Why Being Offline Has Become the Ultimate Status Symbol

from The Brink - Mental Health Demystified · host The Brink with Matt Hussey

We were promised infinite information would make us smarter. Instead, it made restraint aspirational. In this episode, I explore the rise of "content diets," why spending less time online is now a signal of power, and how mental health, class, and identity quietly collided in the attention economy. Being offline helps - but it also means something now.
