I found myself addicted to consuming and creating tiktoks for about a year and a half after amassing 25k followers in a few months.
There’s many repercussions to being on any social platform for countless hours a day, but for me it was a hard addiction to break.
Not only do you get the feeling of a slot machine when the platform allows you to win to keep you incentivized to keep creating, but you get stuck in a niche of content you probably would never do otherwise. You become a one trick pony or see yourself following trends out of desperation to keep your views.
I find TikTok to be one of the best platforms for manipulating your emotions. It can give you power just as fast as it can take it away. Once you get used to a certain amount of engagement and views, you hardly can settle for less emotionally.

It was a whirlwind for me.
