This idea has been brewing in my mind for the last 2 years now, and so I've finally decided to talk about it - I'd love to know if you guys see things the same way, or if you have other ways of looking at it / dealing with these ideas 🙏 To check out 25 Inventions that genuinely blew my mind: th-cam.com/video/suT82AdWfTU/w-d-xo.html
Arun, literally the first one among the largest tech youtubers to put out something this profound. My respect for you has already been high but has now absolutely skyrocketed!
I firmly agree. Which is ironic because I watched this video, in full, off the back of a TH-cam recommendation, it’s a perspective I happen to align with, keeping me on the app, increasing the algorithmic retention rate 😂. Literally all the things you spoke about. Love your content bro.
These companies all want access to Communist China's market. Well, Communist China is run by an evil dictatorship, so these companies are essentially cowtowing to that evil dictatorship. This is what's really driving the insanity. We need to DE-COUPLE from Communist China and their evil dictatorship. Plain and simple.
As a 16 year old i definetly agree. I remember when i was younger i was always possitive about social media and hate on ''boomers'' for saying otherwise but as growing older I'm definetly seeing this now. Social media isn't irl and more kids need to be educated about this
i absolutely agree, I am also 16 years old and our generation grew up with smartphones, now look at us, half of this " Gen-Z " generation is depressed because people at their age on TikTok are living a better life than they are, and the other 49% is just ignoring everything while sitting home all day and looking at their phone. Wtf happened to humanity, we should have never invented the smartphone, that was truly he down-fall of humanity. If this sh*t continues, there won't be a functioning society anymore, we will only be shells of ourselves.
@@lukasgruber You are totally right. I'm 20 years older and worked un IT and coding for 15 years or more. The times when all these tech are beneficial for humanity, inspire us, and help us is long gone, like at least 10 years ago or more. Since then it's not about humanity anymore I can tell you. Only way is to ignore all this, especially your generation and even younger ones. Don't buy the next cool thing Don't spend time on these just go back to your friends and family amd minimize tech. When I or we olders say it, it's just being a stupid boomer. And I'm not even that old to be a boomer, and I work in the field.
I'm not even over exaggerating, this guy is definitely the one of the smartest people on social media, all the information I gained from this channel has really opened my eyes to whats going on in the fake world of the internet. all of it is true like what the hell we should all be wayy more grateful for what we have now. a long time ago people had to send letters to others to support them, but here I am, a 14 yr old kid on a laptop pressing buttons that appear as letters on a screen forming a paragraph that you are reading.
This is what I love about Arun, being a Tech TH-camr and coming out talking about the possible cons of tech advancement isn't something that everyone can do. Thanks for bringing this as a reminder to not get completely absorbed by tech and realize there's a fun happening life outside in the real world too!
What if we would simply program a social network that is open source, does not collect any personal data from you and where you can see exactly what data the algorithm has about you and why it shows you certain things. Where you can see exactly how much time you have spent on the platform today and where you can set yourself daily time limits. We could create an algorithm that promotes positive and genuinely informative content rather than boring lifhacks. The exact opposite of Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and so on. Who would take part?
@@louisberghaus1886 There are already a few, not that many people use them. That's why this seems so amazing. Also the big companies usually just buy them out of existence when they get big enough go be a threat. Obvious example, Facebook - insta, WhatsApp, etc stuff they've Bern acquiring.
I tried that a Month ago,funny enough facebook and Instagram are giving me 30 more days to reconsider before they do what I ordered them to do,Deleting those damn Accounts🤷🏾♂️
I sincerely hope a lot of people watch this video, listen very carefully and actually make a change to their behaviour. When I was on cruise ships I didn't have regular internet access, the only 'entertainment' onboard was interactions with other crew, and it's the happiest I've ever been. No news whatsoever made it through to me, there were no hours spent mindlessly scrolling, there were no echo chambers to become trapped in. It was glorious, and I'm making a conscious decision to live the same way on land.
Unfortunately I don’t think this can be fixed by simply trying to convince people to be more responsible with their decisions. Something is going to need to change about social media and tech itself. I think the biggest problem is all these new ways we interact with the world are designed first and foremost to optimize profit off of us. Our well being is not the first priority.
But why keep them around? Legit do you actually see a point of social media like this its not humanity it's the ones influencing humanity like the zucc and his algorithms.
And I also don't mean get rid of the media but the algorithm if I want to see something I can look up a hash tag or something don't force one one me or the alternate is scrap it all we can't do this anymore
It’s pretty refreshing to see something like this, you’ve covered a lot of things that no one really talks about. Im glad that you decided to take the time to make a video regarding these issues instead of your typical topics. This is one of the many reasons why I love watching your channel. Thank you and keep up the good work!
@@sageobito7232 I have seen that documentary early this year I believe. Once I finished it it seemed like it was exaggerated, until I tought a little bit about it and I was like: "Oh! That's true!"
I didn’t realise how much I ‘chose’ isolation until I went back to the office after almost 2 years of working from home. Our HR had sent us a survey trying to gauge our receptiveness towards returning to the office and the vast majority wanted to continue working from home, including me. I gave a long feedback saying how offices are obsolete and we can work wherever we want so why make it harder for staff by having to commute. But they made it mandatory to come in at least twice a week. After so long, I had forgotten what it felt like to just sit around with colleagues and have a chat about our week and sharing food. It just felt so human and I didn’t notice how much I’ve missed this. I was so used to being a robot at home with minimum interactions with anyone outside of my family. Yes, virtual interactions are a thing but it sure can’t beat the connection you gain from a physical meet-up.
Yes and no, testing equipment makes sure you don't have to buy it and be disappointed. You can make sure you get what you need and not what others are pushing. Obviously only listening to one source of tests is not recommended, but with 4-5 it allows you to limit needless purchases.
Hmm yeah, I sure love suffering through shitty traffic twice a day, five days a week to go sit in an office for 8+ hours for the massive benefit of.... being able to make surface level small talk with my colleagues. I'm good being in control of my own time, and just having my friends to meet up with for social interaction, thank you very much.
maybe instead of going to their own office, people could made local community remote-worker space. so they could still chit chat and has human interaction but dont have to do long commute. they could even walk or bike
If anyone tries to go without their phone for a single day, they will realise how unimportant everything is. Like there will be thousands of tweets trying to cancel someone but put the phone away and it doesn’t matter. I find that fascinating. Great video. Loved it
@GeSusie👠 For example, like status because the people around will be like “Hey I got Gucci bag so I am better then you and more cooler” and just like that it happens on internet. Like “Hey I got this super expensive car and I look more cooler then you”
Careful. I don't disagree with Arun here at all but I do know this is a very touchy subject that many aren't ready to contemplate...could get your teaching career canceled depending on your state/province
@@uuo9151 🤦🏻♀️did I say anything about insulin pumps? No. I’m not talking about that stuff obviously. Talking about Facebook Meta replacing real life. I never said all tech was bad.
You see this comment should be getting thousands of likes, but YT's algorithm is throttling it back. The only part I disagree is that this is not great work, it is not a new phenomena, this is real life, we are bootloading a smarter self reinforcing AI every time we engage social media. And its been happening for years.
Critical thinking needs to be a mandatory class in primary education. Just teaching people how to differentiate between facts and opinions, recognize biases and either support or reject a claim using data and evidence would do wonders for people's ability to engage in normal discourse in society - something that seems like it's just absent nowadays because of the echo chambers and misinformation that social media creates and enables
@@capo_di_capi Yes I understand completely your point, the reason I say great work is due to the way it has been effectively compiled and presented that particular way. It's a sensible length and has a flow that would keep a good percentage of young people engaged in an educational environment I think.
@@F1ll1nTh3Blanks Yes, it's about time people in positions of responsibility woke up and stopped letting so many people very young sleepwalk into this crap. There will always be differences between generations in what is considered reasonable/normal, but I would like so see someones argument for the elements listed here as being improving factors for humanity......
I'm not sure if this is related, but I'm now anxious 100% of the time I'm awake. This is a general, non-specific "blanket" anxiety which is about nothing and everything simultaneously, and it is SO tiring. TH-cam is now the only form of social media that I engage with, having deactivated my Instagram account early last week. I think you're right to be worried about humanity's future, Arun. Thanks for the video.
Yup wish more ‘influencers’ would draw these issues out for people. As you said, most everyone who watches this video will already agree with your contention and arguments, because algorithm. However, if the sentiments and concerns you have brought so much clarity to can be viewed and processed by a wider circle, perhaps we (as a global society) can slow our spiral into the abyss that is already separating the haves and the have nots. Traditional education is not effective enough, unfortunately. That is why, as an educator, I am so glad to see someone who knows and ‘influences’ through the tools that are most effective, speak up and speak out. Kudos.
@CR45H 0V3RR1D3 so, who cares about what you say, then? As someone who deals and works with the younger generations, I must disagree with your sentiment that they are somehow ‘weak minded’. I most often find that they are quite the opposite. If you had paid attention to Arun’s video, you would see that this affects a multitude of modern society. The technologies we use to make our lives easier are controlled and manipulated by those who want and hold power. These technologies condition people from multiple generations to believe that whatever their point of view is, is correct and that that have all the data they need.
I agree with Dave on this one, as a part of younger generations I see my friends are not weak minded. They are very strong minded, but we can get influenced by stupid social media and lose it. I think people should just be more grateful in this world of tech.
This is a great video. Love the examples and some speak directly to me. Now I would wish we could get a follow up with more details on ways to help combat these issues.
@CR45H 0V3RR1D3 It has nothing to do with any fantasy of "weak minds" but our nature as co-operating herd animals. It's fascinating you are repeating thousand years old fallacies repeated by every generation as society changes and paradoxically blaming some other group of being weak minded and not thinking for themselves. 10/10 :D
Ikr. I've been active on r/india, as a political centrist, and getting banned too, it's funny seeing how accurate this video represents them, from it being an echo chamber, to the Polarisation, everything

