The Real Price of Social Media: Your Data and Time

You think social media is for free. Well, you pay with your data and time, and your data is valuable.
Ever thought about the true cost of using social media? In this eye-opening episode of 'SocialMediaBreakup', Johan takes a deep dive into how social media platforms, while seemingly free, come at a significant price—your data and your time. It's easy to get lost in endless scrolling, but have you ever wondered why it's so hard to stop?
Johan breaks down how these platforms are designed to keep you hooked, collecting every bit of data they can while you scroll, like, and share. The episode uncovers the tactics used by social media companies to monetize your attention. They know your preferences better than your closest friends, predicting what you'll want to see next. This isn't just about ads; it's about creating a digital environment that keeps you engaged for as long as possible.
The more time you spend, the more data they gather, and the more money they make. Essentially, you're not the customer; you're the product. Johan doesn't just highlight the problem; he offers practical advice to help you regain control over your digital life. From setting boundaries to understanding the psychology behind your screen habits, you'll find actionable tips to reduce your phone and social media use without going cold turkey.
Whether it's about managing screen time or practicing 'intermittent smartphone fasting', Johan provides a relatable and supportive guide to healthier digital habits. This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling overwhelmed by their digital consumption. It's not about quitting social media altogether but learning to use it in a way that enhances rather than detracts from your life. Tune in to discover how you can take back control and make your digital habits work for you, not against you.
