In todays exclusive DTube video I talk about Social Media and how it triggers a release of Dopamine a.k.a ‘the feel-good chemical’. The same parts of your brain related to orgasms, motivation and love are stimulated by your social media use and even more so when you have an audience! So you better watch my video and leave me a nice comment so I get my fix for today :P

That's the modern way of manipulating people, and it is now part of the people's subconscious that social media is their part of their lives they set up a process that people will make a habit of using it until it reach to a point that they already shackled. They make us believe it is free to use the platform but in the end they sell our information.
Here is a good talk from a fromer facebook exec. about the "dark" side of social media itself.
Yes I saw that awhile ago and I thought it was so ironic that he is not using Facebook himself lol
Social Media shapes our brain. Sometimes the shape is bad, sometimes good.
It can be good but you have to learn to control your thoughts
Aww what you said at the end is so cute! xxx
Well it's all true :P <3
Very interesting, thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching!
True true.
Even though there are some weird negatives there has been with the growth of the internet and social media, especially with addiction to the technologies we have, I have no regrets.
Most of us are addicted to this stuff, but eh, whatever. I'm still chilling...
Well with Steemit and DTube you get rewarded so you could argue it's justified, but Facebook etc are not really rewarding users so I'm trying to not use them anymore tbh :P
Well said man, luckily I'm deleting facebook on 25th of may and will stay on Steemit/DTube/Dlive and Youtube only.
Thanks dude, I totally understand your decision to delete Facebook and to stay on Steemit etc!
very interesting :D
Thanks for watching! :)

Social Media is a Two-edged weapon. Once you have a smartphone, you're open to the world and isolated from there at the same time. It's all about psychology or behavior. You can stalk people thru social media and nobody will now you in person untill you show your prints...
True that, I really does depend on us at the end of the day, but it is very addictive
This is very interesting my friend..
Thanks for stopping by!
Man, the addiction is REAL. When I hear a notification ping, I perk up and am like "oooo attention!" It's bad man. I think if I stopped using social media, I would withdrawl badly, but then be ok. I guess it's all what you're used to.
I find it quite easy to not go onto FB or IG anymore, but I have trouble not checking my steemit lol
Good video content, but there is quite the echo in the room you use that makes the audio not so great. I would suggest some sound deadening material or get the mic a bit closer perhaps. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for actually watching the video! I tried a new room of the apartment, I agree the audio is not great unfortunately
Ive been hearing about the dammnable effect of social media but I didn't belive , now I do.
Wow, nice video! @tanbay I resteemed this post @tanbay
Thanks for stopping by!
Okay relax guys, this was not THAT well said and it was not THAT interesting. You can't just say that social media in general releases dopamine which regulates your attention and decision making. There is multiple levels to social media that does not get explored in this article, nobody completely understands dopamine and stuff like attention is extremely complex and very hard to differentiate from other stuff like the suppression of feeling-tone affection. This video is a fine warning of the addictive behavior of social media but why are you acting so damn mindblown over it?
