This is the trick you should not use to succeed on TikTok

Succeeding on TikTok is becoming an objective for more and more users of this social network of videos, dubbing and dances. And there are all kinds of tricks for it: from using the right hashtags, to knowing which filters are trending to appear on the walls of more people. However, there are some more or less ethical practices to sneak into the algorithm of other users and make your tiktoks appear to even more people. Of course, with all power comes great responsibility, and it can also take its toll on you.We talked about the fake interactions trick. I'll explain it to you below.

It is very likely that in the last few weeks you have come across different types of TikTok who are looking for interaction with them. In a more or less subtle way. So much so that you may fall into his trap and click the heart button to see what happens, or look for some strange action that tells you what you can do from the share button. Not to mention those that show a secret frame and make you tap multiple times until you inadvertently like it. Well, it's a somewhat dirty trick that doesn't contribute anything to its content but that helps those users to sneak into more walls.

Interactions as a way to succeed

TikTok's algorithm is complex, but quite simple when it comes to ordering things. If you're wondering why other users you don't follow sneak into the For You tab and appear to you, it's not just about fame.There are many elements behind it: the type of content, the number of likes received, whether they are accounts similar to those you already follow, or the hashtags they have used. But also interactions with these contents: liking means having touched the screen and the like button. Sharing it, making duets, reactions, pausing it... elements that show that you have stopped to watch the video or have given it importance. Something that helps TikTok to value this content and show it to more people.

Once this information was known, all that was left was to cheat. And there are many types of them currently on TikTok to trick followers into interacting with the content. The result is videos and channels that go viral even if the content is trivial or worth absolutely nothing. We have discovered this trick on different variables:

• Those who ask for a like: they can be direct messages to the viewer or veiled. For example, showing part of a content in a video and saying that if you hit the heart you will see the rest. It's a lie, you will only like them for their own benefit.
• Those that introduce a hidden frame: They are usually relatively erotic videos. The trick is to make a call to attention during the video that there is a nude photo or some curious content hidden in the video. It will be seen passing quickly, and invites the viewer to pause the video at the key moment by touching the screen. The problem is that it is somewhat difficult and, surely, you will end up doing an involuntary double tap or double click. That's what you're looking for.
• Those who ask you to copy the video link and watch it in the browser: Under the premise that you will discover something exciting, the creators tell you to copy the video link and watch it on the internet browser.The result is that you will see the same video on the web and not in the app. For them it will be one more visit and interaction. Closer to being famous thanks to your innocence.
• Those who tell you to watch their video in slow motion: Show some type of content quickly to build buzz and tell you to play video in slow motion. The only option you have to do this is to click on share and download the video. One more interaction for them. A waste of time for you.

These are just some of the situations you may encounter on TikTok and you should avoid as a viewer They are nothing short of scams that only benefit its creators, and that will make you waste time without any privilege. In fact, you will most likely end up feeling frustrated and unhappy with the creator. And this is the main reason why you should not use these resources on your own account if you want to be successful.

Why you should NOT use this trick

Deceiving viewers, like clickbait, is an effective technique but one that you cannot maintain over time. And it is that, the more you abuse it, the more users will know about it and run away from it. Which means that will end up abandoning your profile and your tiktoks, knowing that they are a hoax. In other words, in the long run you will lose subscribers, likes, interactions, visibility and success. It's counterproductive.

This is a good technique for rapid growth Perhaps useful for the beginning of a profile that wants to grow in number of followers or visibility quickly. The smartest thing to do would be to use this technique once in a while but not abuse it. That it is not the usual tonic in the tiktoks that you publish in the profile. Otherwise you will ruin the viewers experience and not only will they not follow you, but they may choose not to have your content appear on their walls anymore.Which will be an important signal for TikTok to reduce your visibility.

Now that you know this power, you better use it responsibly. On the one hand, as a viewer, you will know that you should avoid any type of interaction with these kinds of videos, which will save you a lot of time and frustration. On the other hand, as a creator, you will know a little better how TikTok works, helping you to get better reproduction numbers and followers. Of course, as long as you do not abuse these practices, which are effective in the short term but counterproductive in the long run. Also, TikTok will likely end up proactively taking action on the matter, which may ban you from getting your videos out to new potential users. And this is something that you surely want to avoid at all costs.
