At the outset, the term "brain rot" symbolizes a modern metaphor coined by the British Oxford University Press to denote the deterioration of an individual's mental state due to excessive consumption of trivial content on the internet. Some may see that engaging in social media for long hours is a great pleasure unmatched by anything else in today's world. Undoubtedly, browsing social media sites can bring immediate happiness and a sense of comfort and productivity. Those who watch WhatsApp groups know what I'm talking about; everyone shares various materials, and there is a sense of competition and bickering in those groups. As for TikTok, it is the star of the moment for all age groups. An individual can now travel alone without fear of isolation or loneliness as long as they have their phone with them and an internet connection, as these sites can give you the feeling that you know all the news and information about everything happening not just in your city or country, but everywhere in the world. These sites have created stars and celebrities in every culture and country, often characterized by naivety and superficiality, yet they attract millions of followers. Despite regulations and laws, controlling what is posted on these accounts is difficult and nearly impossible. Even though we acknowledge the naivety of these celebrities, we find ourselves following them for long hours, and in the end, you wonder what you gained from this following; it turns out to be zero and may have negative effects on our way of thinking and dealing with the circumstances around us in reality.
The belief that the state of "brain rot" can be cured by reducing internet usage hours, especially on social media, through creating new habits and engaging in sports or collective hobbies like drawing or music may sometimes be true. When there are suitable conditions, this escapist addictive practice may be the only way for self-entertainment away from societal scrutiny. We now see different people in public places behaving strangely due to their engagement in browsing materials on these sites, which take them far away from reality and give them the feeling that they can solve the world's problems with their comments on materials and articles on the internet. They threaten, prohibit, and analyze everything that does not align with their convictions, and many follow them in this behavior. For instance, YouTube, which I believe is one of the best products of the information revolution, offers useful and serious content in most fields. However, I have noticed that some benefit from various lectures but dislike the presence of accompanying music in those useful programs. Their primary concern is the presence of music, and they repeat that it is forbidden in their comments, making music the issue, far removed from the core issue at hand.
In conclusion, from the real scene before us, we find disasters for some of us who open the microphone and film between heaven and earth, speaking without scrutiny and sober thinking, harming themselves and their interests. The virtual audience is unforgiving and may interpret what they see or hear far from the intended meaning. This is the nature of the audiences of these social media platforms, and there are many examples. The coming decades may bring us the existence of medical clinics that treat the "brain rot" of some of us in light of these wrong behaviors we engage in with social media.
