Abstract

The phenomenon of brainrot, or intellectual decline due to excessive information consumption, has become a serious issue in the digital era. Brainrot affects information literacy, knowledge management, and decision-making. This study employs a qualitative method with non-participatory observation to avoid bias. Data is obtained from social media through observations and screenshots of behaviors, expressions, and interaction patterns in reels, photos, and comments. The instruments used include internet networks, devices, and social media accounts. The research findings indicate that brainrot is triggered by an information tsunami, social media algorithms that prioritize viral content, and low information filtering capabilities. Its impacts include decreased focus, critical thinking, and knowledge management effectiveness at both individual and institutional levels. To address this issue, more adaptive information literacy, better digital time management, and the utilization of artificial intelligence-based technology to filter relevant information are necessary. This study aims to provide a deeper understanding of the process and effects of brainrot, as well as strategies to overcome it. Structured social media literacy improvement is an essential step in facing digital era challenges and enhancing productivity.

Abstract

The rapid growth of digital technology has shifted the information paradigm and created new challenges. Various social media platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and Facebook allow users to access information continuously. This study used a qualitative approach with a content analysis method consisting of three main stages: description, reduction, and selection. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and focus group discussions (FGDs) when necessary. The results show that social media literacy is a crucial need amidst the high intensity of social media use. Lack of media literacy skills contributes to digital overstimulation among digital information users. Media literacy in this study includes the ability to identify, find, evaluate, use, and acknowledge information sources. Strengthening social media literacy is seen as a relevant strategy to respond to shifts in reading behavior and reduce the negative impacts of digital overstimulation, while strengthening the role of libraries in the digital literacy ecosystem.
