TikTok Ad System: Creator's Dramatic Follower Loss Sparks Outrage

TikTok Creator's Plea Highlights Platform's Ad System Issues US-based TikTok creator, Raye (@talktoraye), is publicly appealing for help after experiencing a significant drop in views and followers following a TikTok ad campaign. Raye, who has built a substantial following, states that after running ads, "TikTok reduced my views drastically. I used to have over 1000 views, but they reduced it drastically to over 100." She also reported a substantial loss of followers. This isn't an isolated incident; Raye explains that she's contacted TikTok support repeatedly but only receives automated responses. She believes that this issue isn't unique to her, and many other creators have faced similar problems. "I had to go and Google and see if this is actually what they have been doing, and a lot of persons have been complaining that they ran TikTok ads, and after that TikTok started deleting their followers and started limiting their views." Raye's story underscores the concerns of many content creators about the platform's algorithm and the potential risks associated with paid advertising. The incident highlights the need for greater transparency and accountability from TikTok regarding its ad policies and support for creators.
