RE: Social Media is Hacking our Brains
Dopamine. Dopamine is a drug released by the brain during pleasurable situations
Just like when people go to casinos and pull the lever.. over and over again. Just when they think all is lost,the WIN.. not much, never as much as they have lost. But the feeling of.. the next spin will be the big one.
Social media is the same. You have followers.. how many? Doesn't matter... you have more than the popular girl from high school decades ago. That's all that matters.
Are we starved for attention?
I had read somewhere moths ago that facebook is responsible for about 30% of all marriage breakups and divorces. Sad..., real sad
30% is totally crazy, yet entirely believable. Sad. I wonder how many marriages are affected by Steemit?
Would be interesting to find out as steemit grows more and more. But I think steemit is more of a business platform and not so much as reconnecting with old high school friends, etc. like other social media sites. But yeah, 30% is staggering!
I believe, and hope, that the ones on here that I associate with are working for either the cryptocurrency aspect or building a blogging, writing career.
I personally have no time for nonsense. Marriage strong and hubby has all access to the account. After all, the cryptocurrency earned here is for OUR retirement years down the line; so he should see the progression.