I'm guessing you've never been to China and talk to a real Chinese everyday person before, go there, and you will be stunned by your own stupidity for saying such things.
@@eddiecheng413 Are you using a VPN to bypass China's firewall? Won't that get you in a lot of trouble? Or are you a Chinese Ex-pat pushing CCP propaganda in the west, living under the constant supervision of CCP minders? Whatever the case, I know what the CCP does better than the average Chinese person because the average Chinese person is living in a CCP bubble isolated from reality and is constantly lied to by CCP propaganda. China is being run like a giant North Korea and is an actual threat to the world. I'm calling the CCP out because people need to know.
I’m so happy someone with influences has adressed this. Technology is amazing and helps a lot of people but at the same time it can make peoples lives a lot sader. I also think the most detrimental new techno is definitely VR tho, to get an idea of what it will do take all the problems from social media and times it by 10 Mrboss pls continue to make video’s about this topic . Technology moves very fast and more people need to consider that their will probably be more negatives than positives with inivation
What are your opinions!? Going by the above presented example. If in this case am a hardcore fan of Samsung, which one do you think am susceptible to click on. "Why is Samsung failing" or "Samsung makes the best phones"
I'm actually the type of person who longs to connect with other people in real life but as people are becoming more disconnected and less caring about others or friendly, the more I've been starting to feel lonely wondering if anybody else is going through this or maybe they just keep quiet.. Overall I'm missing a lot of deep, meaningful connection and love in society and it can kill you inside. But covid along with technology hasn't helped the situation at all also and we need to keep that in mind.
Sigh, the first minute actually made me tear up. I've disconnected from all my old friends from school, relegated to watching their social media stories and they all seem so... Perfect. Always traveling, singing, dancing, doing professional photoshoots in gyms. I feel so... inadequate.
one of the reasons i do not use much social medias, i only use twitter for a couple of games i like keeping up to date with, youtube for well, entertaining myself, and that's about it
I am 99.9% sure we're destroying ourselves (and there's a plethora of reasons humanity's screwed) but there's nothing anyone can do or will be bothered to do to try and fix it
We are for sure destroying ourselves. One of my friends put it quite bluntly for me that made total sense. When you get sick, your body develops a fever to kill the virus/bacteria that is making you ill and then your temperature comes back down once you're better. Same thing is happening to the planet. The only difference is that when it comes to the planet, humans are the virus.
The art of conversation has died and face to face contact is now started and finishing with the words "yeah I know, I read that on Facebook/twitter or any of the other platforms. Also to have a polite and respectful debate is dead, if you don't share someone's opinion then my god you get slammed. All social media platforms have become so very toxic.
If there was nothing we could do, we would not have collectively battled through so many historic issues and the pandemic. I, therefore, understand you feel strongly about this, but if we keep this mindset we might ignore the solutions to the problems and be stuck in our own rabbit hole.
Videos like these have as a whole changed me and I've started to distance myself from social media in general and so far I already feel so much better and more productive, highly recommend to everyone
THIS IS IT. I’m now an official fan of Arun. These thoughts have been going on in my mind since a long time and I even keep telling my friend how Instagram and Facebook transitioned from being a medium to connect with people to really becoming a platform promoting social insecurity. Really happy someone talked about this. I’m gonna share this video a lot.
Project Veritas has been doing tough investigative journalism. And Daily Wire’s investigative journalism found that the Loudon County school board in Virginia covered up a rape by a boy pretending to be a girl in a girls bathroom. They mocked, belittle, and arrested the father when he tried to speak at a board meeting before this was uncovered. Everything mrwhosetheboss is talking about are simply distractions to keep people uninformed, distracted, and in debt to be slaves to stuff.
@@puresynergyflo u are the exact stereotype that mrwhosetheboss was referring to. probably didn’t even watch 5 seconds of the actual video. While the “real problems” you mentioned are unfortunate, they are completely unrelated to the topic and to the comment. I can’t even imagine being as out of touch and blatantly oblivious as you. YOU are the problem
@@ultron3065 Contrary to your assumption, I did watch the entire video before I commented. I thought it was very insightful and hit on a lot of good points that you, I, and everyone need to watch out for. Technology is amazing and I try to not take it for granted. I also try to not to let it get a hold of me so that I can be sheared like a sheep for products advertisers want me to buy or thoughts influencers want me to have. I'm sorry my comment triggered you into thinking I'm a problem. I meant no offense to anyone. I simply saw a comment mentioning this video as the "greatest piece of journalism of the 21st Century". That is a bold claim and after watching this video, I disagreed and pointed out what I believe is some real journalism, specifically on the investigative front because our media nowadays is so schewed to a narrative following some unclear groupthink driving to an even more hidden/unknown societal influence. The latter part of the comment I replied to mentioned wishing for a "wake-up call" and I was just adding my alarm related to some recent events that have uncovered corruption, harm and deceit from institutions we trust. It's just conversation. I'm open to hearing the other side of any opinion I have and hope that I listen first before speaking/typing. Don't be angry, I don't want that to be the last thing as our brief interaction ends. Take care of yourself, your loved ones, and don't let some comment like mine affect you into believing you encountered someone that is "out of touch" or a problem. I'll try to do a better job of making relevant posts but this video was fairly broad and this comment I replied to was related to journalism. Hope you have a great rest of your day and week.
@@puresynergyflo Oh, ok, my apologies for misunderstanding, it seemed to me that you were referring the video as a whole and not the comment. Like I said, that’s on me, I apologize, and I also wanted to mention that yeah, I completely agree. It is kinda contradicting as a tech youtuber to attempt to advertise certain products from select companies (that are responsible for the issues he mentioned) that pay them and they in response, support, and than turn around and post a video like this. I personally thought the video was pretty informative, as I’ve understood the idea for awhile, it’s just nice that he elaborated. But yeah, I can totally see the irony and I apologize for the misunderstanding. I hope you have a great day and week as well, and take care.
This is exactly why I keep watching Arun's videos. He has a big heart, he's genuine, he cares about others, and he's honest. No, I'm not being paid to say that either. I've watched his channel for years and I hope his family are proud of what he has accomplished from such small beginnings and hard work. Thank you Arun, keep up the high standard, I (and I believe many of your fans) really appreciate you. Kindest regards from Australia, Kabby 👵
Mad respect for using your platform to get an important message out. It was a great channel before but now it’s a whole Nother level. Keep up the great work
God this is speaking to my soul. I started feeling this way about 3-4 years ago. It took me a whole year to get off it but I got off Facebook. It saved me SO much time in my day. Then slowly I cut out Twitter, then Instagram. I can say that I am much MUCH happier since becoming social media free. I started out in the xanga/MySpace era, so social media has been a part of my life for the better of almost 15 years. It wasn’t until I freed myself from all social media how much more productive I could be and how subtly pressured and stressed I was. I replaced scroll culture with scrolling the news. I also force myself to even see news from partners I don’t agree with, just so I can keep myself in the know 100% and see what really matters or what the core issue rather than seeing all this name calling in fight bias we see nowadays. And the point of extreme negativity is also so real. I literally started watching the local news cus when I watched all the major news networks it’s just always: THE WORLD IS GOING TO SHIT. Even for my mental health, I watched a 10min piece from my local news station about pumpkins. IDK man. Life is so strange and mentally difficult to navigate. But I highly encourage everyone to at least cut out their social media for one month. See how you feel after!
man you have inspired me, im actually going to do this. Althought i spend only 2 hours on social media a day, it still makes me feel unproductive and more tired than usual, I will try to steer away from social media and see how it goes, Thanks!
"No one can win in an argument where neither will consider the others viewpoint" Dang that's putting it into words so perfectly!! Thanks for this video!
This is one of the single best videos I’ve ever seen on TH-cam. Seriously, no hyperbole. I think about this topic a lot, and I think you really nailed all the major key points. What’s more, you did it in an incredibly engaging way. A beautifully articulated argument. Thank you for making it, and thank you for using your platform to share such an important subject.
Imagine if everyone became completely dependent on a metaverse, and then a solar storm comes and just wipes it all out in an instant, along with every power grid
@@Big_Boy_Biggins Until then, make a campfire at least once a day and keep it up with anything that burns. Seems the Texas snowstorm power grid crisis should be a good example of how unpredictable nature can be. But a snowstorm is something you can prepare against. A solar flare? Highly unlikely. People will start to pillage, loot and murder as soon as the power, water, cellular and Internet grids worldwide go out in a flash, never to return. Streets filled with bodies and rubbish, with no one to clean it up. Decades and centuries of technological progress lost to history as humans leave the cities and plunge back into the 1700s. All because the Sun decided to let out one huge electromagnetic fart. Bizarre, isn't it?
The mental medicine that everyone needs. What a brilliant and socially responsible video Arun. You have truly stood out as one of my favourite TH-camr with this one.

