I remember seeing a screen and being curious about how it can display such icons and interactions with silica and electricity. That's what got me into computers. I instantly fell in love with how I can implement logic in the form of code. I enjoyed competitive programming a lot because it was great mental exercise for me. Coding was my hobby and I'm grateful that I got to do what I enjoyed at work. Enter Instagram and the whole influencer economy. Apparently everybody is travelling. Everyone is having the time of their life. Every cs graduate fresh out of college is an influencer on LinkedIn and is launching their youtube channel. A decade ago, social media used to be about just friends and family. Nowadays, scrolling through social media feels like if you don't have a really good body, don't have any alternate income streams and are not going out in the sun every day, you're not living your life and are a loser. I'm inclined to throw Blind as well in the basket with all the tc chasing. My point is that all of these have been huge distractions for me and I can no longer code just for the fun of it, sitting in peace without any fear of missing out on something else. Include visa stress on top of that and it sucks out the last shred of focus. It has started to affect my productivity and I've been losing motivation to work. End of rant. Tc: 320k
Thanks just delete blind and don't let the YouTubers get to you
lmao imagine actually living the influencee lifestyle
Lol thats why I deleted insta Now i watch youtube shorts🤣
TikTok is so much worse.
Gladly I'm not on TikTok. Never have been.
Blind influencers are worse. Now I only want to shitpost to become Blind MVP
You won't get the MVP badge if you shit post. They changed the rules
Op, the truth is that this is a you problem. They suck a lot but it's on you to stop letting it get in the way of your life. You are the one holding the gun to your own head to keep on scrolling, why?
It ain’t easy for them either. We only see what they show us lol.
I’ve seen a instagram influencer couple take pictures in the wildflower fields outside of LA. When we passed the spot on the way back (at least 5-6 hours later) they were still at it 😂 imagine spending 8 hours a day trying to get the right shot sitting in a field of flowers 🤡
They're salesmen trying to sell you an ideal

Delete instagram then
Easier said than done. I know I'll come back. Also, it's not just Instagram. Other platforms too, but yes, insta is the worst. Apart from that, I actually do need to be connected with close friends and family.
Close friends and family can be texted and calls. Not good excuses
