The latest episode of The Powerful Humans Podcast, hosted by entrepreneur Abhishek Vyas, featured a striking statement from finance educator and motivational speaker Abhishek Kar. In a candid exchange, Kar argued that content has overtaken pornography as the biggest addiction among today’s youth.
Calling it a dangerous yet overlooked reality, Kar said, “The biggest addiction today isn’t porn; it’s content. The endless scrolling, reels, and meaningless consumption on social media are silently killing focus, productivity, and creativity.”
He explained how the constant flood of digital content has become normalized, masking its harmful effects. Kar added, “When a young person spends hours lost in meaningless content, it feels harmless. But over time, it rewires the brain just like any other addiction. It steals time, energy, and potential.”
Host Abhishek Vyas noted that conversations like these are vital for India’s youth, who are navigating not just career and financial challenges but also a growing battle with digital dependency. This episode has generated widespread discussion across social media, with many viewers praising the frank and eye-opening approach of both Kar and Vyas. As digital content continues to dominate daily life, conversations like these are increasingly seen as vital interventions for India’s younger generation.
