You’re Not Broken — You’re Just the Target
This video takes a critical look at the modern 'wellness' industry, questioning its effectiveness and impact. It explores how social media and health trends often create a comparison trap, pushing individuals towards performative self-care. We examine the psychology behind wellness marketing and the broader consumerism that drives these trends.The wellness industry, self-care culture, and modern self-improvement didn’t make you feel broken by accident. This video explores wellness capitalism, optimization culture, and why you feel like a project instead of a person.
Modern self-care was supposed to help us heal. Instead, it became another system telling us we’re not doing enough, buying enough, or becoming enough. From productivity routines and biohacking to wellness influencers and Ozempic culture, this video breaks down how being human quietly turned into a performance.
Using philosophy, psychology, and cultural critique, we look at how optimization replaced authenticity, how wellness became prescriptive, and why so many people feel empty even when they’re “doing everything right.”
This isn’t a video about quitting health or rejecting growth. It’s about questioning a system that treats human beings like unfinished products — endlessly optimized, endlessly marketed to, and never quite complete.
You’re not broken.
You were never broken.
You’re just the target.
