My biggest A-Ha moment was realizing that we are the product on social media, not the customer. Platforms make money by selling our attention. That hit hard.

It honestly made me uncomfortable. I always thought I was in control of what I see online, but now I know algorithms are controlling me. It felt kind of creepy.

What Will I Change?

I turned off a bunch of app notifications and started tracking my screen time. I'm also trying not to check my phone first thing in the morning.

Thoughts on Social Media & Safety

I still like social media for staying connected, but I'll be more careful. I want to protect not just my privacy, but my mental health too. The internet can be helpful or harmful depending on how we use it.

Final Reflection

The Social Dilemma opened my eyes. We all need to be more aware of how our data is used and how social media affects our minds. It's not about quitting, it's about being smarter.
