Hello, /lit/!

I've come here asking for help. In recent times I've begun looking at booktoks (tiktok videos about books, whoda thunk it) and have come to really enjoy them. The thing is, it is distracting me from getting any major reading done (right now trying to get through Bergson's "Matter and Memory"). Furthermore, I recently began reading a biography of Billie Eilish (for the purpose of a Marxist critique of idols), but the more I read it, the more I sympathize with her as a person and have developed sort of an obsession with watching her interviews and listening to her songs. What is this a sign of? Autism? Mental regress? Does anyone have similar experiences?

And most importantly: Are there any books on this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Get off tiktok, it is bad for your brain and attention span, I mean really bad. All social media is, this site included, but tiktok is somehow far worse than all the rest.

I know it's bad, but I just can't stop. It's a genuine compulsion I have with it and I don't know how to break it. Do you have any tips on how to?

Best option: sell the phone, buy a flip phone

Next best option: Delete the app, or install an app that blocks you from using certain apps

Third best option: Use an app like Forest to reward you for not going on your phone for periods of time

It's the sign of your beta personality. You instantly submit to anyone who is speaking to you. You align yourself with their views and you empathize with their struggles. You basically hold no views of your own and just adopt the ones you think will cause the most alpha person to tolerate you.

TikTok is the worst because it reinforces a short attention span. YouTube for that matter is also bad.

Had the same issue. I just deleted it and forced myself not to use it. After a couple weeks I didn’t really want to use it. Now whenever I watch a tiktok I get a bit disgusted by how weird and sinister the whole thing is, the algorithm really creeps me the fuck out.
