Brainrot and the Attention Economy

Brainrot isn't just a meme anymore, it's literally rewiring how Gen Z thinks. Scientists found

that people who consume over four hours of skibidi toilet and subway surfers daily show

decreased attention spans and altered dopamine responses. Your brain starts craving that constant

stimulation. The scary part? Companies know this. They're designing apps specifically

to trigger these patterns. TikTok's algorithm isn't random, it's calculated

to keep you scrolling. Every swipe releases dopamine, creating an addiction loop.

The solution isn't deleting apps, it's building awareness of when you're being manipulated and

setting hard boundaries before your brain literally changes shape.
