Think back on the last couple of days. How many times have you suddenly found yourself scrolling short-form videos on your phone? It could be YouTube, Instagram, TikTok or somewhere else. It kinda snuck up on you, and without realising it, there you were, scrolling again.
Short form video platforms are hypnotising you.
But it’s not just about your time. The latest research is conclusive – short-form videos hurt your brain. They are weakening your frontal lobe (where your ability to make decisions sits).
And now that AI is analysing and optimising these, you are facing weapons-grade efforts to zombify you.
Want us to train you to fight back? Do you want to win this war for your brain?

Realise that short-form videos are what we call “vomit-streams”, because they are making you sick. These companies throw up videos at you again and again. The videos stinks. Allow your body to really connect with that. In the future you may gag at the thought of touching a vomit stream.
-
See red. Allow yourself to get angry at these companies that are working so hard at stupifying you. They think you’re an idiot. They are treating you like one. And so it’s natural to see red when you see those short-form videos. And then it’ll also be natural that when you see red you’ll want to stop watching them.
-
The most vulnerable doom-scrolling times are at night, mornings and in the toilet. Complete remove easy access to your phone in these areas. Don’t take your phone to the bathroom (maybe leave a novel there instead), and keep your phone away from your bed.
