Finally fixed my TikTok shadowban after 3 months - here's what actually worked
PSA: Your VPN might be why you're getting shadowbanned
Why shared VPN IPs are killing your reach on TikTok/Instagram
Post Body
Copy this and paste into Reddit:
Been a creator for 2 years and couldn't figure out why my reach tanked.
Turns out most VPNs use shared IPs that thousands of people use - including spammers. TikTok and Instagram flag these IPs and throttle everyone on them.
What fixed it for me:
- Switched to a VPN with dedicated (not shared) US IPs
- Made sure the server wasn't overcrowded
- Stuck with the same IP instead of rotating
My views went from 500 → 5k average within a week.
If anyone wants to know the specific service I use, happy to share in comments (don't want this to seem like an ad).
Anyone else dealt with this?

Only post this when someone asks what VPN you use:
I use YourVPN - it's $2/week and they cap servers at 100 users max. Not affiliated, just worked for me. yourvpn.ai
