1-PERSONAL VIDEO HABITS

 

If I am on my phone, I am most likely watching TikTok, Netflix,

Instagram, or YouTube. Every day, I wake up and get on Tik Tok to help wake myself up. After my day is over and I have taken a shower, I hop in bed and watch TikTok to unwind and help myself fall asleep.  But when I am in the mood to watch TV, I will pull up Netflix on my laptop.  If I just want to watch a longer video and not Tik Tok, I will get on YouTube and watch a get ready with me, vlog, or haul video. 

TikTok is a social video app that allows users to share short videos. TikTok was one of the most downloaded apps in 2018, beating Snapchat and Instagram. I have been watching TikTok since it was Musical.ly, growing up Musical.ly was my favorite app and I made videos constantly. Now that I have grown up, I don't make as many videos, but I do enjoy just scrolling for hours. Some of my favorite creators to watch are Noah Millz, Britney Broski, Alix Earle, Lisishops, and Gertie. My favorite videos to watch are "Get Ready with me" and shopping hauls. 

Netflix is a streaming platform that I use to watch my favorite TV shows and movies. I have used Netflix for years and some of my favorite shows to watch are Outer Banks, Stranger Things, Gilmore Girls, Love Island, and Never Have I Ever. Some of my favorite movies to watch on Netflix are Mean girls, Whiplash, Lady Bird, Uncharted, and Little Women. Netflix is my favorite streaming platform because they make "Netflix Original" shows and movies.  

Instagram is one of my go to apps to watch a lot of videos. Although Instagram reels are very similar to TikTok, I still enjoy going on there and watching food videos, funny videos, and cheer videos. I have been using Instagram since I was in middle school and have enjoyed watching videos on there for many years. 

YouTube is another app that I use pretty often. I grew up watching famous vloggers like Emma Chamberlain and David Dobrik so I am very used to going on the app and getting sucked into watching videos for hours. I enjoy watching vlogs, cheer videos, hair tutorials, and makeup videos. I mostly use YouTube on long car rides to help me pass the time. I also listen to a lot of podcasts and sermons in the morning when I am getting ready! My favorite podcast to listen to is The Broski Report and my favorite sermons to listen to are the ones by Sadie Robertson.
