Social Media Brain Rot Is Scaring Me! I love my job on social media and everything it’s brought into my life and the lives of so many others around the world. But the more time I spend on social media, the more I see how it’s slowly damaging our minds. From declining social skills and shrinking attention spans to unhinged AI images, deepfakes, and the creative industry being taken over, social media is changing everything. I’m now doing my best to set new boundaries and take back control before social media brain rot get’s worse.

Our New Year’s Resolution is to stop letting social media companies STEAL OUR DATA!
In all seriousness, we love social media for all the creative content produced and the democratisation of information, but these apps have been designed in a way that brings more harm than good to our mental and physical health.
So, what is the way to go? Should we totally stop using social media? Can we fight back against these platforms by being more mindful in our use, or are we too far gone with our addiction and reliance on them?
