About this episode

The host discusses the negative impact of social media on genuine connections and encourages listeners to rethink their online habits.

I've given up on all social media platforms—they're drowning in AI-generated slop and clickbait. It's heartbreaking because I'm missing genuine connections with friends and colleagues, but wading through the garbage isn't worth it anymore. Save your sanity: quit doom scrolling and rethink who you follow. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
