Scrolling 2 Death Podcast

Scrolling 2 Death was born from a simple concern about our kids and social media. After 15 years running a successful social media marketing business, Nicki Reisberg started to ask questions. ...Why are people spending so much time on platforms that make them feel worse? ...Why are we so focused on portraying a fake version of ourselves? ...And most importantly, why are we letting our vulnerable children access addictive and harmful spaces online? Nicki began digging in. The research was hard to find, but it was there. Social media use is bad for kids. Our children are more hopeless, anxious, depressed, and suicidal than they ever have been recorded history. And if we had to point at the main cause, it would be directly in the face of social media platforms and the executives who run them. In late 2023, Nicki launched Scrolling 2 Death, a podcast for parents who are worried about social media. It’s a space to amplify the stories of harm, while educating parents on how to keep their kids safe in a world that is trying to addict and manipulate them with every scroll. Every parent who has lost a child to an online harm deserves to be heard. We cannot let Big Tech's lobbying, gaslighting campaigns and research funding drown out the voices of parents. We have to be diligent and clear in our work as a society united. We cannot let companies put their profits before children’s lives. One death is too many. Despite social media platforms like Snapchat and Meta knowing full well that their platforms instigate harm, they continue to plow ahead, making no significant changes to protect our children.
