This man is extremely underrated.

Usually you fear to start doing what you have to do, so surfing mindlessly on social media is kinda a safe and comfy zone for you and at some points you'd think you wasted so much time and it makes your procrastination go worse, you eventually feel not to do anything for the rest of the day because you think it's not worth it and start the work by tomorrow. This happened to me a lot, especially when I burned out. To avoid this you have to force yourself to do the work gradually, the easiest part first. It's like bursting yourself with cold shower in the morning. And the other hard part is to force yourself to take a break from those dopamine factory. It's terrifying to see how this effect on your brain.

I'm happy I broke free from social media addiction it was hard but I'm free now I get to spend my time wisely I'm not influenced by anything that's happening on social media I get to decide where my time and attention goes to and it goes to things that build me.

This video also made me realize a lot about how the game League of Legends keeps players (including me) hooked despite losing many times in a row. It's likely because I'm always hoping for the win in the next game and hoping I'll get the reward in the end. But even if I win, I'll be too greedy to stop playing because I want to be rewarded again and again. Honestly, it's a downward spiral. Your video has helped me to realize I also act like a rat in a box. Thank you for your time and efforts you put into these videos. I hope your channel will get the recognition it deserves

Variable Ratio Reinforcement... Just like real life, or any endeavours... Art, singing, photography (these are my hobbies) and sometimes exercising; all these don't reward all the time it doesn't go ↗️↗️↗️, instead ↗️↘️↗️➡️ that's just life huh, addictive...AWESOME

Your slot machine analogy is more relevant to Adam Diamondbolt and George Dagga Button Smashers because George does the pokies.

I'm glad you like them!

could you please tell me, why the variable ratio reinforcement is so addictive? I mean what is the psychology behind it? why we get addicted to it, when we don't know when we are getting rewarded? im searching so much but i can not find the answer

I'm not too familiar with the neuroscience, but it really has to do with how the belief that we will EVENTUALLY get a reward never goes extinct. There is always a chance and so our brain keeps the relation between the action and the reward. If the action never leads to a reward or it reliably stops leading to a reward, then our brain will not connect the action and the reward. This is why it's addicting - the continuous association despite the small odds.
