What they did
Create a new TikTok account; watch all the videos in your niche (for them, self-improvement), interact by commenting, saving, sharing and reposting, and follow as many creators as you can. Study why the videos go viral; you may find apps worth copying and improving. This signals to TikTok you're not a bot and prevents shadow bans later.
