A newly-launched social media platform, known as “Bond” is aiming to fix the toxic feedback loops of modern social media by using AI to help you remain active in the real world.

Are you the one who wakes up, grabs the phone and immediately starts scrolling through bad news, or endless TikToks? By the time you are done doing this, an hour has already passed and you find that your mood has taken up the backseat.

Just wonder what if a social media platform actually helped you stop looking at your screen? A newly-launched social media platform, known as “Bond” is aiming to fix the toxic feedback loops of modern social media by using AI to help you remain active in the real world.

What Is Doomscrolling And Why Does It Feel Addictive?

Doomscrolling is the compulsive act of scrolling through negative news or feeds, even when it makes you feel anxious, angry or sad. It's powered by algorithms designed to keep you engaged, usually by triggering emotional reactions.

The Problem With The Current Social Media

Most of the social media platforms are built around “hooks” that maximize time spent scrolling. They rely on unpredictable rewards and endless feeds, turning users into passive consumers. 

Driven by brain's craving for information and driven alterness, this behavior is fueled by endless, algorithm based feeds on platforms like Instagram, which results into increased anxiety, depression and significant time loss. Research study also reveals that humans are wired to pay more attention to potential threats, like "negative news" that makes them engaged for a longer duration. Credits: Google

People are tired of being the “highest paid intern” in their own lives, managing their digital persona instead of living real-life moments.

How Bond App Uses AI To Fight Doomscrolling?

Bond is a new social media platform, takes a unique approach to this problem. Instead of keeping you engaged in infinite scrolling, it focuses on post-feed social networking.

Bond uses AI to curate your intimate and personal memories rather than pushing algorithmic content from strangers or doom-inducing headlines.

4 Tips To Take Back Control

While new tools like Bond are promising, reclaiming your time requires intentionality, like:

You can use your phone’s built-in “screen time” to lock apps like Instagram or other social media platforms after every 30 minutes. 

If you are spending time in procrastinating, commit to doing atleast one, small productive task, no matter how you feel. Credits: Google

Also, if you like scrolling, then change what you consume as a content. Maybe you can shift the content towards investing, educational or creative apps.

Take one day off from technology to focus more on your specific physical environment.

If you are procrastinating due to scrolling, set a timer for 5 minutes and commit to doing one, small productive task, no matter how you feel. 

As we move away from toxic engagement, platforms like Bond show that AI can be used for good purpose too, like helping us building bonds and connecting with the real world in a better way. Credits: Google
