  • Social - Viral Culture and Digital Identity - The Algorithms of Doom: How Social Media Broke Our Brains
    Dec 11 2025
    Episode 2 of Social exposes how platforms engineered addiction using casino psychology—pull-to-refresh borrowed from slot machines, infinite scroll eliminating stopping points, and likes triggering dopamine like digital cocaine. VV Steele examines the teen mental health crisis exploding after 2010, with Instagram's own research showing toxicity for teen girls. Discover how filters create body dysmorphia, cyberbullying follows victims home, and sleep deprivation becomes epidemic. Learn how echo chambers and filter bubbles killed shared reality, why false information spreads six times faster than truth, how Facebook's algorithm favored divisive content, and the privacy nightmare where you're not the customer—you're the product being sold.
