6 Major Disadvantages Of Using TikTok – AppsKingo
Summary:
Tik Tok is an app where the user posts 15-second videos and receives likes (rewards) from other users. This app follows a trend in other Social Media apps, such as Snapchat, which features stories that disappear after 24 hours. While Social media has been around for years now, new apps are always being published and tested by companies to see how successful they are or if they should just leave them alone. We have seen many standards on how we either use social media platforms or how we think we use them; however, with the development of new technologies, new ways of using these platforms keep coming back; so despite everything that you know about trends on social media platforms like Facebook Messenger but also Skype or Instagram itself one of the biggest trends is Tik Tok.
The app was developed by musical.ly, a Chinese company that helped with its creation; but it was bought in April 2016 by musical.ly owner Bytedance for $1 billion, and based on their previous successes, they are definitely planning to make some changes to this app too. This happened after the app became one of the most used apps in America and it became very popular among teens and even children under 13 years old which made the parents become concerned about its content.
This app’s popularity seems to be because of how easy it is to use as well as having entertaining features such as these short 15-second videos and also that kids can easily make friends all around the world which makes them stay on this app more as it offers them entertainment, interaction, and rewards. On the other hand, many people use Tik Tok because they like how it makes their life easier including keeping up with friends or getting the trendiest styles.
For all of these reasons why so many young users are using TikTok we can conclude that even though new social media apps appear every day, there is nothing better than having an entertaining platform where you can easily keep in touch with your friends from different countries and have a lot of fun for free. If we look at the pros of TikTok, as a communication tool, or just as a simple video sharing platform I think that most people would agree with me when I say that this kind of app is definitely the best thing that has happened to social media lately.
In conclusion, I’d like to say that even though this app does offer you a lot of fun, it also has some disadvantages and you cannot ignore them. The time spent on apps such as these can be harmful to your health and they are not good for your education, especially if you’re under 13 years old; besides this fact, users can easily be influenced by the content there which is why parents should monitor their children’s activity more frequently on different platforms such as TikTok or any other popular social media app. As far as we know right now fewer people than ever before value human contact with others in real life or just spend time reading books or watching TV but instead we are so obsessed with the virtual world that social media apps like tik tok play a huge role in our lives.
Going back to the topic, I believe that what you will read about this app is of great importance because of all the ideas and thoughts that it raises. We live in a society where people want free things or they just don’t care; but if you think about it, this opens up new chances for business and also encourages having fun without spending too much money. That’s why when it comes to TikTok we first have to understand how we can manage its downsides while still enjoying all of its benefits and second how can we make sure that no one abuses from these features? As everything in life has pros and cons we should take our time to think about how we can make the best out of this app (or any other) and live a happy life.
In conclusion, I’d like to say that even though this app does offer you a lot of fun, it also has some disadvantages and you cannot ignore them. The time spent on apps such as these can be harmful to your health and they are not good for your education, especially if you’re under 13 years old; besides this fact, users can easily be influenced by the content there which is why parents should monitor their children’s activity more frequently on different platforms such as TikTok or any other popular social media app. As far as we know right now fewer people than ever before value human contact with others in real life or just spend time reading books or watching TV but instead we are so obsessed with the virtual world that social media apps like tik tok play a huge role in our lives.
As we discussed, there are lots of great features that make this app one of the best ones out there and it’s very useful for fun, meeting people, and getting creative thoughts out of your head. But if you’re trying to be a professional singer/video creator, being on TikTok is not going to help you for sure because many famous singers have already signed contracts with another company which makes their content anonymous (google it) and also if they want to promote one of their new songs they can do it from a better platform.
Finally, I’d like to say that I agree with you when you say that tik tok is probably the best video-sharing app out there and can be very helpful for business people who want to advertise their products or services. It’s not only an entertaining tool but also a great chance for everyone to communicate freely without being afraid of bothering other users. One thing that most teens/adults don’t know about this app is that it’s closely connected with another popular social media – Facebook so if you’re trying to improve your marketing skills in this area then I’d recommend you to try TikTok because in my opinion as long as people use apps such as these one day they will become unavoidable parts of our life.
