Welcome to "Tech Talk with Harshit." I'm Harshit, and in today's episode, we unravel the "Dark Side of Instagram Reels." This purple pain, as I like to call it, has subtly become more impactful than we might realise.
Since its launch in August 2020, Instagram Reels has gripped Indian Gen Zs, with an average of 300–400 Reels consumed daily. The addictive design, with quick content shifts triggering dopamine releases, keeps us hooked, often leading to hours spent scrolling.
If you find yourself caught in this cycle, it's crucial to take a step back. Engage in outdoor activities, learn something new, read a book—anything to break the scroll cycle and keep your mind active.
