Hey everyone, I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found some insight in some of the destructive behaviours that can be developed with excessive social media use. This was interesting for myself and my team to understand and learn more about. I will say a couple of things. I really don't condone the hurtful things being said about Mark Zuckerberg's appearance, I know the thumbnail overdramatises the video. Many people are saying quite a lot of unsettling things and I get it you are like "he is rich, who cares", but that's not the point, bullying is bullying and saying hurtful things is bad. I hope you can see where I'm coming from. Doesn't matter if they are a billionaire or some outcast from some part of the world. This is not what we are about. It's important to be critical of big companies and it's important to be fair and objective in your analysis. I don't think Mark is a bad person or Facebook in general are bad or even social media but as Chamath says in the video, "if you feed the beast the beast will eat you." This is the most important point of the video. I encourage you all to take a more nuanced approach to the video and not to view it has a pure condemnation, how we grow as a society and as people is to understand and use empathy. For me the video serves as a cautionary tale as to what can happen when you go on autopilot mode and what can happen is that your time and attention is controlled by others. This isn't just about social media it is about anything in life. Anyways, be kind. Be fair and objective. Speak your mind but respectfully, if you hate social media say it, if you love it say it. Share why you think so or don't. The most important thing is that we engage in a dialogue together. With love, Nav
Yes. We are all now part of the 'attention economy'. What to do? Feel more fear and create more enemies? More likes for hating those we perceive to be controlling us? Not a solution. Talk it over with others...debate but don't despair. Dare to be different: switch off your phone when you can...explain your actions to others...value the quiet undisturbed mind. It is the basis for personal peace and social harmony.
I liked being able to be in contact with friends and family I haven't seen or talked to in years, but if you share content not to their liking even if it is true, Facebook and Twitter will tag it as false content. I deleted my Twitter and only use Facebook to check on family and friends now. And I rarely get on there. Its a waste of time. I mostly use my phone as a phone and at times watch videos if I'm bored. I truly agree with what you said in this video. I'm just sorry so many kids are bullied and commit suicide over social media. Its really sad!
I would usually agree with your point about ad hominem comments about Mark Zuckerberg, however, when you consider all that he can do to us and all we can do to him it is the equivalent of being run over by a bus and the victim scratching the chrome off the bumper. He can addict our children and younger generations to Facebook causing immeasurable damage to society, ban political, social and individual pages that he and his employees dislike, influence elections and put pressure on governments, harvest our data and sell us to the highest bidder and in the process become so rich that he can buy his own island. We can call him a few names. The fact that I think he has head shaped like an egg isn't going to keep me up at night!
@@burtingtune yep...hearing your sentiments, especially for the generations to come. Luckily some of us didn't grown up with " tech-social-media " Some of us grew up on donkey Kong hand games, playing in our front yard safely, talking on telephones and generally no devises except a tellavision:.so we are lucky we know how to switch these distractions, controlling mind-bending machines OFF. It is sad and bloody unfortunate, let's hope 🙏next generations will hopefully learn from parents who genuinely give their time and a ...hoot about their children. And use CRITICAL thinking well without reservation to the TruTH 🕊💪🙈🎯
I hate when a friend visits my home and just sits there staring at their phone. I always wonder why they visited. And it happens a lot. I find it rude and frustrating. Now I understand it.
Well, everytime i and my friends hang out , i'm always the only person not to have my eyes glued to the smatphone's screen. i also persuade my friends to put their phones down. We could have a lovely conversation , rather than just sitting there staring at the phones. Sometimes i feel i am ignored and isolated by my friends. That hurts me lot. this is the first time i have commented in english ^^
the fact that everyone who deleted social media doesn’t regret it just goes to show how really unhealthy it is. how did we all manage to fall into this trap??
ikr? i remember before i had a phone i wondered why the fuck people choose to spend so much time on social media and on their phones.....and now look where i am years later: i'm exactly like the other fools whove spent too much time on this shit. i want to delete my social media for good, even if it makes my chances at my career worse, than good: i just want to be focused and happier again. social media takes that away for me.
