Livvy Dunne accuses TikTok of \u201cshadow banning\u201d her as views plummet Instagram: livvydunneGymnast and social media star Livvy Dunne has accused TikTok of \u201cshadow banning\u201d her account after noticing her views starting to plummet on the platform. Olivia \u2018Livvy\u2019 Dunne is a D1 athlete and gymnast for Louisiana State University who has risen to social media fame over the last few years. In fact, she\u2019s the most-followed NCAA athlete on social media, boasting over 7 million followers on TikTok and over 4 million on Instagram. However, the gymnast noticed that her views on a certain social media platform were getting far lower than they usually are \u2014 prompting her to call out the site in a pointed comment. Livvy Dunne questions TikTok shadow ban after views take a hit Out of all her social media accounts, her TikTok profile is the most popular. Usually, Dunne\u2019s short-form videos on the app rack up millions of views each\u2026 but her most recent uploads are struggling in comparison. Starting at the beginning of December, Dunne\u2019s views plummeted from in the low millions to around the 500K mark, a massive drop from her usual viewership. Seeming to notice this trend, Dunne asked if the site had shadow banned her in a comment on one of her videos. \u201cWhy am I shadow banned?\u201d she wrote. A few fans responded to her comment, with one user speculating that she must be, since her \u201cposts never show in my fyp anymore.\u201d Shadow banning refers to when a social media platform or website doesn\u2019t outright ban an account, but merely suppresses that account\u2019s reach from entering the algorithm or being recommended to other users. It\u2019s impossible to know if Dunne was really shadow banned on TikTok or not, but it is a common occurrence on many social media sites. For now, it looks like both Dunne and her many fans are left in the dark as to why her views are so low.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
