In the forum, the author uploaded numerous screenshots from TXT’s TikTok account and claimed the group’s cluttered feed. The author stated:
“Before, TXT used to have a lot of views and followers, but nowadays, their views have all dropped. Isn’t this pretty severe?

The left one was two years ago, while the right one was taken lately.
The issue here is that their TikTok (content) became boring. If you view their feed, you can tell that it’s all messy. It feels like they’re releasing videos not for the sake of TikTok, but videos featuring them in the same outfits, during the same day, and a bunch in a row.
It doesn’t even feel like these are meant for MOAs at all. Nowadays, fans are all displeased as well. It also includes international fans, since they subscribe to TikTok a lot and feel like it’s a shame (seeing TXT’s feed).

Several key points on how to improve TikTok presence were also enumerated by the original poster. It elaborated:
“I’ve tried writing down the most problematic parts regarding TXT’s TikTok planning.

1. Stop posting ‘series’ videos on TikTok.
– Who planned the ep. 1 to ep. 2 to ‘please look forward’ format?
– Stop with the ‘Who are we meeting?’ and ‘What are we doing?’ content.
– Give us full videos for great impact.
2. Stop mass-producing TikTok videos like it’s a factory.
– Please stop shooting lots of videos with the same outfits in a day.
– Stop having the same content shot by different members too,
– Stop with this mass production. Does BIGHIT even pay them more for these videos?
3. TikTok isn’t entirely about advertisement, but also for fans too.
– It feels like they only do ads because TXT has a lot of followers.
– Please recognize that the account isn’t going to make fans subscribe by advertising.
4. Please release content that is fitting for TikTok / YouTube Reels
5. (Most important) Give TXT’s TikTok back to the members.
– It looks like the agency is doing a power trip on their TikTok nowadays and it’s not appealing anymore.
– Let TXT do whatever they want.
These are just my opinions on TXT’s TikTok lately, but I hope they stop releasing videos that aren’t meant for TikTok.

Green: These are not meant for TikTok
Yellow: (from left to right)
– It’s meant to be released longer on YouTube.
– They should’ve worn casual clothes for this.
– These are meant for reel shorts.
– Is this the best thumbnail they’ve got?
Meanwhile, fans agreed with the author’s post:
- “Seriously, I can’t get why they’re doing this on TikTok, given that TXT was one of the first Korean idols to have an explosive response on the platform. But now, their feed is one of the worst.”
- “BIGHIT please consider this. TikTok is all about what’s hilarious, awesome, original, and anything that can make an impact.”
- “I hate those types of videos where they do the ‘What are we doing?’ ‘Where are we?’ or ‘What are we preparing?'”
- “If you look at their most-viewed videos, you can tell immediately that TXT members know what the fans want.”
