Are you spending too much time obsessing about your data on TikTok
Introduction
As my 30-day journey of embracing TikTok and trying to decipher its algorithm nears its conclusion, I've become increasingly aware of how much time I've devoted to this platform. This past weekend, particularly due to the bank holiday, I found myself reflecting on my TikTok habits. I've caught myself frequently pulling out my phone to check my TikTok notifications, obsessively monitoring my video performance—view counts, likes, shares, you name it.
Is it just me, or do others feel an overwhelming urge to check their phones every ten minutes? This has become a significant part of my experience, and I believe it's essential to address the impact TikTok may have on our lives. Spending too much time on social media, especially obsessing over metrics, doesn't seem particularly healthy.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. If you resonate with my experience or if you've found yourself in a similar situation, please drop a comment below!
