Is it a bad practice to not tune your guitar as long as it sounds decent? (lemmy.world)

Hi, I'm a beginner learning guitar. I noticed that after a month or so my guitar doesn't sound the same but it's not too bad. And I am hesitant to tune my guitar frequently because I'm afraid that some strings might snap.

Is it fine to not tune guitar until it sounds garbage (unrecognizable)?

I usually tune every few days or when it sounds off.

Your strings won't break from tuning then into standard tuning.
