In a video posted on April 25, Pokimane addressed some of her difficulties with the platform, claiming that her beauty had become the focus of her thought process when creating content, which was not the case earlier.

“Does anyone else feel like being on TikTok has made you way more obsessed with appearances?” she said in the video, adding, “Initially, it was kind of fun. Like, oh, I get to learn about skincare and clothing and see different kinds of aesthetics. But after a while, I noticed it got toxic really quick. I started considering how I look before things that are equally as important, like what I wanna say, how I feel, etcetera.” She asked her followers to use the platform wisely and make it a place where they can show their worth.

'I feel like I always need filters now'

A user commented, "OMG yes outfits is my biggest issue. I literally see all these outfits on TikTok and I can’t compete," while another wrote, "To play devils advocate I like how it’s made people more adventurous with their fashion but too much of anything on the internet can turn bad quick." Another user commented, "I literally have this exact issue, I feel like I always need filters now. Trying to use it less."