@@DEADEYESTUDIO IKR! My FB is a cobweb/dust collection site now. I'm going to delete it. I'm Gen-X, so I've got no qualms about being considered weird: I have always been weird. I'm keeping TH-cam for now. It's fun. I've begun to turn off my phone after 9pm & all day on Sundays ‐ keeps me mostly sane. The people who I see in person deserve my full attention too, so I put my phone away. I keep in mind that my gadgets are my tools & I use my tools - my tools do NOT use me. Food for thought: If my "friends" won't call me and talk vs social media, then perhaps they aren't my "friends"... just sayin'. A phone call takes LESS time than scrolling on a screen anyway.
I just deleted my social medias a few days ago, at first it's difficult because people around you use it and always talk about subjects that you have no idea what it's about, but it ends up being good not knowing because they are ridiculous things that add nothing to our lives. It's so good to see that people like me are realizing how much this can destroy our lives
I deleted mine 8 months ago and let me tell you.. Im finally able to take the time for things i always wanted to do but couldnt cause i was so addicted. You also realise that youre not missing out on anything like you just said caus its nothing really important. I also havent watched the news in about 7 years now and i still knew about all the important things going on. Social media is a waste of time.
It's been years since I used social media. I feel great, actually I feel prestegious, being the only normally aware and mindful person without anything holding me, i know how my day is spent and where time is being wasted. Like, I am truly grateful.
It ruined my health too. I used to open social media apps for no reason all the time just because it started getting into my muscle memory and I was truly just addicted to it. I stopped remembering why I even used Instagram so much I just felt like I had to to fill the void. I’d spent many hours on it just scrolling through shit I didn’t care about and I’d start to forget to do normal daily things like eating and even hygiene like showering.
Yes , even duh i am gen z but i value the time without social media , you can't really disconnect from this forever but stop the banging time wasting and i am proud to say that i have never use tik tok and evn duh i have insta but i don't use it..
i’ve never in my life left money on a youtube channel but this video is so powerful and necessary. this needs more attention. this is the truth of our lives now. phone addiction. sometimes i wish someone would hack every network out of existence so we could get back to what matters
I don't but honestly, people need a bit of a detox from everything that's mainstream to just chill out, maybe rest from work. I hope soon they'll get bored and it won't be like TV for boomers - there's nothing anymore except for propaganda and the same movies on repeat but they'll waste a few more decades and their relations on it.
Social media has made us so eager to "Show and tell" but there is beauty in privacy. Everything isn't meant to be on display. It's perfectly fine to keep some things for you
That reminds me of a time I did a solo trip to Seattle. I didn’t even want people to know I went there. I didn’t post any pictures til 6 months later. I wanted that trip to be MY trip and enjoy my privacy and time alone. I feel that divulging it to others would somehow steal the excitement from me.
Yes. The beast controls our Children. These kids should have 100% guidance on the Internet, PERIOD. That will cut down on soooooo many kids from being kidnapped and enslaved to “Sex Trafficking” their grades, bullying, gangs, drugs, and suicides. They need to make it a Law w/ kids under the age of 18 yr’s old that there has to be 100% guidance or the parents are “FINED” 👍
I quit social media 2 years ago and it has definitely been the best decision in my life, I don't feel depressed anymore and I found much more meaning in life.
thats cool buddy, but youtube is almost the same:) a lot of attention distraction, almost impossible to study using youtube as a source. U need a lot of strength of your will and self control. But yeah it's still better than scrolling news on the wall:D
The major problem with traditional social media (i. e. fb, Twitter instagram, etc), is that most people develop a virtual image that seems to be perfect, and many others compare themselves to that image, making them feel that their life is miserable or that they haven't accomplished anything, the social media algorithms make people to see all the time people with apparent wonderful lives, and the latest problem is, because politics have become a major topic in the latest years (specially with certain disease), a lot of people that you have in your contacts (friends, family, etc) will insult you if you share something opposed to their opinion, also most of the social media will keep censoring one side, so, it will seem that the majority of people have certain sentiment and will demoralize anyone that thinks different even more; it's a bunch of problems, that's why there are many mentally ill people nowadays.
I’ve only been on FB 2 times this year. Life is better without it and I’m more focused on self learning. The only reason i use keep messenger is, there are some people I want to stay in contact with but don’t want to give them my number.
