## How do I fix a dead on arrival post where TikTok stops pushing content?

Level: EXPERT

Check whether the post or account has an eligibility notice, then inspect the audience promise and early response. Low initial reach alone does not identify a specific ranking failure.

## How it really works
Distribution and recommendation eligibility are separate questions. Reposting the same file or changing metadata does not guarantee another chance.

## Worked example (illustrative, not a verified case)
If a post carries an eligibility notice, follow the platform’s review process. If it does not, compare viewer response with similar posts before choosing a creative change.
