Quit Twitter.

I understand that Twitter’s got you hooked for any reason. It’s normal. It’s supposed to work that way, either by you desperately trying to chase clout anywhere or either by you attempting to get a shot of the latest news. Doesn’t matter, it hooked you. It owns you. You are owned by Twitter. And you wanna know how to not be dominated by it?

By quitting it.

Now this is a piece of advice that comes from me to y’all: Twitter is a cesspool. Doomscrolling is dominating your lifestyle so much that it even affects your day-to-day life. And even if any tweet of yours goes viral, you’ll never win. Because the top winner is always Twitter HQ getting the cut of the ad revenue from everyone like you.

Look: I got one half of my Twitter presence banned already, and I couldn’t tell you how much liberating the feeling of not having to look at you clowns doompost all day. I only use Twitter for professional purposes, to post whatever articles I post in the website, to announce games, to announce marketing babble, and that’s it. I don’t overshare lately my personal life over on Twitter nor doompost like a moron. EZ PZ. And my mental health wins at this rate, because I don’t have to generate anxiety on me for all the doomscrolling from clowns who blackpill everyone all day.

Social media is designed like gambling in mind, designed so you keep scrolling and posting in hopes you get a goddamn jackpot of virality, but chances are, you’re overspending more of your mental energy and health into it than the little dopamine you earn.

So best chances is: quit it. At the end of the day, you’re feeding the mouths of social media billionaire executives who sit and do nothing and watch how their profits skyrocket from doomscrolling clowns like you. If you don’t play their game, you’ll never lose at it. It’s that goddamn simple.

Hell, we live even in a world where, because of social media, people commit suicide. Social media can kill people. Don’t be like one of those people. Take care of yourselves first. Do some exercise, eat healthy, find a better hobby… whatever it is that is not doomscrolling on Twitter all night long. Enjoying IRL has got you better chances of improving your mental and general well-being than this Twitter bullshit.

I’m just saying.