@@zendraw3468 How so? Would you say the same to literally anyone who has people listening to them? Jealous because nobody gives a damn about what you tell them?
Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to share your thoughts, and especially ending the video on a hopeful note! Using your platform to share such a valuable perspective is truly admirable! You've really improved my day and given me a lot to think about. ❤️
This was excellent. Imagine a world where we hear more positive, unifying news on a daily basis, rather than negative, isolating news non-stop, and a world where a difference of opinion made you curious to learn and willing to challenge your ideas, rather than irritated, angry, and dismissive.
It makes me realize why a perfect world is not always the right thing, as much as we hate negative or bad things, they do make us learn in one way or another (depending how it is being handled) having different views and perspective allows us to feel different things and if we are only feeling the positive and like idk like everything is always in our favor, in a way it's not very human like, or like it just feels odd, it's like seeing a person who is always super happy 24/7, as much as u like smiling it feels odd if you don't see any other expression besides that.
Pray to daddy musk, he's such an important innovator of our potential futures. If he launched an open source, ethical social media platform it could literally save the internet. He's even in a position to pressure international governments, look at the recent interactions with the World Food Bank or whatever it was. He has so much power, and so much intelligence, and so much drive.
"...a difference of opinion made you curious to learn and willing to challenge your ideas" There's a reason humans need training to do that in general (scientists, academics etc)
All this needed to be said. Kudos to you for planning and executing such a detailed video 👏 Update : I got several notifications from the replies below. Some of you are actually the part of the problem too. Dragging me, my content, ability to make jokes and even saying i commented here to gain subs. you know what? I've learnt to deal with it but Its already very difficult for us to pump out content and deal with the algorithm. So if i genuinely watch someone like arun, i will comment what i feel like, AS A VIEWER. and that includes watching the video for 5 mins and feeling i should comment already. Now you can go back to spreading the hate in the replies below. Peace ✌️

