So Funny Thought. . .

I had removed TikTok and Instagram from my phone. Mainly because I love TikTok to the point to where I was getting way too addicted to it and Instagram because the app stresses me out for personal reasons. The funny thing is I have been noticing that I’m a lot more focus when I’m creating art. I will run a long YouTube video or podcast in the background but I’m still focused. I think the constant having to swipe videos adds to it otherwise, it’ll drive me bonkers hearing the same short video over and over again. XD

That's a sensible choice! Honestly, you're not missing out. At least with my case (and many others who may feel this way) hardly get any social gratification with Instagram and sometimes TikTok... they're pretty much just ads, algorithms, with no genuine conversations ;___;

Okay. I haven’t been missing those apps. I agree and this is why I prefer sites like this over a lot of social media apps. I prefer sites where people can have meaningful conversations rather than people trying to sell me stuff.

When I was posting on those sites regularly I felt the pressure to perform to keep up with the algorithm. That was really tricky. O_O
