    Just wanted to remind myself and everyone that these two seemingly inoffensive web sites are actually filled with softcore pornography.

    P.S.: For women, they are even more dangerous than for men. Men get stimulating images and videos. Women get that as well as tons of unearned attention and (fake) appreciation. It is a sure way to mess up the brain of the average girl.

    If anyone hasn't noticed, industry insiders like Tristan Harris who used to be a high level Google product manager has flat out admitted these platforms are addictive by design. I just posted a link to an article where a former VP at Facebook said the same thing. A while back a piece Anderson Cooper did interviewed a guy who founded Dopamine Labs, where they intentionally apply neurobiology. It's known that tech people are really careful and shield their children from it, because of course they know how powerful it is.

    Turn on safety mode if it bothers you.

    Honestly I think Vimeo is way more risky than YouTube.

    You see the content I watch on Youtube generates recommended content that does not contain risque crap.

    I have not had such luck with Vimeo.

    I think it varies from person to person tbh.

    I typed that on Nofap, which is on the Firefox browser. The software design is where it makes a difference, and they do specific things on Facebook for example. Funny, I didn't plan on it but since I've been back on Nofap I haven't used social media, just don't feel like it. Not even trying to abstain but it just feels lame.

    Youtube gives you what will make you stay. At one point, the suggestions at their home page were all Family Guy and Dota2 videos for me.

    big problem is that fb has replaced email texting youtube and online message groups for communication very hard to just say no. I play music and write about music and often impossible to learn about gigs any other way. Regardless of the content electronic media but especially fb provides the same kind of hit that porn does without the sexual features, although there are a lot of soft porn operators on fb and ways a porn minded person can use fb to fap.

    Yes, it goes to show todays environment demands a higher level of discipline - or one can go with the flow and be swept up by the contemporary norm and be as oblivious as the rest of the population.

    Your right pages such as FB, YT,SC,IG is softcore but we cannot quit it because doing that will just make nofap a burden and full of cencorship.

    What do you mean full of censorship?? I can kind of understand a burden I guess if you don't think it is as fun but.. Do you mean like blocking? It's not censorship if you just don't want to see it. A lot of people in technology, like in high places doing research have NO social media pages at all.
