobody else can even see them. Still, the label’s there—and now your heart is racing because TikTok moderation…
Getting hit with a strike for using a clown emoji? Being afraid to go live because someone might say something that gets you banned? Yeah, I’ve seen it too—and it’s exhausting. What used to feel like a creative free-for-all now feels more like a digital landmine field, where one mildly sarcastic comment can cost you…
One day you’re getting solid engagement, the next day your TikToks are doing worse than a school play on a Monday morning. Sound familiar? Yeah, I’ve been there too.
