Beware of the 3 most dangerous disadvantages of using TikTok

Are you aware of all the hours you spend on TikTok? Do you think it’s worth it? Perhaps you have not yet realized that this application can impact in these 3 ways and negatively in your life:

1. Content without value: The biggest disadvantage of using TikTok occurs when you consume content that only serves for entertainment, and although it is good to have a moment of relaxation, the truth is that being on TikTok exceeds the limits, when you least realize it, you have wasted 3,5,6 and even more hours watching meaningless videos that you will not remember tomorrow.
2. It can be a bad influence: Beware who you follow! Although TikTok seems like a very friendly app, within it hide all kinds of profiles and people with different traits and personalities, it is nothing new to know that there are homophobic, racist, racist people, etc. on TikTok. And despite the fact that this application has very clear rules for its community, even today it is very easy to transmit a message of hate or discrimination and pass it off as comedy, being exposed to this type of content daily and worse still, when one is a teenager or pubescent, can create significant changes in behavior in real life.
3. Generates long-term addiction: If you don’t know how many hours a day you spend on TikTok, you might already be falling into the deep hole of addiction to this application. This addiction is generated when the user is not able to spend a single day without opening the app, regardless of what he does in it, whether it is uploading content or watching videos, spending a lot of time inside and without obtaining any benefit is one of the most devastating conditions for the general public, and although it is not noticeable in the short term, over time the real consequences begin to be noticed; when you buy coins on TikTok, when you have many products at home that you bought because you saw it on some TikToker, when you neglect the real world for spending a lot of time on this app and even when you say you are a friend of your favorite TikTokers and know all their daily life and routine, when they don’t even know of your existence.
