- Dopamine is hijacked everywhere we go. Endlessly scrolling on your phone has existed forever. Except it used to be known as Flipping. Flipping the channels. In this video, I examine all the ways that flipping ruins everything it touches. From TV to Tik Tok to RUclips to the news. Even streaming content and binging can be bad for you if you do it enough. And I also talk about the science behind what flipping and distraction does to our brains and our good friend dopamine.

i love your essay format
My RUclips addiction is The Dusty Smith Show....it's on Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays with segments like Chud Watch, Religious Bullshit, Karens, etc.
I see you’re finding you feet a little with your content here on RUclips this style of video was really good I love your perspective
Great video Dan. It's interesting to consider how and why longform podcasts became so popular in this environment. That's my personal addiction, but it also means I'd rather listen to Sam Harris talk about meditation for 3 hours rather than actually do it myself lol.
Yes! I think it's the allure of being able to put something on and not think about it for a while. I find if I put a non fiction audio book on it makes me think I'm doing something good for myself too.
Came here from "X" Loved it sir!
Thanks for some great insite into my addiction
Thanks stranger!! I didn't even know you could give money in a comment lol
Yes😊😊
"Only" 50 channels??
We had two.
This is great information and a well thought-out video. I can tell you put a lot of work into this, man. Thank you.
Thanks so much! I really enjoy making this kind of thing I'm glad you liked it :)
Thanks!
Thank you stranger!!
You and I have similar watch habits
When i was younger my grandma wouldnt let me watch spongebob because she said it killed my braincells😅. Also love that shirt!
And look how you turned out!
My personal method of avoiding being so addicted to flipping is to be creative. I had TikTok for a while, and it was a hidden blessing to being banned from it for being too mean 😂
I continue to write my fiction, exercise, and if I do watch stuff, it’s not flipping stuff except for maybe a touch here and there like in RUclips shorts.
Frankly, flipping is BORING very quickly for me. It’s weird that so many can keep doing it for ages.
I’m also curious as to whether some of what you talked about in relation to television shows is a particularly American issue. A lot of the sensationalist shit tv and even the news corporations exist strongest in the US by what I’d say is a long shot.
Could it be an American culture issue more so than a flipping or tv issue?
😊😊😊
Cute _and_ smart!
Haha thanks :))
Sorryyyy I was wqccum so I not lsiten to u 😅😅😅
The only people i know who use tik tok are children or grown ups who have cognitive challenges lol smh And I hate to burst your bubble but I watched a crapload of tv in my time on earth - two Bachelors degrees and the highest GRE scores in the nation, three novels and two children later... and I'm still watching via internet.
The fact is, an unintelligent person will not be made smarter by television, but the reverse is also true - it has no power to steal your brain cells, you already didn't have any.
Wow I'm honored you'd comment on my little insignificant video then! I hope you watched till the end where I mentioned that it's not necessarily a bad thing if you can get all your other stuff done. Also I know my dad doesn't watch Tik Tok, but he does scroll through Instagram reels which is essentially the same thing. RUclips shorts, same thing. Tik Tok, I have to say, surprised me with how well it knew what I wanted to see. Seinfeld clips, Simpsons Clips, Family Guy clips, Pro Wrestling from the 90s, The Backrooms, 90s commercials. there was even this guy who made videos from the Everglades where he walked through showing all the animals. He was crazy.
