I quit my PhD | What to do with this clickbait nonsense
With so many people trying to become youtube stars, it seems the minute the algorithm knows you’re interested in your PhD you’ll start seeing tons of videos with people saying “I quit my PhD” or “academia is so toxic”. And then you come to find out they already did their PhD and are super successful now, and are just building a social media following for the views and ad dollars.
I’m going to break down why people post this kind of content, and what you should do about it.
Our brains are smart, and also dumb. Even when we know this content is made to get clicks and views, our brain still soaks it up as “fact” and this hurts our ability to create big things.
Be careful what content you consume.
Hopefully, if you’re all in on your PhD this resonates and reminds you how capable you are and how many opportunities you will create for yourself with Dr. in front of your name.