Social media is driven by the most fundamental human emotions and needs: hunger for knowledge, sexual desires, need for social acceptance, vanity...taps into basic addictive neurological pathways. Oh, and I almost forgot the other basic human need: greed, needing money.
When things were at their very worst: 2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy. Scientists will say it was a global illusion. Beware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again. After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.

Yeah, youre right. Ive been feeling like that this year, and it feels like life is just passing so fast and im missing out. The problem relied on me spending a lot of time on social media.
This video literally opened my eyes. Simple words from us can't express or appreciate your efforts enough to tell you how great this content actually is. This should be shared with each and every person because of how insightful it is. Seriously well done here. You really are helping humanity continue being 'human' with this stuff. Hats off man. You are too good now. I would call you a 'Hero of Humanity' at this point.
@@amell.5461yeah, you are right we live in a peaceful world, BUT it seems worse than before, and it is really getting worse, why? Because of social media, nowadays everyone on earth can openly show their actions whenever they want, and there is a thing called imitation, youngsters imitate each other, and that imitation is going crazy, you know what? People tend to imitate bad actions mostly, and this can easily affect new generations
the quality of this content is head and shoulders above anything i've seen in months. i don't think i've ever finished a video and thought "that was enlightening" or "wow, that's a magnificent video i just watched", like i did just now.
Can't lie, this was a hard but necessary look into a lot of what's wrong with the world today. I've had to take a step back and think about how I might be allowing/engaging the toxic parts of tech and social media in my own life. Thank you for making this video Arun -- I think it's a must watch for everyone.
I've watched many of your videos throughout the years but to me this video is the magnum opus of your content whatsoever till now.

