I’m deleting Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Threads, X, and even YouTube Studio from my phone for 30 days. Why? Because as a creator, I realized I wasn’t just a consumer of social media anymore — I was stuck in digital incarceration. Like Lupe Fiasco said in Prisoner 1 & 2, the officer is a prisoner too.

In Episode 005 of The Broken Traditions Podcast with Leron Gaskins, I break down the hidden mental toll of analytics, the rise of creator burnout, and why even content creators need therapy to handle the stress of likes, comments, and engagement. I’ll also reveal my personal 30-day detox plan and how you can follow along with my daily video journals on Patreon (Free For 7 Days) and YouTube Memberships.
