I’ve been addicted for 11 years. It stops now.

Описание: Let’s be honest. It’s not just the "bad" sites anymore. It’s Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts—the algorithm is designed to keep us hooked on soft-core distractions. For 11 years, I’ve battled this addiction, and today, I’m taking accountability.
In this video, I’m talking about the "digital dopamine" that is ruining our ability to have genuine relationships. I’m talking about the brain rot, the desensitization, and the feeling of "soft cheating" on a future partner I haven't even met yet.

I was terrified to upload this. I was scared of the digital footprint. But I realized that silence is worse. We need to talk about what this content is doing to young men. Willpower isn't enough—we need a replacement. For me, it's the gym. For you, it might be something else. But we have to wake up.

If you are struggling with the same thing, you are not alone. Let’s fix this together.
