"The algorithm doesn't really know what you want. It just knows what you've tolerated".
Imagine being constantly watched by a digital eye, a cunning entity that knows exactly what you click on and what you linger over. Welcome to the world of 'The Liquid Lie', a clever metaphor coined by Lee Davy in this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast. Lee isn't just any host; he's a man on a mission to expose how alcohol ads sneak into our lives, subtly influencing our choices without us even realising it.
In this thought-provoking episode, Lee shares his personal experience of finding a Heineken ad right in his Gmail inbox. It's not just about the ad itself but the sneaky way it infiltrates our daily digital routine. The episode unravels how algorithms target us based on our online behaviour, pushing alcohol as a symbol of joy and connection. But is it really? Lee challenges you to question these subliminal messages and take back control of your attention.
He doesn't just highlight the problem; he offers a solution too. Lee encourages you to audit your environment, curating what you consume online to protect your mental space. It's about recognising those moments when you're drawn to alcohol-related content and understanding why. Are you reacting to an old memory or a part of yourself that craves something more? This episode is a wake-up call for anyone trying to live an alcohol-free life.
It's about reclaiming your freedom from the digital noise that sells you a false narrative. Lee's passionate and direct approach makes this episode both engaging and empowering, leaving you with a sense of agency over your own life choices. So, are you ready to see through the Liquid Lie and start living life on your terms? Tune in and find out how you can become the threat to the very ads that once targeted you.
