What are we feeding ourselves?
social media is about exploiting human psychology, a quick fix. if we aren’t addicted turn it off for a week can we?
some do anything to be liked or noticed, now as the current generation it’s to be liked by 60 million.. every individual wants to feel connected truth vs popularity these days can be a diluted topic.. how the rich use money to influence groups.. they are basically paying to manipulate peoples thoughts.
It is just as good as Dopamine fix when a red notification appears, a like appears.. feedback actually is what we are looking for.. we are looking for reactions.
On the developers end, their main objective is how do we consume as much of your time as possible and your attention? And if possible by posting, considering to post something for that matter becomes an endless cycle of self validation.
Same goes for binge watching series/dramas. Sad to say we are all wiltering away and truth be told.. psychologically messing up the basis of human nature and how society evolves around us.
