    I do think “shadowbanning” is real, more so to the extent of they won’t push your content for a bit while you’re under heavier moderation. I’ve had it a few times where after a strike or two, even if the strike is over turned my videos won’t go public for hours or days in some cases. I’ve even had older loop videos flop with 200% watch time, 150% engagement and they wouldn’t break 150 views, after a strike that was overturned

      Unfortunately Jack was Defo shadowbanned on TikTok and on CZcams too. Look at the views of this video. It really seems like CZcams does not like content pertaining to TikTok at all as a platform especially comparing it to CZcams. This is the third channel I’ve noticed that’s been shadowbanned. Others are Tuv, and Moon, I can’t drop links because this comment will be deleted for spam. Both vids tho, were both talking negatively about TikTok, and were highly edited and optimized for watch time. Thumbnails were on point to and catered to the niche of each channel. No reason they should not have gone viral with Tuv having 1m+ and moon (at the time) having 200k

    I constantly think about that short you posted about how only a few people knew Tic Toc-ers, but CZcams with long-form videos created a greater personal connection with people so more people knew CZcamsrs. It's interesting that so many people use Tic Toc but it won't matter. As long as people keep dancing and lipsyncing and not having any personal connection, people will always have a hard time naming Tic Toc-ers.

  • @SuperMustache555
    @SuperMustache555 Před 2 lety +2

    I think that new accounts tend to pop off more than established accounts on TikTok because the algorithm needs to test them with a wide variety of audiences to see where they fit. In contrast, TikTok serves content from established creators to their established fanbases, and if the content is different, it won't get the same reaction (i.e People that followed for tech content don't want to see interviews).
    On CZcams, ParkerGames was struggling to grow his own channel because his established fans didn't watch him anymore. When he created the channel Craftee, he started uploading really high quality videos from the get-go, and it popped off

    Honestly tiktok feels like it’s dieing already. People tend to spend less time on the app, because quality content just won’t get shown anymore. And well when people spend less time on an app, creators will soon follow.
    Just a thesis but this seems likely. Average session times and app openings seem to have been decreasing too.

    You should do more of commentating video. For example, your best video has to do with you talking about another person. Not your shorts, but your video. And it was about the mr beast commentator. That was super interesting and something that no one would even think about. You should do more videos like that. Talking about other people, either good or bad, either way, you’d get the views merely by your editing. You should do a video on other CZcamsrs or anyone.