TH-cam has fantastic material but it has changed tremendously over the years and there is more and more aggressive solicitation of your attention. Look at the use of banners. You're in the middle of watching a clip and already they're trying to pull you to the next one. And now they have more and more video shorts and more and more ads.
i deleted all of my social media accounts 3 years ago and I've never been happier. Yes, people give me weird looks but i value my mental health wayyy more
@@lydia21936exactly! Also imo , YT is essential and the next generations need to know how to work with tech, so not caring about the newest tech isn’t very smart, but quitting Snap, TT , IG is such a great idea!
@@lydia21936you can easily use TH-cam and not entertain dumb arguments in the comments 😂 I use it to watch sermons and study more about Jesus and learn how to do things for free. So nah it’s not always social media but if you have no self control then yes it’s dangerous as heck. To the majority it’s a big danger.
No, shut it down long ago l do like the music on youtube and shows like this one ldo play an on line game to Elder scrolls l do not miss the rest Nice to see lm not alone
@Toy Story Fan 4 Yeah you really need to watch some actually interesting stuff. I haven't seen any of that stuff in my recommended for like 3 years. You should try to watch any educational channel and there are so many good ones to choose from on this platform. Despite this though, I am considering quitting TH-cam as I spent way too much time on here and it is the only social media I use.
Conclusion: people today are addicted to the secondary, at least real, they prefer to watch porn and masturbate, than to find another person to have sex, they prefer to interact with people on social networks, instead of interacting in real life.
@Censor Me no one forces you to do anything, these are businesses. Blame people not the companies, lazy people are their own problem. I’m able to balance myself between using technology and social media without damaging by social and work life.
@@austinhowser7838 this has noting to do with lazy or not. It was revolutionair when it came out. Now 20 years later we can see the damage it has done to mankind
I haven't had any social media in years and I am happier than I ever was when I had it. I am a bit addicted to TH-cam but I think watching videos about anything I want to learn or know is a lot better than scrolling through social media.
I agree, i deleted my app Facebook for a few days ago. Still using TH-cam but its because i have things to check out, but Facebook had me to use it for hours for no reason 👌
I quit social media over a week ago and I already now feel so much better then ever in my life. I have been dealing with depression since the age of 12 (9 years ago) and social media only made it worse. My love for reading and musik is coming back and I’m learning how to deal with being bored and I love it.
Good shit, I need the medias for music promo on my band but I have an app that locks me out of it. Social media is so bad and I just noticed after using for so long that I would just feel like SHIT anytime I used it.
Kudos champ. I have been deleting it for the last year. Done permanently (or at least I hope I am). No one can change people who only care about money.
@@rahafalkhaldi1897 Well, aren't YOU a judgmentally hostile Mr Know-it-all. I use TH-cam to learn, keep tabs on the news and watch music videos...maybe watch a film or two. I couldn't give a damn about pop CULTure and in fact, most of my time on TH-cam is spent marking channels as "don't recommend". I'm disgusted with humanity anyway. ESPECIALLY people like you. I have my watch and search history paused, you obviously do not, so this algorithm you speak of has nothing to work on. Your theory about "nerves to pulse messages around the brain differently" is a crock of mindless shit.
@@rahafalkhaldi1897 TH-cam is not Fascistbook or Twitter or Instagram where you're sharing your life and comparing your life to that of other people. It's a platform to watch videos, is only social media by proxy and if communicating with others makes a platform "social media", then you better stay away from any website that has a comment section...because it just might cause those nerves to pulse messages in your brain differently and make you depressed.
@@rahafalkhaldi1897 By the way, you self-righteous hypocrite, if TH-cam is so evil...WTF are YOU doing on it? Hmm? I guess you forgot that when you point the finger, there's three fingers pointing back at you. You've been hoisted by your own petard, BEOTCH! Go pound sand.
Just deleted my social media 3 days ago and wow! I really do feel refreshed. The consistency of comparison, jealousy, seeing people’s drama, virtual stalking, etc. is so unhealthy. It’s hard for people to connect in person because brains are trained to post a status as opposed to meeting for lunch, talking on the phone, etc.
I quit Facebook years ago, because I was tired of other people. I don´t care where others where, what they ate for breakfast or what color poop their kid made.
