#GetPaid Be Free (W/ Josh Forti)

80 - Social Media, Cigarettes, And Where To Draw The Line


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m going to talk about how social media is just as addictive as cigarettes or any other powerful drug. The reason people get so hooked on it is that our lives are boring and we always need that instant high of Dopamine.

Many studies have shown that social media addiction is indeed real, and for social media companies, it’s all for their financial gain and nothing more. Question is; does the end justify the means when it comes to using social media to get a message out?

Key Points Discussed:

  • It’s easier to make it happen if you believe it’s possible (01:15)
  • Life every day is pretty boring (03:54)
  • Social media is a drug (06:49)
  • Living in an instant gratification society (08:43)
  • Reality is boring and people don't like boring stuff (14:26)
