IMO 30 view posts are not healthy and there is probably something wrong if this happened for all recent videos.

Are you using vpn / proxies for this account?

Btw. from my experience almost every account can be recovered, you just have to find the problem that causes TikTok to reduce the reach and fix that.

@jacobrodri_ I mean thats whats money for right?

definitely way better than buying something like an expensive watch.

@jakemor So the classic transaction abandon offer after the user declines the primary paywall offer is allowed even if it’s the same offer but just at a lower price?

@ardent__dev TikTok gives you views for free. With the worst content ever you still get a few hundred views.

@ianncushing true but in his case he probably has great margins bc its all build from his personal brand (I think)

👨🏼‍🌾 Quick update on my phone farm progress and what I learned so that you don't make the same mistakes:

I recently bought 2 more phones to expand my farm and tried using proxies for the first time.

There was no real reason before to use proxies because I'm living in my target country.

I tried it anyway because not using proxies can lead to problems when expanding the farm as TikTok sees a lot of clustered traffic from one network. Furthermore I plan to move to other countries in the near future where I would need to use proxies.

This was my config:
- factory reset IPhone 8s
- no sim cards
- residential or mobile proxies from Decodo (not static tho)
- Shadowrocket to use proxies on the phones
- new icloud or google accounts to log into TikTok

My first mistake was buying Iphone 8s. Main problem there is that IOS version is super outdated which means that some apps just wont be available (TikTok and Shadowrocket work tho)

If I would buy again I'd probably choose Iphone SE 2020. They even support IOS26 and are basically the same price.

At first everything went well, correct fyp, no account bans, first videos got healthy views.

Then on both accounts the following videos got 0 views. I tried delete and reupload but all got 0 views. From my experience this is a clear sign that TikTok detected VPN or has some other problem with the videos.

I am not depended on the proxies so I shut them down. Videos uploaded after that started to get normal views again which for me indicates that TikTok caught my proxy setup.

The reason for this could be because I had to turn the proxies off sometimes while already having TikTok installed or because the proxies were non static.

Even if it did not work out I still learned a lot and will do better if I had to set it up again.

I don't really see that happening right now because I already manage 10+ accounts which is very time consuming. There are way easier options to scale fast.