Everybody wants attention, it seems. to isolate us with Covid1984 plandemic, to program us now with social media apps while we're 'waiting for this unfortunate plandemic to subside'(smh), we are under your controllllllllllllllllllllll , elitistsssssssssssssssss, we're zombiesssssssssssssssssss nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. *punches mark suckerturd's face a few dozen times* any questions? 19 years old and i can fk'n ==r==e==a==d=== *your turn* deepweb this shit, not surface web trash/lies.
As an 18 yr old girl I feel happy not using social media at all. I get weird expressions from some people when I say that I am not on Instagram/ Facebook .... But it' s okk .... I feel absolutely happy living in a " real " world
@@shinn3003 I feel you your little brain is playing tricks on you and by now one could say you're used to it. OMG what's trending on tik Tok 😅 I need to do those dance's 🤣🤣🤣
I’m sad about apps like Tinder too. Relationships and intimacy shouldn’t be like fast food. I want my children to value others and to be valued by others in ways that are meaningful, respectful and fulfilling.
PS Milspouse what’s most depressing about this subject is that any time one goes up to another from the opposite sex to try and spark a conversation or potentially find your soulmate, you’re thought of as a creep so people feel safe to use these apps for those reason. I hate it.
PS Milspouse I met my girlfriend on tinder n wouldn’t have crossed paths otherwise n we’re together 3 years n expecting our 1st baby both of us r very happy in our relationship. I agree a lot of trolls but is that not an issue with ourselves as individuals n as a society...
"Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels. (Rev 14)
Only for the mentally weak!!! Never used facecrap, don't know anyone on there & never cared... Only rarely check fone for missed calls. Mostly forget to take it out. -No News is Good News, LoL
When it was uploaded 6 years ago but TH-cam is suggesting me now 💀👏 no worries ABSOLUTELY right and yeah I'm glad that I'm not in any other social media except for TH-cam and WhatsApp and they both work according to me rather than me working for them☮ Thank you for your video❤
I stopped using FB, Twitter, and IG for almost 2 months now. I switched to Quora and TH-cam to learn things I didn’t know. I started meditating (50 day streak), learn new languages through Memrise app and read books that will help me somehow in the future. Now I feel better, happier and more productive in my life. I feel like I’m in control of myself and my life now. I’M FREE NOW. I’M FREE FROM THE CHAINS NOW.
Repent of your sins and believe on Adonai Jesus Christ, believe in your heart that He has died for sins and rose from the tomb on the third day and let the Holy Spirit within you, and you shall be saved. - Evidence for Jesus Christ’s existence, crucifixion, and disappearance from the grave (He rose from it): The Lord Jesus Christ did exist, gathered disciples, and was crucified and went missing from the grave. To argue about wether He was taken from the grave or rose from it, is an argument a skeptic can make. Because well if you disregard the eye witness testimony of the disciples and there willingness to die for Christ, and humans won’t die for something they know is a lie, when Peter is pinned upside down to that cross, he could have said that it was a fake, but He didn’t because it wasn’t, what care would he have about death in this world if he knew for a fact he had assurance of a life in another, Jesus Christ did rise from the grave and is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Now the evidence for the Lord Jesus Christ’s existence really isn’t hard to find a multitude of non-Christian scholars and historians mention Him within 150 years after the time of His life. One such is Tacitus a Roman historian who reported on emperor nero’s decision to blame the Christians for the fire that had destroyed rome in 64 AD. Tacitus wrote: “Nero fastened the guilt ... on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of ... Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judaea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome…” In this Tacitus makes reference to not only Christians, but Christ calling Him Christus and confirming the Gospels going on to say that He suffered the extreme penalty (crucifixion) under the reign of Tiberius and by the sentence of Pontius Pilate, which like I said confirms the Gospels narrative. Another important source of evidence about Jesus and early Christianity can be found in the letters of Pliny the Younger to Emperor Trajan. Pliny was the Roman governor of Bithynia in Asia Minor. In one of his letters, dated around A.D. 112, he asks Trajan's advice about the appropriate way to conduct legal proceedings against those accused of being Christians. Pliny says that he needed to consult the emperor about this issue because a great multitude of every age, class, and sex stood accused of Christianity. At