Yeah, it does feel like Weibo has tightened things up recently. Reach seems less predictable unless your content really matches current trends or gets quick engagement. A lot of platforms are moving this way, prioritizing relevance and user behavior over just posting consistently.

Yeah, feel stricter lately. Organic reach seems less consistent compared to before. Probably similar to other platforms, more focus on engagement signals now.

Feels like most platforms have tightened reach lately, and Weibo is probably no different. Consistency and engagement seem to matter more now than before.

Yes, friend. Very, very strict. In addition to the strict regional control of social media, Weibo also has a unique monitoring system. Therefore, it is very likely that one's account will be banned or the pictures will be restricted from being viewed due to posting advertisements.

Yes, Weibo's algorithm has become stricter, especially in detecting spam, low-quality content, and artificial engagement.
