This research uses a quantitative descriptive method using a questionnaire measuring instrument. A total of 116 TikTok and Shopee users in the Greater Bandung area were involved in this study. Furthermore, data analysis using the SPSS v.26 application checks the validity and reliability tests, normality, and simple regression analysis.
