Sometimes after riding in the city for a couple of hours, needing to frequently use my starter, I'll instead just popstart my bike if I'm at the top of a hill. I recently just started doing this, around 5 times in a day, maybe 20 times in a week.

Started doing this just because I'm wanting to dick around on the bike, and a little because I'm afraid I'll eventually burn my starter using my starter roughly 40-50 times a day, 5 days a week. So far though it's got 31,xxx miles and the starter isn't giving me any issues (knock on wood)

Is frequent pop starting bad for the bike?
