80 - Social Media, Cigarettes, And Where To Draw The Line

In this episode, I’m going to talk about how social media is just as addictive as cigarettes or any other powerful drug. The reason people get so hooked on it is that our lives are boring and we always need that instant high of Dopamine. Many studies have shown that social media addiction is indeed real, and for social media companies, it’s all for their financial gain and nothing more. Question is; does the end justify the means when it comes to using social media to get a message out?
