How is Instagram is programming you to fail in life?

When you open the reels section, after 10 minutes in your mind, you realize you wasted 1 hour on scrolling reels and learned nothing, now you have the headache of overexposure to content and you sit down to do some productive work, you are blank.

You have two options either delete Instagram or repeat the same cycle the next day.

We will discuss the science behind how Instagram can destroy your life

1. The dopamine tricks!

If we have to talk about addiction, we have to talk about dopamine, it’s a pleasure-seeking hormone and relates to our intrinsic motivation, the problem with Instagram is your search for dopamine just never ends, there are always more videos, more news, more photos of celebrities, or daily updates of your friends. It will just never end.

 2. Hooking!

Once you use Instagram for more than 2 days, you will get hooked to it and it will become part of life, first thing in the morning you will open Instagram to get updates,

In today's world who doesn’t scroll through Instagram?

I don’t, I will download Instagram to just post my photos to keep them on giant servers on Meta Platforms Inc.(Facebook company) for free and just delete them without any consequences. In a nutshell, it's just like google photos to me. I was able to figure out the mechanism, Instagram hires scientists to make their platforms addictive, and it's destroying the youth’s attention span.

Even some studies show neurologically Instagram has the same effect as smoking, one puff equals one reel. 

3. Why Escape from this?

You couldn’t change the algorithm of Instagram, just ask yourself, do you want a life full of regrets or full of memories and accomplishments? These billionaires are living comfortably by hooking us to their addictive apps and would you be able to live as a product to a company or escape and make your life worth living? 

4. Escaping route!

Escaping is simple, just delete the app for just 21 days, first 5 days will be the hardest but after 10 days you will be having full control of your life, don’t forget to add good habits like reading books or just watching biographies of great minds.

This will help you to get out of the rut that is destroying your life!
