In this video, Abhi and Niyu try to highlight how social media is slowly poisoning us and is taking complete charge of our lives. The video also focuses on how we as responsible citizens can overcome these hurdles with some concrete solutions.
#socialmedia #addiction #abhiandniyu
Social media has truly transformed our lives. Now it’s no longer a luxury but a necessity. New trends, new reels, new and better platforms which are a lot more faster having multiple in-built features have become an important part of our lives. The structures and methods have changed. Earlier they were a part of our lives to make things simpler for us, to make us efficient. But now they are CONTROLLING US, DICTATING US, and making us ADDICTED
One of the most concerning aspects the video explore is how social media usage releases dopamine, the brain’s feel-good neurotransmitter, creating a cycle of addiction and dependency that can have long-term negative effects on our neural pathways and emotional well-being.
From endless scrolling to the pressure of maintaining a curated online persona, the pitfalls of platforms like TikTok are vast and far-reaching.
And it’s not just Tiktok. It’s every social media platform, be it Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat
But fear not, for this video isn’t just about highlighting the problems; it’s about offering solutions. The video will explore practical strategies and tools to help you regain control over your social media usage and break free from the grips of addiction. Whether it’s setting limits on screen time, practicing mindfulness, or cultivating real-life connections.

About Us:
Abhi and Niyu is the fastest growing Indian educational YouTube channel. Abhi and Niyu are a husband-wife couple who believe in the power of our youth.
Abhi and Niyu started their page to talk about positive, impactful ideas and to inspire offline action from online content. It was a way to change the way our negative feeds operated and replace negative news with positive, action-oriented news that made some change. They decode and simplify issues for Millenials and believe small steps lead to big outcomes in the future. Their videos span different genres like history, environment, and sustainability, policy discussions, social commentary, economics, personal finance, among others.
A study just out from researchers at Durham University in the UK has found that reducing social media use doesn’t have much of an effect on people’s emotional life one way or another. Hard to believe? Let’s put this new finding into context.

WHO AM I?
Hey there, I’m Cinzia DuBois. I’m a part-time, self-funded PhD student and YouTuber, Podcaster and writer. I’ve been creating videos for over thirteen years. I discuss productivity, personal development, PhD, academia and mental well-being on this channel. On my main channel, I talk about all things dark and ancient history, literature and folklore.
The reality of social media today is a complex tapestry of connection, influence, and vulnerability. On the one hand, it has revolutionized how we communicate, allowing us to connect with friends and family across the globe, share our passions, and discover new horizons. However, beneath the glossy filters and curated feeds lies a darker side—a world of comparison, addiction, and privacy concerns. Many users grapple with the pressure to project a flawless image, leading to feelings of inadequacy and anxiety. Moreover, the constant barrage of information and the algorithmic echo chambers can skew our perceptions of reality and polarize our beliefs. In this digital age, understanding the nuanced facts of social media is essential to harnessing its benefits while safeguarding our mental well-being and privacy.
Navigating the realities of social media requires a discerning eye and a critical mind. It’s a place where authenticity can shine but often competes with carefully constructed personas. Users must be vigilant about the information they consume and share, as misinformation and echo chambers thrive in the digital realm. Privacy concerns demand a closer look at how our data is collected and used, prompting discussions about digital rights and online ethics. In this ever-evolving landscape, fostering a healthy relationship with social media involves striking a balance between staying connected and safeguarding our mental and emotional well-being, ultimately reminding us that the power to shape digital reality lies in our hands.