one point in his letter, Pliny relates some of the information he has learned about these Christians: “They were in the habit of meeting on a certain fixed day before it was light, when they sang in alternate verses a hymn to Christ, as to a god, and bound themselves by a solemn oath, not to any wicked deeds, but never to commit any fraud, theft or adultery, never to falsify their word, nor deny a trust when they should be called upon to deliver it up; after which it was their custom to separate, and then reassemble to partake of food - but food of an ordinary and innocent kind.” This passage provides a number of interesting insights into the beliefs and practices of early Christians. First, we see that Christians regularly met on a certain fixed day for worship. Second, their worship was directed to Christ, demonstrating that they firmly believed in His divinity. Furthermore, one scholar interprets Pliny's statement that hymns were sung to Christ, "as to a god", as a reference to the rather distinctive fact that, "unlike other gods who were worshipped, Christ was a person who had lived on earth." If this interpretation is correct, Pliny understood that Christians were worshipping an actual historical person as God! Of course, this agrees perfectly with the New Testament doctrine that Jesus was both God and man. You may have heard of the scholar Flavius Josephus who mentioned James as being the brother of the Lord Jesus Christ, which matches what Paul said calling James “The Lord’s brother” and there is another document that Josephus may have written which goes: “About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a man. For he ... wrought surprising feats.... He was the Christ. When Pilate ...condemned him to be crucified, those who had . . . come to love him did not give up their affection for him. On the third day he appeared ... restored to life.... And the tribe of Christians ... has ... not disappeared.” Now it’s up to debate wether this is the entirely original document of what Josephus wrote, or if a Christian had edited it. But regardless he wrote about the Lord Jesus Christ. Wether it was negative or positive like the possible document is. Anyways there are many other statements, documents, letters, and writings of all sorts from the ancient world talking about the Lord Jesus Christ and there is not one question if He was a real person or if He was crucified and went missing from the grave. That is clear as day, He is a real person, was crucified, and went missing from the grave. And He did rise from the grave. And for more evidence of the Lord Jesus Christ, there’s the Bible and you see there is no evidence the Bible is corrupted, a lie, created by the Roman government, folktale. It is the recount of the Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, now wether you want to believe it is up to you. And what profit was there in spreading Christianity, All the early Christian suffered persecution, beatings, and were killed. Another Scholar reported that James the Lord’s Brother was thrown off a building and then stoned to death for spreading the Gospel in Jerusalem. These people went to great lengths even giving their own lives for Adonai Jesus Christ.

Repeated sentiment, but worth echoing - I ditched social media apps too, and honestly, it feels liberating. No more 'perfect' life posts, just genuine peace of mind.
Have you ever seen what happens to people who get stranded somewhere without internet on their phones for more than an hour? They start pacing and getting irritable and rubbing on their arms. This happens -everywhere-. It's really sad.
Personally I’m relieved, finally silence and I can hear my own thoughts. Just enjoying the company of my doggos. Hopefully people realize the issue caused by addictive technology and learn how to hold back. Ignorance is what puts people is these vulnerable positions.
@@imy5279 That's not an example of addiction. It's simply being without a functional tool, when you actually needed it. If you were on the highway the anxiety would undoubtedly be greater since you could potentially drive farther distances & find yourself farther out of your way than you intended. If you were on a schedule, the problem of not knowing where to go would heighten that anxiety, understandably. GPS is not always reliable. *Suggestion:* Think what you would have done to prepare to get there _before GPS was a thing_ & do that as a backup. Anxiety & full on panic is typically rooted in unpreparedness, which heightens our fear, depending on the circumstances & the person's ability to handle stress of the unknowns. Also, it would be a good idea to learn the phone numbers of 3 of the closest people to you (if you don't already know them). It's important info to have in an emergency when you don't have access to your contacts. Be prepared. Just a thought
@Johann Pretorius I believe netflix changed the whole dating game; it normalized Multiple threesome so well that a healthy relationship is fucking rare.
