Social Media Is The World, Not An Escape
- Quitting social media rarely works because social media is embedded in everyday life and behavior, not a separate island.
- Removing platforms without replacing habits usually leads to relapse or worse addiction when returning.
Health Change From Removing Soft Drinks
- The host describes a month in Russia where green tea replaced soft drinks and seemed to improve health dramatically.
- On returning to the U.S., the health gains were traced to stopping soft drinks, not the tea itself.

- Replace undesired behaviours with more fulfilling ones instead of simply cutting platforms out of your life.
- Focus on building substitute rituals that satisfy the same need you used social media for.
