Is It Bad to Post TikToks Back to Back?
So, here’s what happened. I checked my latest two TikTok videos, and both are stuck at just 200-ish views. Honestly, it’s discouraging—like, “should I even keep going?” vibes. I know I need to post more reels to stay relevant, but now I’m second-guessing myself. I think I messed up by posting them too close together—less than 30 minutes apart. Is that why they’re tanking? Maybe it’s some kind of algorithmic punishment for posting back-to-back. Next time, I’m definitely spreading them out. But it got me curious—do other people deal with this too? I hit the internet to find out.
Turns out, I’m not alone. According to discussions on Reddit, posting multiple TikToks back-to-back isn’t a great idea. Apparently, the algorithm might flag it as spammy behavior, which can tank your reach and make it less likely for your videos to hit the For You Page. The consensus? Space out your posts by at least a few hours to give each video a fighting chance. Lesson learned.
How Long Should You Wait Between Posting TikTok Videos?
Digging deeper, most recommendations suggest waiting a few hours between posting TikTok videos. This gives the algorithm enough time to push your first video to viewers before you drop another one into the mix. That said, TikTok’s official advice is to post 1-4 times a day, depending on your schedule and goals. So, the exact wait time? It’s flexible—adjust it based on your content style and how your audience engages. For now, I’m thinking a 3-4 hour gap might be my sweet spot.
What do you think—have you noticed a difference when you space out your posts? Let me know!
