Unoriginal, low-quality and QR code content in almost every video - Is there a working method to avoid this?

I’m getting frustrated, because since I started posting on TikTok, I’m getting a maximum of 300-400 views on each video.
In 95% of cases, I get the message ‘Your video is not eligible for recommendation in the For You feed.’ The reason given is ‘Unoriginal, low-quality and QR code content.’

I assume they’re referring to the unoriginality of my video because I repost it from other platforms, but I edit it a lot — I change everything, trim the video, adjust the length, add transitions, text, animations, change colors, brightness, contrast, apply filters, and so on.
I think I’ve done everything, but TikTok seems to be targeting me and I might have received a shadowban.

According to them, unoriginal content is content that is simply imported or copied from other sources without any new, creative edits. That’s not what I’m doing.
Just yesterday, I saw an account that directly reposts videos from Instagram Reels without any editing and it gets hundreds of thousands of views. How is that possible?

There are a lot of tips and methods on this forum to fix this issue and I’ve tried implementing them, but without success. Maybe these methods are patched because TikTok keeps changing.
I’m sure there are people here who’ve managed to deal with this, so if anyone has advice, please share some tips on how to post tiktoks to avoid this.

It seems like they have your account on their radar due to the first penalty.
Have you tried to upload a 100% original video to see what happens?

Yes, I recorded directly from the tiktok app and then everything is fine - then I don't get this notification.
But since I don't want to record my face, I recorded random things and because of that I had low engagement and viewer retention, which also caused it to stop at 300-400 views.

Well, as I mentioned before, your account is already on their radar.

I guess you have two options now: try editing those reposted videos in different ways to see if TikTok "accepts" them, or open a new, clean account (but keep in mind that they may have already fingerprinted your device).

By the looks of it, you focused so much on the originally aspect that you destroyed the video quality and made it hard for users to watch, so it counts as low quality.

what kind of videos you reposting?

Every type of video that has been trending on Instagram lately in my language.
The best thing is that I found a profile that reposts similar reels from instagram.

I often repost them the same way before or change them in different ways and I always had a maximum of 300 views. On the other hand, that profile has a minimum of 1000 views on each video, usually 10k, 50k, 100k and sometimes over 300k.

How is it possible that he adds them to tiktok without any changes and gets out of jail 300 views?
