It's what the Facebook executive said earlier in the week.
You get those temporary dopamine hits from people liking your pictures, liking your posts.
If then you go and do that, you scroll through your news feed, you end up more depressed unless you go back and get the dopamine hit of the likes on your posts and pictures.
So that's how they get you hooked.
If you are receiving this transmission, you are the resistance.
We have an article up on Infowars.com right now.
Headline, Facebook admits social media harmful to mental health.
I also saw this out of CNBC. Facebook just admitted that using Facebook can be bad for you.
Facebook's Director of Research, David Ginsberg, and research scientist Amora Burke said a post which addressed the questions about Facebook has on our moods revealed some compelling information.
Basically, they said that if you read Facebook for 10 minutes...
That is the home page, the scrolling news feed of Facebook.
You're in a worse mood at the end of the day than students who are assigned to post or talk to friends on Facebook.
A study from UC San Diego and Yale found that people who clicked on about four times as many links as the average person or who liked twice as many posts reported worse mental health than average in a survey.
In other words, if you're using Facebook to mindlessly browse through your feed or click post, you may end up in a foul mood after.
But then they found that you were in a better mood if you got those dopamine hits from people liking your posts.
In other words, using Facebook to interact with people as opposed to just browsing seemed to have a positive effect on people.
So again, it's what the Facebook executive said earlier in the week.
You get those temporary dopamine hits from people liking your pictures, liking your posts.
If then you go and do that, you scroll through your newsfeed, you end up more depressed unless you go back.
And get the dopamine hit of the likes on your posts and pictures.
So that's how they get you hooked.
This is why it is tearing apart the social fabric of how society works.
I have no idea why anyone would want to be on social media if they didn't have to be.
Like, unless you're promoting something, unless it's some kind of creative enterprise that you want to draw attention to, unless you're in the news business, why on earth would you be on there in the first place if not just to communicate with your immediate family?
I mean, why the hell would you be on there if you didn't need to be on there, if it's making you depressed, if it's a colossal waste of time?
Absolutely insane.
And those studies back that up.
If you are receiving this transmission, you are the resistance.
Donald Trump!
I wrote you, but you still ain't calling.
I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom.
I sent two letters back in autumn.
You must not have got them.
That probably was a problem at the post office or something.
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot them.
But anyways, man, how's your daughter?
I know you probably hear this every day, but I'm your biggest fan.
Anyways, I hope you get this, man.
Hit me back.
Just a chat.
Truly yours.
I can't stand that motherfucker, and I feel like he's not paying attention to me.
Okay.
And I was kind of waiting for him to say something.
Like his Twitter fingers, yeah.
Yeah, and for some reason, he didn't say anything.
Merry Christmas, my fellow InfoWarriors.
Alex Jones here with an extremely exciting announcement that will be a gift to yourself and a gift to the InfoWar to fight the globalists and live in a free society.
I know from using this myself the last few months and from seeing my friends and family use it, that this new product is going to end up being the number one best-selling product at InfoWarsLife.com because it works so well.
It is Alpha Power.
Ladies and gentlemen, Alpha Power is so strong, so concentrated, that quite frankly, a lot of you might want to use some of the other products we've previously come out with that are excellent but aren't anywhere as strong.
It's hard to quantify the stamina, the energy, the libido, the crazed mental focus.
But let me just say this, use this with care.
And alpha power works synergistically with super male vitality and super female vitality.
But I want to be clear.
We could have called this formula something like alpha male or alpha man.
No, it's alpha power because it has incredible effects in women as well.
Ladies and gentlemen, God gave us some incredible gifts through Mother Nature.
And Alpha Power, I know, is going to end up probably being our number one bestseller at InfoWarsLife.com and helping you with your stamina, your life.
It certainly has done that for me and so many others.
And also funding the Information War Against the Globals.
So, Alpha Power, now available at InfoWarsStore.com and InfoWarsLife.com right in time to be under the tree or in the stocking.
This is a gift you want to give yourself.
And then rest assured, you're fighting the InfoWars, so it's a total, absolute, sure win, no lose equation.
But again, don't believe me.
