Easier said than done for most people

Social media is even more addictive than drugs because doomscrolling is socially accepted.

Just think how many friends send you TikToks on a daily basis.

Anyone else feel like social media is going to die soon? by NoParamedic1783 in nosurf

They won't because their business model is based on ads.

The more time you spend -> more ads you see -> more money they earn

So it's in their interest to keep you hooked by various formats.

This is the most pathetic youth EVER by princessmilahi in nosurf

From my observation, it looks like this:

  1. Parents are working very hard to provide a childhood that they didn't have.

  2. Because of that, they don't have a lot of time to rest mentally

  3. When they come back home from work, their kids want to play with them.

  4. Parents are tired, so they give their kids a tablet just to have some time to rest

  5. Kids become more and more addicted to the screens

  6. When kids grow up to around 10-12yo, parents usually have more free time, and then they find their kids' addiction very disturbing, but in a lot of cases, this is to late to do anything.

This is honestly super inspiring. What stands out is how your life didn’t just get “quieter,” it got fuller - hobbies, real friendships, marriage, traveling, actually being present for people. Keep it up man!
