Scrolling
Started with TikTok, these short clips are destroying so many young generation. We’re being controlled just by algorithms. There is exactly one reason why they are making their platforms totally free - to keep you busy, to keep you weak and depressed. How do you think these social media apps make money? By ads, of course. So, in order to make ads reach as many users as possible, they have to keep their users busy using their apps. This is exactly why they created short clips. Every time you watch a new short video, it knows you better and shows you videos that suit your interest. As the saying goes, if the product is free, then you are the product.
Also, did you know that the country that created TikTok banned their own product? Yes, China doesn’t allow their citizens to use TikTok because they know exactly how these short videos make them weak. Instead, they created similar app that only shows clips related to only education. Nothing else.
Isn’t it time to stop this bad habit? Isn’t it time to reduce our screen time? Isn’t it time to never let them control us?
P.S: I also watch shorts sometimes. And I’m trying to stop it forever. So, these are also notes for myself.
