For the past two months, I've been really diving deep into TikTok metadata.
First, I started by removing metadata from videos, which I think works the best.
Then, I became obsessed with making the videos look as "real" as possible.
This means copying ALL the unique metadata from the TikTok camera and putting it onto a new video. I also add a new copyright hash and change the filename to something unique. I made scripts that can do all this in just one click.
If you compare the videos made with my script to original TikTok videos, you won't see any difference at all.
TikTok has unique metadata tags for videos exported from its camera. You might think copying those is the way to go, right? Wrong.
In my struggle, I've found that it just doesn't really work. I wasted about 2 months playing around with something that doesn't work.
I tried editing the videos, adding my own invisible watermark (in case TikTok is adding one), and nothing worked.
Some people might say it's as easy as adjusting the brightness, contrast, or cutting a few seconds off the video. But it's not. That doesn't change the AI video hash. For more info, you can look up "videohash" in Python.
The true video hash is very difficult to manipulate. Cropping, editing, adding a few pixels, or anything like that won't change the true video hash.
And using MD5 hash-changing apps won't work either because they just superficially change the hash in a way that adds extra data to the file, which TikTok automatically flags as suspicious.
The most views I got using this method was around 28,000. But nothing more. I even got shadowbanned while testing, and now every video I upload says "not eligible for FYP" on it.
Even when you do change the metadata, TikTok still shadowbans your video to only get around 250-300 views.
I really doubt anyone has a real method for this, and if they're selling one, they're probably lying and won't show proof. They'll claim it's easy and they've figured it out, but they won't show real proof.