No, online dating sites in general have turned dating into online shopping. Women have this "plenty of fish" mentality, so when they see a profile that doesn't have pics of a hot guy or if the profile doesn't fill out their shopping list...they move on because, there's hundreds of other profiles to browse through. Online dating is something else I quit doing, because my greetings being constantly ignored was just making my depression even worse and making me feel I wasn't worth anything to anyone. 14 years worth of off and on use of date sites has almost destroyed my hope for ever finding romantic love again.
Deleted all social media 7 years ago and since then I find myself having more time to do things around the house, more time spent with my kids, less drama, less division amongst family and friends. You truly realize how bad it is when you get rid of it and try and go to a social event and have a conversation and everyone is staring at their phones and your just sitting there watching them all and they have no idea.
@@gleqy idiotic thing to say. you obviously dont know what op talking about. whats op said about sitting there, seeing everyone on their phones is true. take a second to look around you when at a social event or w/e. op said nothing about being better than anyone and it wasnt implied either.
"If you pull the casino enough, you will win. And you don't know what trigger will reward you" 💔 It's that mystery that keeps you on wants you to know.
People have gotten so lost into social media that if you stopped being active on it, your so called ‘friends’ forget you exist and even ask “where have you been?” And the whole time you only live 5 blocks away from them. 🤦🏽♂️
The problem of deleting them is that you think you are NOT uptodate anymore. You might also think that you are "chilling" when you are on Instagram BUT that is just FALSE. You get an overdoze of Information and after using it you feel so unmotivated and stressed. Friends: This year we gonna have to change something at our behaviour!
Yeah the common rationale I had was a desire to be connected. But connected to what? Watching Instagram stories of food. Heck, posting Instagram stories of food. No need for that. Time to get better!
I've come here after 6 years of this being posted. I've been in a ferrel twist of what went wrong since I was a happy, joyful 18 year old to a 24 year old surrounded by fake normality. This video literally came to me to answer every single question I had.
Just went on a "family vacation" . I looked around me one day and saw EVERYONE was on a tablet or phone--from Grampa to grandkid. So much for INTERACTION. So much for MEMORY -Making. Instead we just sat in the SAME room but were in DIFFERENT spaces. Fragmented attention.
My adult children limit their social media addiction. It started when I went on a Fakebook sabbatical and haven't been on it in almost three years! I don't plan on going back ever except one day to download my pics and then I will permanently delete my acct. The turning point was my kids seeing me happier and enjoying nature, reading books, doing crafts, and having less stress to live the good life. We are not glued to our phones and we laugh more, talk, listen to music and dance more. Very liberating!!!
Yea its like when people go to "watch" foreworks......no they go stare at their phones to see if the fireworks is in the frame so they can show off on fb.....its so sad
Why didn't you speak up about it at that very moment to get the family to engage with one another? I honestly think the adults are more addicted to social media than children and that's why the youth will continue to sink deeper down the hole.
I have depression. And I deleted all my social media (I use TH-cam sometimes) and I feel much more happier. I go to a therapist, I'm more outside, reading books, enjoying christmas. I'm SICK of society! And hey, people!! The planet is dying!! Social media is ruining our lives. That's reality.
Sad to hear it though, I´ve been in a simular situation so i know to a certain point how you may have felt. If i can give you a tip, start to work out (for scientific evidence: you increase dopamine naturally and seratonin as well. One motivates you the second one helps coping with stress. Also running increases brain capability and it has been a lifechanger for me. If you need a proper chanel for fitness education head for athleanx on youtube he helped me with developing fundamental knowledge and mindset.
I don't know if you are religious or nor but you actually don't not need a therapist. You just need God and to detox from what you've heard or seen or might have read. Totally detox. Read the Bible for yourself don't listen to pastors or anyone do it yourself.
Iagree with Stephanie, get to know Jesus he loves you without strings it's not about religiuon it's about having a personal relationship with our creator and I gurantee he will not let you down or leave you like fake freinds on social media as long as we keep a humble heart, all I can tell you is that since i've known him my life has been so much better he's blessed me so much since I got svaed so now I tell others about his love and goodness.
Then the question would be: Were they ever your friends if they fell to the addiction? No offense, consider yourself lucky if YOU didn't get hooked. All of us have stories about losing friends and even being unable to create meaningful friendships due to social media.
