Hi everyone...Recently bought a Pixel 6a and installed Graphene OS, tried multiple Tiktok Apk to post content but everytime I get zero views, Tried using VPN's and without VPN's, zero luck :( Anyone is having the same issue? Is there any chance to solve that?

bunaziua since TikTok's code is proprietary, there's a possibility that they have shadow banned you for some reason. We can only speculate as to how they determine whether to shadow ban an account. Maybe you used a throwaway phone number, or an email alias instead of your real email, or they detected your phone doesn't have Google Play, or they detected your phone is running a non-standard OS. Could be all sorts of reasons.

My suggestion would be to see if you can contact some sort of support team on their end to see if they can offer any support or clarity.

bunaziua have you solved your issue?

mmmm

Maybe you need to up the ante on the type of content you post 😂

I just found out that if I use my 4g mobile internet, I get views) If I use a VPN, like 1 account from 10 is getting views. So the problem is VPN )

There have been other anecdotal reports of this happening:

My assumption is that Tiktok punishes users for protecting themselves from surveillance. They do so by throttling the stats.

Very slimy and dirty of them, but it should not be surprising given the nature of their business model.

Since the user is the product, you become less valuable to them the more anonymous you are. The sale of your data is worth less or worthless.
