There are many students around me who spent dozens of yuan to buy fans in order to increase their popularity or open 1-minute long videos before the permission for 1-minute long videos was fully opened. Such behavior is really terrible, because Douyin strictly prohibits the behavior of buying fans and brushing likes. Once detected, the weight will be reduced at the least, and the weight will be locked up in the small black room at the worst. No matter how to maintain the account, the weight cannot be restored.

Some people will definitely say, I just bought some fans, is Douyin so strict? In fact, the reason is relatively simple. Those channels for adding fans outside, let alone whether you buy real fans or zombie fans, if you can buy hundreds or even thousands of fans with just a few dozen yuan, then it is very unfair to those who are serious about increasing fans through content.

The most important thing is that those who buy fans outside make money, which has nothing to do with Douyin. In addition, Douyin’s DOU+ is also an official channel for adding fans. If Douyin does not control it, those channels for adding fans outside are so cheap. Who will use DOU+ to increase fans in the future?!

Some people may still have a fluke mentality, thinking that they have added fans before and even received Douyin recommendations. Isn’t it safe now?

If you think so, you really underestimate Douyin’s technology. Douyin gives different recommendation amounts to each weight. If your work has a relatively small number of recommendations, and without the help of DOU+ acceleration, your interaction volume is relatively small, if the data suddenly jumps very high, it will be marked as abnormal by Douyin. So, it’s not that Douyin will not deal with you now, but it’s not the time yet. After all, there are many people who are brushing fans now, and it takes a certain amount of time for it to clean up. If you don’t stop it quickly, once Douyin monitors that you have brushed fans many times, your account will definitely be reset, and then it will really be more trouble than gain.

Therefore, in the early stage, don’t buy fans just to make the numbers look good. Those so-called popular packages outside, which guarantee you to be popular, are all fake, so don’t believe them. You only need to remember one sentence, those who collect money outside are all scammers, don’t be fooled!

With the popularity of Douyin, many black industries and scammers have also been spawned. One of my students received a private message notification, informing him that because of his activity this week, he was selected by Douyin as a special invited order user and enjoyed the rights to receive platform advertisements. Please reply “need” and “no need”.

Because this student saw that the avatar was Douyin’s assistant, he replied “need” with a try mentality, and received the official promotion website of Douyin. This student filled in the basic information according to the instructions of the website, and then entered the verification code of the bound mobile phone number. In the end, the mobile phone number was changed by the other party, which is the so-called account theft. What should you do if you encounter this situation one day? The author has a solution for account recovery, which can be handled as follows.

Please prepare the following materials and send an email to the official email address: feedback@douyin.com. Name the email subject as [Appeal Information + Douyin Nickname].

The materials you need to prepare are as follows: Download and fill out the “Account Appeal Application Letter” online, print the paper version and sign it, upload the electronic version (named as nickname + Douyin ID + application letter) and a paper photo with the signature. A photo of me holding my ID card and a piece of paper with the words “For Douyin account retrieval only”, and the two are in the same photo with clear handwriting.

A detailed description of the theft process, with the account information of the fraudster and all screenshot evidence (please summarize the picture evidence in the same Word file, named as nickname + Douyin ID + description of the fraud process). After preparing the above materials, send it to the email address. Douyin will give you feedback within 24 hours. Then just wait patiently. As long as you bind your real identity, you can generally get your account back.

Finally, a friendly reminder to everyone, Douyin official will not ask for personal mobile phone verification codes under any name. Any stranger who asks for verification codes is a scammer, remember!
