You’re probably not shadowbanned, this is usually a packaging + retention issue.

If you want to debug it fast, run a 10-post test with one format:

1) 7-12 sec clips only (gaming clips die if intros are too long)
2) Hook in first 1-2 sec, outcome first, context second
3) On-screen text with a specific promise (“How I won this 1v3 with 8 HP”)
4) Cut every dead frame, no pauses
5) Post 1-2x/day at consistent times for a week

Track just 3 metrics:
– 2-second hold rate
– average watch time
– rewatches/shares

If hold rate is low, fix first frame/hook.
If watch time drops mid-video, tighten pacing and remove setup.
If retention is decent but reach is low, test 3 hook styles on similar clips.

Deleting/reposting usually hurts more now. Better to leave posts up and learn from the pattern.
