I’m part of that 22% of millennials feeling burnt out daily, and I’ve noticed my go-to "escape" is just browsing porn videos until I fall asleep. It’s like I’m trying to numb the anxiety of the workday. I recently read that seeking "immediate rewards" is a rational response to economic turbulence, which made me feel a bit better about it. But I still want to find a way to decompress that doesn't leave me feeling more tired the next day. Does anyone else use adult content as a "cortisol valve," and have you found better ways to vent that stress?

I just noticed this thread while I was looking for some info on the 2026 digital media monitor report. It’s a very honest look at how we’re all coping with the "sustained uncertainty" of the world right now. It seems like the human element is still the most important factor in how we navigate these digital ecosystems. I don’t have much to add since I’m usually focused on the numbers, but I appreciate the candidness of the discussion here. It’s a very supportive community you’ve built. Hope you all find some genuine peace this weekend!
