Never realized just how much growing up and seeing doom news continuously on every timeline, everyday, affected me until now that I’m an adult.

Pffff true dat
Yup...
Trying to desensitize the human condition, not cool.
Using that heavy emotional human reaction in order to have people continue using their apps. A classic trauma bond relationship
exactly
that's so truee
Spot on.
Imagine discovering this while working there, your first job, keen eyed optimist. Then over the years you realize it's a prison but how can you quit the rat race of 9-5?
Ugh.

I canceled my cable a year ago. What a huge difference it has made not watching any news. I’m much happier and less stressed out.
This is also why I love Nostr so much! No algorithms to manipulate us. That’s why I think people here are so much happier.
Traditional social media has been tearing society apart with their algorithms. The sooner it goes away the better off we will all be.
Keep that inner child shielded Roya ⚔️
Not to be a Debbie downer but as more people join Nostr we will see a rise in negativity. Until then let’s have fun.
I just removed Apple News from my phone yesterday. 100% happier today.
thats a big step. nobody needs to know what the CFR controlled media wants people to think, anyway. :-)
you'll be much happier for the decision.
It’s useless. Everything is a paid subscription request
People are astonished when I tell them I’ve stopped watching cable network news and mostly avoid mainstream journalism at this point. I used to be a hardcore junkie for that stuff, and it only left me stressed out and full of opinions approved by corporations.
once you stop caring you life changes drastically
Felt this hard
We always had some kind of news on the tv growing up, even on the international channels, I loved it, but now not so much
We had a TV growing up, but it was used very rarely and pretty much only for movies. Never had cable or anything like that.
I feel incredibly lucky for that.
Its nice to see this kind of awareness here. I can’t even remember when was the last time I watched cable TV 🤯 I prefer to listen to people, research and validate info. Even when I watch those few Netflix shows a year, i am fully conscious that this is mainstream media. I hear what they want to say.
We’re all continuously traumatized from a young age by institutions. The news, the public schools, the dentists, the government. It has an effect, wears people down.
No one should subject themselves to that psychic drain.
This is a game where the only way to win is not to play.
