Spotlight videos getting zero views? Content not being distributed? Your IP address might be flagged. Get a clean, dedicated US IP and get back in the algorithm.
Fix My Reach - $2/weekYour Spotlight videos went from thousands of views to barely any.
Your content doesn't appear in Spotlight even when friends search for it.
Your public Stories aren't being recommended to non-followers.
Videos that should earn aren't generating any Spotlight revenue.
You're not gaining new subscribers despite consistent posting.
Snapchat never tells you - you just notice the views disappear.
Snapchat assigns trust scores to IP addresses. If you're using an IP associated with spam, bots, or previously banned accounts, your Spotlight submissions start with a massive penalty. The algorithm simply won't distribute them.
Snapchat knows all the IP ranges used by NordVPN, ExpressVPN, and other consumer VPNs. These are heavily used by spammers and fake engagement services, so content from these IPs gets automatically suppressed.
Spotlight only pushes content it trusts. With millions of daily submissions, Snapchat is extremely selective. Low IP trust means your content never even gets tested with real audiences - it's filtered out before distribution.
YourVPN gives you a clean IP that Snapchat's algorithm trusts. Max 100 users per server keeps your IP spotless.

"My Spotlights were dead - like 50 views max. Changed my IP with YourVPN and my next video hit 200k. The algorithm actually shows my stuff now."
"I was posting daily with zero Spotlight traction. Turns out my IP was flagged. New IP, same content, now I'm getting consistent 50k+ views."
"Thought my content just wasn't good enough. Then I changed my IP and boom - viral. It was never the content, it was Snapchat flagging my IP."
A Snapchat shadowban is when Snapchat limits your Spotlight distribution without telling you. Your videos don't get shown in the Spotlight feed, so you get minimal views regardless of content quality. It's a silent penalty based on account trust factors including IP reputation.
The main sign is Spotlight videos getting almost no views (under 100) despite quality content. If your videos used to perform well and suddenly tanked, or new accounts never get traction, you're likely shadowbanned. There's no official way to check - you just notice the dramatic drop in distribution.
Absolutely. Snapchat deals with massive amounts of spam and fake engagement on Spotlight. IP reputation is a primary signal for filtering. If your IP is associated with any suspicious activity - even from other users on a shared VPN - your content gets deprioritized automatically.
A dedicated VPN like YourVPN can significantly help if your current IP is flagged. Consumer VPNs often make things worse because their IPs are heavily flagged. YourVPN's limited user policy (max 100 per server) keeps IPs clean and trusted by Snapchat's systems.
Yes, but Spotlight payments require meeting Snapchat's eligibility requirements and may require identity verification. Using a clean VPN helps your content get distributed (which is necessary for payments), but you'll still need to meet Snapchat's official monetization criteria.
