In a video, the LSU gymnast invites her followers into the intimate process of removing her meticulously styled hair and makeup in the bathroom. This raw and vulnerable portrayal captures the essential steps involved in winding down after a meet, with Dunne emphasizing the significance of unwinding in the bathtub as a crucial part of her post-competition ritual.
Dunne, 21, captioned the video, "The post-meet glow," capturing her radiant energy after the competition.
Is TikTok Shadow-Banning Olivia Dunne?
There's speculation surrounding Dunne potentially being shadow banned, as her "get unready with me" video garnered fewer than 400,000 views. While this figure might seem significant, considering the internet star's substantial following of over 20 times that number and her usual videos typically surpassing 1 million views, it raises questions about a potential decrease in visibility or algorithmic suppression.
Shadow banning refers to a situation where a user's posts or profile are effectively hidden from both their followers and broader audiences, or their content receives reduced visibility in the platform's algorithmic ranking.
"What in the shadow ban is going on," Dunne expressed in a recent clip, hinting at the possibility of TikTok manipulating her view count, indicating her concern over potential algorithmic interference.
