1. Feeds are full, Minds are empty
posted on: 29-05-2026
Not just information overload — something deeper. The emotional incentive is gone. The feeling that you did something, learned something, earned something. It's been replaced by a feed that never ends.
I saw someone say he quit social media because of a reel. A guy had posted a video of himself reaching the peak of Mount Everest. He quit because he realized — nobody is supposed to see the peak of Everest while sitting on a couch eating junk food. That experience belongs to the person who earned it.
Watching it from your phone is a cheap copy of a feeling you were never meant to feel. The kids are getting cooked the worst.
We grew up fighting about Ronaldo vs Messi, Ajith vs Vijay. Stupid arguments. But they were shared. Every kid in school had the same feed — the same films, the same matches, the same nonsense. Today each kid lives inside his/her own algorithmic bubble. They don't even have a niche. They have a feed. That's not culture. That's isolation with a screen.
Being offline is the new luxury. It's crazy to think about — we all craved the internet once. Now we're moving away because we're getting too cooked. People who don't belong to the herd are already leaving. And people like me, who were junkies scrolling all day, one day just sat on the bed and thought about it.
The solution isn't quitting. It's creating — anything. The internet has given enough. It's time to give back. There's a negative incentive in pure consumption now. You're not consuming social media anymore. Social media is consuming you.
