      Information without implementation is just intellectual entertainment, which also leads to addiction. Intention is more important than tons of information, which Dhruv has been serving us on platter without we seeking it. Easy access to this information made us addicted to consume more and more of his content without meaningful use of that content to contribute to the world.

    Yes!! Such an important topic, exactly the reasons why I left most social media last year. It's an incredibly toxic and damaging digital environment and these companies don't give two shits about the damage they're causing. Some ways to start detaching from technology: turn off unnecessary notifications, only see crucial things like emails in planned times in the day, reconnect with nature and the body, walks, hikes, exercise, spend quality time with people in person. So grateful that you're discussing this Dhruv, this will save a lot of lives.

    This is exactly what I was thinking a few days back. I really appreciate the way you explained it Dhruv. Ease of accessibility would result in less excitement and happiness in things we used to find happiness in getting earlier. Also the duration of excitement and joy which comes along with the sudden increase in the dopamine levels is short lived and goes down very quickly. Leaving one feeling empty. It's not achieved in a day by the rulers over the web but it is the result of the thorough process over a long duration of more than a decade of social media. Thank you for the video though. 👏

    14:21 I actually discovered this myself long before watching any sort of video about science behind addiction. I uninstalled instagram due to less storage space in my old phone thinking I could always access it via chrome. And snap! My daily average on insta used to be around 4.5 hours which legit dropped to 39 minutes. Although I got addicted to Netflix to fill the time in which I didn't use insta 🤣🤣 That's the thing. You reduce usage of one thing, you get addicted to something else because there's that void left in your daily routine. Instead of doing something productive that you planned to, you just fill that void with something as useless. It's an endless cycle, a paradox until you have the will power and motivation to snap out of it.

    How i came out of the addiction of Instagram
    1) i used to scroll on instagram for more than 3 hours then i thought this needs to change
    2) but i knew that uninstalling Instagram won't help
    3) i tried to go for a win win situation
    4) i decided to use Instagram only 2 times a day ( in the afternoon at the night)
    5) at the beginning it was very difficult to control myself
    6) after using i used to log out from Instagram so that i don't get distracted
    7) after few days i became comfortable using Instagram only for 1:30 min
    8) i knew this wasn't enough
    9) then i started using Instagram for only 1 hr
    10) now i use for 45 min a day
    11) it took more than 5-6 months but i tried hard coz this is not easy
    12) whenever i felt to scroll i used to watch utube
    13) when I started using utube i started watching informative videos
    14) i took the help of addiction to gain knowledge
    15) still someday i use insta like anything but 100 times better than before
