Deep Analysis Of Instagram (you will delete it after reading this... hopefully)

[TheRealKD]

I decided to share my deep analysis of social media (mainly Instagram). This was written long ago in my iNotes but I decided to share it because it may help others significantly. By the way, this is related to Hyperreality #4: Hyper-personality from UNSCRIPTED . Please note that this analysis is about using Instagram for personal purposes, not business purposes.

Deep Research and Analysis Of Social Media
Main Social Media Platform: Instagram

Biggest Negatives Of Instagram (Summary):

• 100+ negatives and almost 0 benefits of using Instagram for personal purposes (different than business purposes)
• wastes time & significantly interferes with short-term and long-term goals (you can never get back time)
• checking up on people’s lives for no reason instead of levelling up yourself = super waste
• changes your brain negatively through neuroplasticity (worst)
• hurts short-term and long-term ability to focus
• hurts short-term and long-term attention span
• hurts short-term and long-term ability to be productive
• hurts short-term and long-term ability to sustain concentration
• huge negative cognitive effects in the long-term
• hurts dopamine receptors in your brain
• interacting in a fake, unrealistic, fantasy world where only 1-2% is real, 98-99% is fake
• am I making more money for myself or am I just making Instagram money?

What You Will Miss Out On If Deleted:

• subconscious comparison to fake lives and a fake reality
• subconscious false-estimation of your social status in the social hierarchy
• gossip
• memes
• funny videos
• info on people’s lives
• narcissists (“me, me, me, look at me, look what I’m doing”)
• rare important news
• the feeling of “FOMO” and being lonely
• worrying about what other people are doing = HUGE waste of time
• possible sexual interactions
• short-term entertainment and humour (dopamine)
• Instagram models and “soft porn”

Biggest Benefits Of Deleting Instagram:

• saving TIME (can never get it back)
• more TIME to:
  • achieve my goals
  • level up bank account
  • level up business
  • level up health/body/mind
  • level up real relationships
  • level up happiness and fulfillment
• improved attention span
• improved focus
• improved deep work ability
• increase in productivity
• increase in happiness
• spending attention wisely
• spending time wisely
• accelerated path to achieving goals
• AND PREVENTING ALL NEGATIVES MENTIONED

1. Bill Gates & Warren Buffets #1 Word & Secret For Success = Focus
2. Biggest Obstacle To Success = Opposite of Focus
3. Opposite of Focus = Distraction
4. Biggest Distraction = Your Phone + Social Media + Other People

Instagram Users + App:

• people show the rare 98% of their life (highlight reel)
• people show fake happiness and fulfillment
• this causes a fear of missing out
• this causes comparison, which is the #1 source of unhappiness in humans
• worst part: comparison to unrealistic and fake reality/world where people only show their best and brightest moments
• similar to watching a 2-minute highlight video of a 90-minute soccer game
• constantly checking your social hierarchal status on a fake social network
• huge suffering from contrast bias and comparison to a fake reality
• #1 source of unhappiness: comparison
  • “Don’t worry about what anybody else is doing. Focus on yourself. Life-long habit of not worrying about anybodies life.”
  • "The people who care less about what other people think about them tend to have a better life.”- Gary Vaynerchuk
  • “Social media has created jealous behaviour over illusions. Some of you are envious of things, relationships, and lifestyles that don’t even exist.”
  • worrying about what other people are doing = HUGE waste of time
• study shows that 60% of Instagram posts are selfies (6 out of 10 posts)
• selfies = “me, me, me, me, me, me, look at me, look what I’m doing”
• 98% of things are fake/unrealistic on Instagram
• Instagram is a highlight-reel, everybody shows the 2% of rare highlights in their lives
• nobody shows their real self-image on social media
• ex. girls take 60 pictures to find 1 that looks the best

Instagram Users:

