Huge drop in views since december 22 on my TikTok account with 50k subscribers.

Hi, I currently have 50k on a French news niche. Since December 22nd, I'm doing 3 to 5 times less views on each video. I went from doing 4 million views on a video with an average of 44% of the video watched, to 10-30k views for 45% of the video watched.

Engagement-wise, it's still starting as well as before. Just the views don't follow at all.

This is the kind of content that takes me 1 to 2 hours to make just 1 video. So obviously I'm starting to get saturated after continuing at the same pace for 2 weeks.

As of today, January 7, 2025, I can tell you that all my colleagues in similar niches are in the same situation. What's more, I have several accounts with the same problem. Whether it's 30 sec or 1 min 30 videos, it makes no difference. I don't have any English-speaking accounts to compare, but I don't think that's what's causing it, since I've already scoured the forums and others are complaining right now too.

So I'm coming to you for the opinion of experienced people who do views. Please don't talk to me about being blocked at minus 300 views or whatever. It has nothing to do with the situation I'm describing.

I'm sure it's a question of timing, but it's already January 7 and nothing is returning to normal. And in the meantime, documentary repost accounts are racking up millions of views. It's absurd! they wanted to get rid of them, and now they're the ones eating for us!
