Episode description

Alex from The Big Smoke joins Jacq and Dene to talk social media and our increasingly addictive use of Instagram.

Is Instagram holding back likes?

The answer is ‘yes’, and our brains are responding to this like dopamine!

With research finding that Instagram is holding back ‘likes’ in an attempt to encourage more users, Alex chats about what it means for the average user. With findings that suggest our brains respond to Instagram by producing dopamine, we can see why this tiny app has taken over many Australians lives.
