Thoughts on instagram reels/short videos and productivity?

[Jesus_ist_König]

Short-form videos, being self-stimulating and content-rich, capture attention with minimal psychological effort. Prolonged consumption of such content may primarily engage the lower-order cortical brain regions, such as those associated with emotional processing, and suppress activity in higher-order areas responsible for self-control and attention.

Thing is nigga, I enjoy watching edits of ppl and stuff, yet shit makes you addicted.

Pros:
Dopamine
Reminds me of how ugly I am and pushes me to improve stuff

Cons:
A shit ton of cope looksmaxxing methods that just spike my cortisol
Addiction
Shorter attention span = less productivity

The only thing that I like is that those videos remind me of how ugly I am and then they push me to do stuff.

For example for the past months i didnt have that and due to not having that I barely did anything for my looks, now that I watch them again im doing stuff for my looks

I dont know thought?

in terms of productivity reels are useless
the only benefit in reels is hobbies, such as fighting tips from accounts based on that or whatever
reels is basically just a distraction that rots your brain

I got called Hitler irl once though by some girl because they saw some reels I liked, probably a good idea to be more selective with what I like publicly

Water but kinda solid 2. These bp edits really make me aware of my ugliness and make me more productive in terms of looksmaxxing stuff

more productive in terms of looksmaxxing

yea it depends on your algorithm if it increases motivation then its good
but obviously not all reels are like that and it pulls you in with the dopamine brainrot content

Productivity is cope if you are sub HTN, anyway.

Im talking about those videos:

Spoiler

Some of em make me sad which indirectly motivates me to do more looksmaxxing related stuff etc. call me corny but it is that way

 

[Hess]

Its enjoyable at times but I think just keeping it in moderation will just be ok