I been thinking about this for years, The only social media platforms i really use are TH-cam and Twitch yet it takes up so much time off my days. All my friends who is using apps like Snapchat, Instagram and Tik tok makes me both sad and worried about the future, Being with your friends nowadays is not the same as it was before socialmedia, People feel worse and more angry then ever before, People nowadays only want to have more followers, to make them self look better/more successful and to fit in, It's so sad to see people being so addicted and brainwashed by their phones, This has lead me to be more by myself because i cannot relate or even want to be with someone who lives in a false sense of realty, I wish that more people would see that social media and some other technology is changing the world to the worse.
I used to do streaks and it would give me so much anxiety everytime I nearly lost it. Meaningless things like that shouldn't cause so much anxiety. It's scary.
TH-cam and Twitch is just as bad honestly. There are good content on TH-cam but the general trend is yt shorts and formulated “random” videos and junk food entertainment. I just unsubbed from all my gaming and entertainment channels to start a habit of viewing more infomative/education vids and hopefully cut down the time I use the app
This guy is the absolute best tech youtuber out there. He always delivers top notch content and some of the most curated videos down to tiny details. I really liked this one and the point was expressed in the best way possible. A real eye opener, something you rarely see. Keep the fantastic work up, you deserve way more recognition.
I always wait for his vids to come out, unlike other you-tubers who i happen to watch bec they on the home page. He is 100 precent the best (tech) youTuber out there
I'm extremely impressed by this video. Especially the conclusion, cause I'm a strong believer that gratitude can change the way we see and live our life.
@CR45H 0V3RR1D3 and monitor it. I've noticed that Facebook's AI doesn't understand language and jokes the same way humans can. It sees words and decides from there, not factoring anything else. Gotten me into trouble a few times (laughing at American English is hate speech apparently). But anyway. Technology and AI is a wonderful thing, but like us. It's imperfect and has so many flaws, people need to understand that. Also need to understand that we need time away from it, much like we need time away from other people.
@@callummclachlan4771 not just the AI anymore tho, some humans can’t differ jokes from reality anymore it’s sad. feels like im talking to AI’s nowadays. i agree with your statement aswell. tech is so prominent the only time i remember people coming together in a friendly manner was when pokémon go got really big for a little bit. /:
Just the fact that these topics are even being recognised by larger YT creators genuinely gives me hope in humanity again, perhaps I was wrong in thinking we'd already passed the point of no return. Recognising the problem is 50% of the way to fixing it.
On the other hand we have to make sure to move beyond just recognizing problems once we're all aware of it. I feel like half of the "activism" today is actually just slacktivism and nothing actually changes

It really felt like a "big brother talk" to me, about what is real & what isn't.❤️ I always felt the same way. Just couldn't put it together so my mind can accept it. Thank you Brother. This one i felt.
Much, much, much needed. I am so thankful to you for making this video. These are the things which go through my head every now and then. I am happy someone put everything out in the open with an 'easy-to-understand' perspective.
Earlier in the video, I was thinking that one problem with our society is that everybody takes too much for granted, and have no gratitude for anything. It blew my mind that you ended the video on gratitude! I can attest to the many blessings that gratitude brings. I have seen it. It has happened to me many times. I wish more people could understand it.
I gave up all my "social media" accounts except TH-cam, and even here I'm going to limit myself. This is freeing up tons of time and reducing lots of stress for me. I look forward to spending that time with friends, as soon as it's safe again. However, I have health issues that have made going to the office difficult. For that reason, I love working from home and hate the thought of having to return to the office for a job that I can literally do more efficiently from my living room.
I wish I had friends. I don't spend much time on social media, but last year it allowed me to find a group of people who have the same interests as me. Most of our communication is still offline, though.
I agree, I’m just a dumb mind but yet I can still see what is happening in this world, people need to be more grateful and not get confused by social media. Just be thankful for what you have Man!
Glad you're talking about this, people like The Hated One have been discussing the negative impact of surveillance for quite a while, I'm glad someone with a huge reach like you has also made a video on the topic.
Absolutely clear discourse about what is happening. A voice such as yours need to be heard by more people before humanity wilts inside its own cocoon of biases. More power to you and the truths you share.
Literally one of the best videos I’ve ever watched. I mean that sincerely. We live in a very exciting… but in the same instance, scary time. Thank you for making us take a moment to think about these issues. I truly hope we put the right people in power to protect us… from ourselves. Cheers mate.
Very true tbh. Gen-Z has grown up with the internet and being a part of it it’s crazy to see how fast we’ve progressed to full integration of tech in every day lives
i mean its good for our next gen to use tech that we have, put we just need controlling and educated them to use tech properly so our next gen can use tech for productive and not just using tech for wasting a time in sosial media for watching noneducated content and gathering likes or followers
we are going to have so many problems soon because slowly people ar e getting sucked into reality due to the dangers of Russia and china in the Taiwan and Ukraine situations
This man must be protected at all costs. He’s informing people of things that the bigger companies and corporations don’t want them to be aware of. Thank you for trying to raise people’s awareness towards the slippery slope we’ve been sliding for years. We need more people like you who are brave and willing enough to talk about the truth of today’s society.
nothing to worry about...alarm on wasting time in social media is here for years....instead people and me included have more media devices and using more media platforms than ever....
yes indeed... i think our only hope is to just try our best helping each other improve and control ourselves and our world... until we made too many mistakes, until we not be able to control anything anymore, until we all consumed by the uncontrollable chaotic negativity, until our world fall apart...
This is no joke the most eye opening video in the internet right now. Think about it, as Arun said that the internet is the future, and this video explains its consequences. This should blow up! The most informative 25 mins Ive spent in a while...
For point 4 specifically, I absolutely love this quote by Albert Einstein: “The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.” And anyone that has studied for years in a certain field can 100% confirm it. Those who just do a few Google searches on a subject will never truly understand it.
Best video I have had the pleasure of experiencing in a long time. You hit so many points I have understood but few around me seem to see, and opened my eyes to even more understanding and acceptance of life. I spend a lot of time comparing my position in life with those around me. Trying to be a good person, working myself half to death and looking out for those around me, I look around and feel lost and alone. But I also know social media does this, and I stay out of social media. I gave up past Facebook and even then, I'm rarely on there any more. I hope more people see this video and truly listen. It could help a lot of people. Thank you for this.
You sir, have delivered a masterpiece. Whenever I want to express my concerns in a clear way, I’ll make people watch this video from now on. I think most people don’t understand what actually “privacy” means, thinking it has to do with their secrets or for instance public harassment. While it’s way more about handing off control and influence over to a single tech owner.
privacy is about protecting ourselves from controlling behaviour by the government or big bussiness...when you always look what the hype...almost followed by people..and yes generic people behaviour
16:24 I'm glad for the author of this article because he/she knew the difference between 'misinformation' and 'disinformation'. I see most people say misinformation when it is actually meant to be disinformation. You say misinformation if it is a mistake, disinformation if it is intentional fault like propaganda.
Absolutely the best video I’ve ever seen you share. And I love how you ended it all. Gratitude for what you already have and telling yourself that you already have everything you need to be happy is the best weapon against the algorithms that feed on the cycle of unhappiness we get from social media.
i really love how he just mentions social and philosophical reasons why humanity is going in a wrong direction, not any climate or environment reasons, which is correct because these reasons are so underrated, but these are the reasons that will make situations miserable in the future
This was the most professional video I have ever seen about how the internet is slowly but surely killing humanity. This video actually made me feel bad about even owning a phone! That’s how good this video is, I agree with everything you’ve said in this video.
This idea has been brewing in my mind for the last 2 years now, and so I've finally decided to talk about it - I'd love to know if you guys see things the same way, or if you have other ways of looking at it / dealing with these ideas 🙏

