Tiktok is a platform that is known to favour fresh content. This includes fresh ad creatives.

Fortunately there is. It’s called changing metadata and changing the hue of the creative.
Changing metadata is also called meta refreshing.

When you meta refresh, you change the metadata such as video description, video name, type, language, release date, genre etc
This way apps that read video metadata such as Tiktok, Youtube etc will see a new meta data and be tricked into viewing the video as fresh.
