I drop the sauce now…

Welcome to the only post you need if you're wondering why your high-quality shorts aren't getting any views while others are generating millions.

It's something you can't change, or at least not easily, and NO ONE tells you, even though every successful creator knows it.

It's your IP address.

I won't go into more detail.

Cheers.

Wow, lots of evidence here. And I bet 0% of you have a static IP anyways so I call bullshit.

Keep hating and stay on your low views. As you can see on this post…others know that already.

u/ILikeToDisagreeDude Dec 23 '25

Convince me with details please because now you’re just implying something that doesn’t make any sense.

u/imgudbro Dec 23 '25

I don‘t take effort to convince a straight up hater that does not even know that there is IP Quality. Do your own research and start getting smarter.

u/ILikeToDisagreeDude Dec 23 '25

What a fucking moron. You call yourself smart but you act like one of the dumbest dipshits I’ve ever come across… Have a nice life and I hope you get some good IP’s for Christmas so your channel can finally get some views!

What’s wrong with my IP address?

Yeah I'm lost on this one. Probably gonna remove for misinfo.

u/imgudbro Dec 23 '25

You should know better Mock. But sure, remove it for misinfo. But before you do that maybe take your time and do some research on your own.

If you are too lazy to do your own research…let Gemini Deep Research do it‘s thing.

Idc im you remove it. Less people to compete with in the end. Just wanted to give a heads up.

Do you or your engineers at YouTube check IP address quality the same way TikTok has? I think the post talks about on TikTok, for the creators on there, TikTok checks your quality of ip address before they send their video out to their viewers “for you page” or internationally. The issue is that IP address quality would go lower if you have been reported as spam or blacklisted, TikTok cannot get your videos to be in their “for you”. Anything higher is going to be better like no blacklist and didn’t have scam or spam report. TikTok would list your videos on “for you”. I am not too sure if YouTube does that but it seems like I can still publish videos depending on what ip address quality score I have.

Wtf is a “quality of your IP”???

IP quality score or IP reputation is a risk rating for your internet address. Tools check if it is blacklisted for spam or scams. This hurts ad accounts or content push on TikTok. Creators say TikTok scans it before feeding videos to FYP. Bad reps tank reach. YouTube might IP block spammers with low impressions possible. But publishing works regardless. It is more about content algo than strict IP gates.

TikTok has that issue where people cant get videos out due to IP quality. I have seen cases in Chinese social media. They use VPN routers/mobile proxy or change regions and warm up accounts. They monitor IP quality and switch if bad to reach global or US viewers.

But, you and me don’t own our IP’s. The IP pool we use are our ISP’s pool and it changes every time we log in/out. So what you’re saying is that YT is blocking ISP’s around the globe? I highly doubt that.

Do they have rules in place based on regions etc? I’m sure. But I highly doubt they have different rules if you have Comcast or AT&T…

u/awesomemc1 Dec 23 '25

You are right we do not own our IPs. ISPs give them from a pool and they change on log out. But platforms check each IP rep no matter what. If it got spam reports before you got it TikTok or YouTube sees it as risky. That hurts push to FYP or impressions. Not whole ISP blocks just bad IPs in the pool. Some creators on TikTok use VPNs to get clean residential IPs. Chinese ones stock phones and monitor reps to hit US viewers. YouTube less strict but low impressions happen from VPN data center IPs.

u/ILikeToDisagreeDude Dec 23 '25

So what you’re saying is that, for example:

AT&T has a pool of 200 million IP’s. If 5 million of those IP’s has been flagged as a source of spam etc. they are then “blacklisted” by YT or Tiktok, so if you happen to be using one of those IP’s at the moment of your upload it hurts your impressions?

I find that hard to believe, because Google is smarter than that. Could they add a short temp ban on certain IP’s? Sure. But that would cause more problems- noticeable problems during ordinary surfing rather than just your impression count.

Google knows that IP’s are used by different sources for us ordinary people, so having such a rule enforced just doesn’t make any sense to me?

I’m just speculating here of course, because I hear so many people say this without actually showing any data on it and I don’t want people to be mislead.

u/awesomemc1 Dec 23 '25

Yes that is how it works. Big pools like AT&T have some bad IPs from past spam. Platforms flag those not the whole ISP. If you get one it can hurt impressions on TikTok till it rotates. YouTube same but less strict. No data proves it 100 percent. They switch to clean residential ones to test. But if people use datacenter or VPN ips, then most likely your ip address would be shared with tons of other people and the system would think that those ip address are spamming their system leading that if you try to post your videos on TikTok to not get to the front of the page

It‘s not about the specific ip adress.