As a 16 year old i definetly agree. I remember when i was younger i was always possitive about social media and hate on ''boomers'' for saying otherwise but as growing older I'm definetly seeing this now. Social media isn't irl and more kids need to be educated about this

i absolutely agree, I am also 16 years old and our generation grew up with smartphones, now look at us, half of this " Gen-Z " generation is depressed because people at their age on TikTok are living a better life than they are, and the other 49% is just ignoring everything while sitting home all day and looking at their phone. Wtf happened to humanity, we should have never invented the smartphone, that was truly he down-fall of humanity. If this sh*t continues, there won't be a functioning society anymore, we will only be shells of ourselves.
@@lukasgruber You are totally right. I'm 20 years older and worked un IT and coding for 15 years or more. The times when all these tech are beneficial for humanity, inspire us, and help us is long gone, like at least 10 years ago or more. Since then it's not about humanity anymore I can tell you.
Only way is to ignore all this, especially your generation and even younger ones. Don't buy the next cool thing Don't spend time on these just go back to your friends and family amd minimize tech. When I or we olders say it, it's just being a stupid boomer. And I'm not even that old to be a boomer, and I work in the field.

Yes i agree
Deep.
What if we would simply program a social network that is open source, does not collect any personal data from you and where you can see exactly what data the algorithm has about you and why it shows you certain things.
Where you can see exactly how much time you have spent on the platform today and where you can set yourself daily time limits.
We could create an algorithm that promotes positive and genuinely informative content rather than boring lifhacks.
The exact opposite of Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and so on.

I sincerely hope a lot of people watch this video, listen very carefully and actually make a change to their behaviour. When I was on cruise ships I didn't have regular internet access, the only 'entertainment' onboard was interactions with other crew, and it's the happiest I've ever been. No news whatsoever made it through to me, there were no hours spent mindlessly scrolling, there were no echo chambers to become trapped in. It was glorious, and I'm making a conscious decision to live the same way on land.
Unfortunately I don’t think this can be fixed by simply trying to convince people to be more responsible with their decisions. Something is going to need to change about social media and tech itself. I think the biggest problem is all these new ways we interact with the world are designed first and foremost to optimize profit off of us. Our well being is not the first priority.
Nostalgia.
It's just nostalgia.
But why keep them around? Legit do you actually see a point of social media like this its not humanity it's the ones influencing humanity like the zucc and his algorithms.
And I also don't mean get rid of the media but the algorithm if I want to see something I can look up a hash tag or something don't force one one me or the alternate is scrap it all we can't do this anymore
The world is FUCKKKEEEED hahahaha

@@Average_Internet_User101 I don't think so but still respect your opinion there
I didn’t realise how much I ‘chose’ isolation until I went back to the office after almost 2 years of working from home. Our HR had sent us a survey trying to gauge our receptiveness towards returning to the office and the vast majority wanted to continue working from home, including me. I gave a long feedback saying how offices are obsolete and we can work wherever we want so why make it harder for staff by having to commute. But they made it mandatory to come in at least twice a week. After so long, I had forgotten what it felt like to just sit around with colleagues and have a chat about our week and sharing food. It just felt so human and I didn’t notice how much I’ve missed this. I was so used to being a robot at home with minimum interactions with anyone outside of my family. Yes, virtual interactions are a thing but it sure can’t beat the connection you gain from a physical meet-up.
And that's why this youtube channel promotes gross consumerism? He should quit being a clout chaser and virtual signaler.
Yes and no, testing equipment makes sure you don't have to buy it and be disappointed. You can make sure you get what you need and not what others are pushing. Obviously only listening to one source of tests is not recommended, but with 4-5 it allows you to limit needless purchases.
Hmm yeah, I sure love suffering through shitty traffic twice a day, five days a week to go sit in an office for 8+ hours for the massive benefit of.... being able to make surface level small talk with my colleagues. I'm good being in control of my own time, and just having my friends to meet up with for social interaction, thank you very much.
not with school, it’s terrible now either way
maybe instead of going to their own office, people could made local community remote-worker space. so they could still chit chat and has human interaction but dont have to do long commute. they could even walk or bike
If anyone tries to go without their phone for a single day, they will realise how unimportant everything is. Like there will be thousands of tweets trying to cancel someone but put the phone away and it doesn’t matter. I find that fascinating. Great video. Loved it

