Ameyaw Debrah, a social media personality, has expressed concerns that the pursuit of virality on TikTok is compromising the platform's standards. According to a report by News Ghana, Debrah believes that the chase for likes, comments, and shares is leading to a decrease in the quality of content on the platform. This issue is pertinent in Ghana, where TikTok has gained significant popularity.

The lowering of standards on TikTok due to the pursuit of virality has significant implications for social commerce. As a platform where creators and businesses showcase their products and services, the degradation of content quality can negatively impact consumer engagement and trust. Therefore, it is essential for TikTok to strike a balance between promoting viral content and maintaining high standards to ensure a positive experience for its users, including those in Ghana who use the platform for social commerce purposes.
