The Attention Trap: How Social Media Hacks Your Brain (Ethical Breakdown)

Social media addiction isn’t just “lack of discipline”—it’s predictable psychology and design. In this video, you’ll learn the mechanisms that keep you scrolling and a simple, ethical Influence Blueprint to regain control of your attention. We’ll break down what’s happening under the hood: variable rewards, social proof and FOMO, commitment and identity pressure, reciprocity obligation, authority/status cues, scarcity, emotional contagion, and frictionless design like infinite scroll. Then you’ll get practical counters you can use immediately: labeling the mechanism in real time, asking one calibrated question to interrupt autopilot, and adding small friction back into your environment—without extreme detoxes or shame-based rules.