This video should be included in education curriculums - it communicates its message(s) perfectly in a way that is thoroughly engaging. Great work.
You see this comment should be getting thousands of likes, but YT's algorithm is throttling it back. The only part I disagree is that this is not great work, it is not a new phenomena, this is real life, we are bootloading a smarter self reinforcing AI every time we engage social media. And its been happening for years.
Critical thinking needs to be a mandatory class in primary education. Just teaching people how to differentiate between facts and opinions, recognize biases and either support or reject a claim using data and evidence would do wonders for people's ability to engage in normal discourse in society - something that seems like it's just absent nowadays because of the echo chambers and misinformation that social media creates and enables
@@capo_di_capi Yes I understand completely your point, the reason I say great work is due to the way it has been effectively compiled and presented that particular way.

Liking before watching because man’s know
Yup wish more ‘influencers’ would draw these issues out for people. As you said, most everyone who watches this video will already agree with your contention and arguments, because algorithm. However, if the sentiments and concerns you have brought so much clarity to can be viewed and processed by a wider circle, perhaps we (as a global society) can slow our spiral into the abyss that is already separating the haves and the have nots. Traditional education is not effective enough, unfortunately. That is why, as an educator, I am so glad to see someone who knows and ‘influences’ through the tools that are most effective, speak up and speak out.
Kudos.
@CR45H 0V3RR1D3 so, who cares about what you say, then?
As someone who deals and works with the younger generations, I must disagree with your sentiment that they are somehow ‘weak minded’. I most often find that they are quite the opposite. If you had paid attention to Arun’s video, you would see that this affects a multitude of modern society. The technologies we use to make our lives easier are controlled and manipulated by those who want and hold power. These technologies condition people from multiple generations to believe that whatever their point of view is, is correct and that that have all the data they need.
🔥
I agree with Dave on this one, as a part of younger generations I see my friends are not weak minded. They are very strong minded, but we can get influenced by stupid social media and lose it. I think people should just be more grateful in this world of tech.
This is a great video. Love the examples and some speak directly to me. Now I would wish we could get a follow up with more details on ways to help combat these issues.
@CR45H 0V3RR1D3 It has nothing to do with any fantasy of "weak minds" but our nature as co-operating herd animals. It's fascinating you are repeating thousand years old fallacies repeated by every generation as society changes and paradoxically blaming some other group of being weak minded and not thinking for themselves. 10/10 :D

@@ultron3065 Contrary to your assumption, I did watch the entire video before I commented. I thought it was very insightful and hit on a lot of good points that you, I, and everyone need to watch out for. Technology is amazing and I try to not take it for granted. I also try to not to let it get a hold of me so that I can be sheared like a sheep for products advertisers want me to buy or thoughts influencers want me to have. I'm sorry my comment triggered you into thinking I'm a problem. I meant no offense to anyone. I simply saw a comment mentioning this video as the "greatest piece of journalism of the 21st Century". That is a bold claim and after watching this video, I disagreed and pointed out what I believe is some real journalism, specifically on the investigative front because our media nowadays is so schewed to a narrative following some unclear groupthink driving to an even more hidden/unknown societal influence. The latter part of the comment I replied to mentioned wishing for a "wake-up call" and I was just adding my alarm related to some recent events that have uncovered corruption, harm and deceit from institutions we trust. It's just conversation. I'm open to hearing the other side of any opinion I have and hope that I listen first before speaking/typing. Don't be angry, I don't want that to be the last thing as our brief interaction ends. Take care of yourself, your loved ones, and don't let some comment like mine affect you into believing you encountered someone that is "out of touch" or a problem. I'll try to do a better job of making relevant posts but this video was fairly broad and this comment I replied to was related to journalism. Hope you have a great rest of your day and week.
@@puresynergyflo Oh, ok, my apologies for misunderstanding, it seemed to me that you were referring the video as a whole and not the comment. Like I said, that’s on me, I apologize, and I also wanted to mention that yeah, I completely agree. It is kinda contradicting as a tech youtuber to attempt to advertise certain products from select companies (that are responsible for the issues he mentioned) that pay them and they in response, support, and than turn around and post a video like this. I personally thought the video was pretty informative, as I’ve understood the idea for awhile, it’s just nice that he elaborated. But yeah, I can totally see the irony and I apologize for the misunderstanding. I hope you have a great day and week as well, and take care.
This is exactly why I keep watching Arun's videos. He has a big heart, he's genuine, he cares about others, and he's honest. No, I'm not being paid to say that either. I've watched his channel for years and I hope his family are proud of what he has accomplished from such small beginnings and hard work. Thank you Arun, keep up the high standard, I (and I believe many of your fans) really appreciate you. Kindest regards from Australia, Kabby 👵

What down everything in the mental health kit journal of what you grateful
God this is speaking to my soul. I started feeling this way about 3-4 years ago. It took me a whole year to get off it but I got off Facebook. It saved me SO much time in my day. Then slowly I cut out Twitter, then Instagram. I can say that I am much MUCH happier since becoming social media free. I started out in the xanga/MySpace era, so social media has been a part of my life for the better of almost 15 years. It wasn’t until I freed myself from all social media how much more productive I could be and how subtly pressured and stressed I was. I replaced scroll culture with scrolling the news. I also force myself to even see news from partners I don’t agree with, just so I can keep myself in the know 100% and see what really matters or what the core issue rather than seeing all this name calling in fight bias we see nowadays. And the point of extreme negativity is also so real. I literally started watching the local news cus when I watched all the major news networks it’s just always: THE WORLD IS GOING TO SHIT. Even for my mental health, I watched a 10min piece from my local news station about pumpkins. IDK man. Life is so strange and mentally difficult to navigate. But I highly encourage everyone to at least cut out their social media for one month. See how you feel after!
man you have inspired me, im actually going to do this. Althought i spend only 2 hours on social media a day, it still makes me feel unproductive and more tired than usual, I will try to steer away from social media and see how it goes, Thanks!