• the most active people on Instagram are the ones who have a lot of psychological problems
• the 70% of people in the world with psychological problems can mostly be found on Instagram
• Instagram is full of narcissists
• High Narcissism people
• High Machiavellian people
• High Psychopathy people
• Instagram is the absolute BEST environment for:
  • high narcissism people
  • high proud/pride
  • posers and fake people (high narcissism and high mack)
• very easy to fake a life/lifestyle
  • ex. fyre festival
  • ex. people paying Instagram picture studios in a private jet
  • ex. fake “entrepreneurs”
• the users of the app are not to blame because it’s basic human psychology; blame the engineers and developers and people that are profiting from our attention and psychological tendencies (Instagram/Mark Zuckerberg)

Instagram App:

• designed by the SMARTEST people who understand human psychology and behaviour
• designed to take as much ATTENTION as possible from you per day
• their intelligence = millions of dollars for Instagram.. they’re smart
• social media and Instagram is constructed around envy and increases envy
• Jealousy: sometimes motivational jealousy
• Envy: social frustration and seeking the worst for people
• Envy and Jealousy encourages repeat app opens and stalking (spending more time)
• Love and Happiness DOES NOT encourage repeat app opens and stalking, the developers know this
• Facebook engineers admitted that they built ADDICTION into the platforms by fostering negative emotions and pathology (envy, jealousy, etc.)
• literally designed to be addictive and designed for compulsive checking and attention- addictive curiosity
• similar to the slot machine at casinos
• THE NEED TO CHECK YOUR PHONE = an addiction (not normal)

Instagram and Dopamine:

• social media gets you to react (short-term dopamine)
• short term dopamine driven feedback loops = detrimental to brain
• negative neuroplasticity and significantly hurts dopamine receptors
• you are being programmed to change your brain in a positive way for Instagram and a negative way for yourself
• Instagram developers leverage this dopamine to get your addicted

There Will Be 2 Groups of Human Psychology In The World Soon:

1. People Who Use Social Media
2. People Who Don’t Use Social Media

• both lives will be significantly different
• both psychologies will be significantly different
• it will be the biggest binary group in the world
• people with social media will have the most psychological problems
• people without social media will have the least psychological problems
• similar to 75% of the world having a disease and 25% being healthy

Instagram Brain Effects and All Negative Effects:

• Instagram Changes Your Brain Through Neuroplasticity
• Focus, Attention Span, Productivity, Time
  • decreases attention span significantly
  • decreases ability to focus significantly
  • you lose your ability to sustain concentration (neuroplasticity)
  • changes your brain
  • hurts productivity significantly
  • time-killer
  • creates compulsive checking habit
  • constantly checking phone = fragmented attention = neuroplasticity = can permanently hurt long-term ability to sustain attention and focus
  • hurts dopamine receptors in your brain
• Socially
  • makes you less social
  • hurts social skills and fakes social life
  • decreases self-esteem
  • decreases happiness due to comparison
  • limits face to face interactions
  • creates a “FOMO” and makes you believe that you’re out of the loop
  • social media makes you feel lonely on Friday and Saturday nights cause people are posting their highlights but never Monday or Sunday

What Instagram Usually Gets Used For:

• social positioning in the hierarchy
• competition
• information collecting
• sexual purposes
• social life

Instagram & Mark Zuckerberg HOPE FOR:

• lonely people
• separated people
• nerd-like people
• socially awkward people
• psychologically unstable people (narcissists)

..... because these kinds of people spend the most time on Instagram and provide significant profits

Social media apps will obliterate any threats that will decrease time spent on their apps.
The biggest threat to them:

• a mature person
• a healthy person
• a self-aware person
• a person who knows everything mentioned in this note
• THEY NEED YOUR ATTENTION
• THEY MONETIZE YOUR ATTENTION AND NEED YOUR EYEBALLS
• ANYTHING THAT COMPETES WITH THEM FOR YOUR ATTENTION = THREAT
• Facebook does not allow Google to crawl their database
• Anything that takes you away from Instagram = THREAT
