Famous podcast host recently dropped some thoughts about constant social media engagement that got people talking. Even though someone powerful runs a major platform, he pointed out something most users feel but don't say out loud: being online 24/7, throwing opinions into the void, getting into endless debates with strangers? That's a one-way ticket to mental exhaustion.

It's not about the platform itself. It's about the habit. The dopamine chase. The need to respond, defend, attack. Day after day, scrolling and posting becomes less like communication and more like addiction. Maybe stepping back isn't weakness—it's self-preservation.

Really, staying up until midnight with sore eyes just to argue with people—what's the point?

ngl I can't quit, to be nice it's self-protection, but in reality, once I pick up my phone, I just can't stop. That feeling of being replied to so quickly has long killed my rationality.

NGL, that's so true. I get sucked in like this every day and just can't stop.

To be honest, this is a classic user retention trap. From a playability perspective, social media is essentially an infinite scrolling monetization mechanism, just like poorly designed blockchain games—no ending, only continuous spending and time investment. The incentive model is completely unbalanced; the algorithm rewards extreme opinions rather than rational discussion, which is just like some projects with severely mishandled token deflation. Those with self-control have already realized that quitting is the best ROI.

Nah is right, I'm the kind of person who stays up until 3 a.m., and now I realize I'm just arguing with emptiness.

That's true, but what's even more painful is that we all know this truth, yet we still can't change it.

That's right, I'm in this state right now... constantly fighting back every day, but end up with nothing, just exhausted.

ngl, you're so right. I'm that kind of spammer, and only now do I realize I've gotten a bit addicted... I need to quit.

It just seems like another influencer selling the "put down your phone" motivational speech... The words are right, but we need to look at on-chain data. What about himself? His posting frequency, fund flows, and contract interaction records are all transparent upon inspection. If you truly want to self-rescue, it’s better to learn how to track large wallet addresses and see who is really arbitraging from your anxiety.

You're so right. Spending all day on your phone is no different from drug use, it's just that you're addicted to virtual dopamine.
