Do you think social media doesn’t harm you?
I can’t tell you the amount of people who've tried to convince themselves that they aren’t affected by the comparison machine that is social media. I hate to break it to you, but you are. Because you’re human, and these products are designed to keep us addicted AND to create anxiety within us so that we buy more products.
Within the industry, they use the phrase ‘monetized eyeballs’, which is just so disturbing it literally makes me shudder. I recommend you check out this film, which is free on YouTube: Childhood 2.0

or this one: The Social Dilemma, which is on Netflix.
Let me know your thoughts…