Imagine if everyone became completely dependent on a metaverse, and then a solar storm comes and just wipes it all out in an instant, along with every power grid

@@Big_Boy_Biggins Until then, make a campfire at least once a day and keep it up with anything that burns. Seems the Texas snowstorm power grid crisis should be a good example of how unpredictable nature can be.
But a snowstorm is something you can prepare against. A solar flare? Highly unlikely. People will start to pillage, loot and murder as soon as the power, water, cellular and Internet grids worldwide go out in a flash, never to return. Streets filled with bodies and rubbish, with no one to clean it up. Decades and centuries of technological progress lost to history as humans leave the cities and plunge back into the 1700s.

Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to share your thoughts, and especially ending the video on a hopeful note! Using your platform to share such a valuable perspective is truly admirable! You've really improved my day and given me a lot to think about. ❤️
This was excellent. Imagine a world where we hear more positive, unifying news on a daily basis, rather than negative, isolating news non-stop, and a world where a difference of opinion made you curious to learn and willing to challenge your ideas, rather than irritated, angry, and dismissive.
It makes me realize why a perfect world is not always the right thing, as much as we hate negative or bad things, they do make us learn in one way or another (depending how it is being handled) having different views and perspective allows us to feel different things and if we are only feeling the positive and like idk like everything is always in our favor, in a way it's not very human like, or like it just feels odd, it's like seeing a person who is always super happy 24/7, as much as u like smiling it feels odd if you don't see any other expression besides that.
i think its very possible to do that with how things are but it would be much easier if it was socially encouraged
Pray to daddy musk, he's such an important innovator of our potential futures. If he launched an open source, ethical social media platform it could literally save the internet. He's even in a position to pressure international governments, look at the recent interactions with the World Food Bank or whatever it was. He has so much power, and so much intelligence, and so much drive.
Extremely well said!
"...a difference of opinion made you curious to learn and willing to challenge your ideas" There's a reason humans need training to do that in general (scientists, academics etc)

I been thinking about this for years, The only social media platforms i really use are TH-cam and Twitch yet it takes up so much time off my days. All my friends who is using apps like Snapchat, Instagram and Tik tok makes me both sad and worried about the future, Being with your friends nowadays is not the same as it was before socialmedia, People feel worse and more angry then ever before, People nowadays only want to have more followers, to make them self look better/more successful and to fit in, It's so sad to see people being so addicted and brainwashed by their phones, This has lead me to be more by myself because i cannot relate or even want to be with someone who lives in a false sense of realty, I wish that more people would see that social media and some other technology is changing the world to the worse.
snapchat taught a generation that sending a completely meaningless random photo daily is what friendship is. No connecting, no talking, just "streak"
@@mabelpines1533 snapchat hacked. my 💯 photo streak gone.
Social media is really a problem. Damn...
TH-cam is also brainwashing, back i talked with a friend of mine everyday but since he has a TH-cam channel he kinda abandoned me!
I used to do streaks and it would give me so much anxiety everytime I nearly lost it. Meaningless things like that shouldn't cause so much anxiety. It's scary.
TH-cam and Twitch is just as bad honestly. There are good content on TH-cam but the general trend is yt shorts and formulated “random” videos and junk food entertainment. I just unsubbed from all my gaming and entertainment channels to start a habit of viewing more infomative/education vids and hopefully cut down the time I use the app
I really appreciate the balance of honesty and positivity you manage to strike in your videos.

Hi, reaction heroo
I definitely agree with you.

Earlier in the video, I was thinking that one problem with our society is that everybody takes too much for granted, and have no gratitude for anything. It blew my mind that you ended the video on gratitude!
I can attest to the many blessings that gratitude brings. I have seen it. It has happened to me many times. I wish more people could understand it.
I gave up all my "social media" accounts except TH-cam, and even here I'm going to limit myself. This is freeing up tons of time and reducing lots of stress for me. I look forward to spending that time with friends, as soon as it's safe again. However, I have health issues that have made going to the office difficult. For that reason, I love working from home and hate the thought of having to return to the office for a job that I can literally do more efficiently from my living room.
I wish I had friends. I don't spend much time on social media, but last year it allowed me to find a group of people who have the same interests as me. Most of our communication is still offline, though.

Best video I have had the pleasure of experiencing in a long time. You hit so many points I have understood but few around me seem to see, and opened my eyes to even more understanding and acceptance of life. I spend a lot of time comparing my position in life with those around me. Trying to be a good person, working myself half to death and looking out for those around me, I look around and feel lost and alone. But I also know social media does this, and I stay out of social media. I gave up past Facebook and even then, I'm rarely on there any more. I hope more people see this video and truly listen. It could help a lot of people. Thank you for this.
You sir, have delivered a masterpiece. Whenever I want to express my concerns in a clear way, I’ll make people watch this video from now on.
I think most people don’t understand what actually “privacy” means, thinking it has to do with their secrets or for instance public harassment. While it’s way more about handing off control and influence over to a single tech owner.
IKR! He was so clear and concise with expressing his points in a way that's not polarizing but rather makes people want to reflect.
privacy is about protecting ourselves from controlling behaviour by the government or big bussiness...when you always look what the hype...almost followed by people..and yes generic people behaviour
