TikTok has a huge problem.
The platform has been dealing with a large influx of fake users and bot accounts.
People set up these fake accounts to impersonate real users and spread spam messages, clickbaits, and phishing links.
To deal with this problem, TikTok is implementing various measures to identify and remove fake accounts and misleading content.
Problem is, in their attempt to get rid of fake accounts, real accounts are caught in the drag net and suffer a great deal of reduced reach and engagement.
So, if you’ve noticed a drop in your reach and engagement, read on because the TikTok algorithm is most likely classifying you as a bot.
Yikes!
While fake accounts were previously easy to spot because they lacked a profile photo and had an empty bio, with AI, it is simple to create a fake photo and populate the bio with AI-generated content.
This has prompted TikTok to employ the Username Classifier, a machine learning technique that identifies naming patterns that are consistent with system generated usernames mostly used by bot APIs.
Your name is more than just a label. It embodies your entire being and the essence of your personality. A name can evoke a sense of strength, elegance, or even quirkiness.
It can reveal your cultural background, your family history, and the values your parents held dear. In some cases, a name can even influence your future, either positively or negatively.
Therefore, choosing a name should never be taken lightly. It can shape your identity and impact the way others perceive you.
Whether you identify with your name or not, it’s important to embrace it as a part of yourself and use it as a tool to showcase your unique personality.
