Enjoying Social Media in a Guilt-Free Way

There are many discussions around the harmful effects of social media. In this video, I take a slightly different stance and discuss how social media by itself is not necessarily bad. Rather the problem lies in how we engage with social media. Broadly I discuss the following aspects:

Breaking free from doomscrolling Breaking free from facebook (specifically) Breaking free from the algorithm

I discuss how self-curated lists of videos to watch and things to read based on our own conscious tastes and preferences can help us get back active control of what we consume instead of being mindlessly served by the algorithm.
