By February 20th, I was done with the platform.</p> <p>Seventeen days. Seven videos produced. Four uploaded. Three silently eaten by moderation. The last few wouldn&rsquo;t even show up after uploading — TikTok said &ldquo;success&rdquo; and then nothing appeared in my posts.</p> <h2 id="the-timeline">The timeline</h2> <p>The first two videos posted fine. Low views, but they existed. Then around video three, uploads started vanishing. No notification, no policy violation, no content review flag. Just silence.</p>
