I don’t think we can necessarily stop the production of the content itself, but being one drop in a bucket of consciously avoiding it (much easier said than done) can add up if you act as an encouraging example.
Prioritize long form media; watch movies and read books. Watch only 10-15+ minute YouTube videos, and overall choose your intake with intent. Even long-form articles and essays count.
In terms of making that switch: unplugging and giving your brain some rest can help - taking in so much short-form can drain your mental battery more than you realize. Passive overstimulation from constant media drip adds up. Give yourself time between episodes/movies/what have you to let yourself digest and process what you watched, and take some time to reflect on what you liked and didn’t like about each thing. You don’t have to write it down, but you’d be surprised what the breathing room does in terms of sparking your own thoughts and opinions as well 😄 /gen /pos
Thank you, that clarifies it.
