I use TikTok regularly, and according to my phone's app usage monitor, I spend about 3 to 4 hours a day scrolling through videos. Most of the time, I use TikTok for entertainment. It provides a wide variety of videos that align with my interests, such as fashion, cuisine, and even product reviews. These videos are captivating, making it hard to put my phone down. While I spend a lot of time on TikTok, I still consider it a guilty pleasure because it's a huge waste of time. It eats up many of my productive hours, and I don't learn much from it.