*IKR* my family doesn't even fuckin' talk to me anymore, even WITH social media apps. (i've done everything correct, and nothing wrong to them), it's just THE ELITI$T$ agenda//////////////////////
@@hallelujahentertainmentvlo7753 I’m glad there are people who have a similar perception on this topic. I believe that I found it very difficult to interact with on one another due to the fact that many people that I’ve met in high school for example are deeply rooted in to social media.
It saddens me to see how apt your title is. How could I have missed this for so long, when it was uploaded five years ago and still resonates with me today?
Same here. It popped up in my feed 2 nights ago and I'm really glad I found this video. Kudos to the maker of it. I had a social media account for six months in 2020 (pandemic) and got rid of it for the same reasons I heard being mentioned in this video. I could see how toxic it was from day 1 but I wanted to see where it would go. I reconnected with some people and that was enough. It was a second corrupt world that I didn't need to live in. Let's keep our minds on things above.
For real. That’s why I got rid of 10 years ago I thought it was boring and even the other apps came out then I was like this is too much work, and now with everybody being creators it’s like that shit is probably so overwhelming now! I can’t imagine it. Lol
I’ve deactivated my Instagram for 3 weeks now because I legit would compare myself to every other girl and get sad over it. It’s such a refreshing feeling but I’ve been itching to go back so this video describes everything perfectly.
i unfollow some instagram account that makes my life seems not great... and some negative people who share negative quotes... and it changes my life... i'm more happier...
I did the same thing back in September for some of the same feelings. I hate doing all this work to feel good about myself just to get on SM and see someone killing it lol. You're beautiful btw
Im glad I don’t have social media😂 I’m talking more about Instagram, Facebook, Twitter etc. In my opinion TH-cam is not really social media because you’re not really socializing it’s more about content. Unless I’m wrong lol I’m not really in the TH-cam community
It's been 3 years since I delete my social media account and now I am much more happier in my life and have so many times and can do so many things. work on my hobby go outside spend time with my family and I am grateful that I am not on social media
Next time you go outside your house, into the public, notice how many people actually are just starring down on their phone. It's really scary. I go to work everyday by bus and people don't look at each other anymore. It's really sad. I still have facebook and Instagram but I never post anything, it's all just fake. Fake people showing fake lives, giving other people anxiety and depression.
Ι don't want to scare you but your fb account cannot be deleted. I thought I had done it too, but after many many years I entered my previous email and saw thousands of notification despite I had ''deleted'' it... It's there and will forever be! Believe me...
IIRC when you are deleting the account it will bring you to a page to confirm it, and it stated clearly that you could recover it within a period (several weeks or months I forgot). Lol I never went back to recover it anyway. And I remember it is very complex to find the way to delete it because I searched at many sections in my previous fb account but still couldn't find it, so I googled and went to a link that brought me to there. I did this like... 2 or 3 years ago because I don't need it at all. News feed rarely helpful in any way and I don't care if my friends drink milk for their breakfast (yes literally, some friends posted that). I remember the first thing I woke up scrolling for news feed in fb even though I knew it will never bring any useful information to me. I don't know why, it's just the things my housemates always did and I followed it. When they got something trivial they would share it with everyone as if they have found treasures.... Wake up, lie on the bed scrolling for an hour or 2, scrolling whole day, scrolling when having meals and another scrolling session for an hour or two before bed. Best way to demolish your life when you couldn't control your temptation.
People think you are invisible and have no life if you don't use facebook or instagram. It is better to be invisible rather than being depressed or having no real life
Lol its funny people have to wonder what im doing... "where do you work".or "are you still with your boyfriend i see your profile picture change" lol i just laugh keep them guessing 😉 Edit: its really sad that some people live double lives
No one is invisible I suggest you change your friends, etc ,for the love of God these very same people who are bashing social media are on it using it to not do something constructive like helping people. They are using it to make others feel bad about it and themselves. They are a joke and the jokes on them. Never listen to people who try to steal.
Facebook blocked my accounts many times what they didn’t understand is that they literally gave me a taste of freedom Thank you Facebook for showing me the way to exit
It’s so concerning how social-media has glamourised the worst of human attributes: vanity, exaggerated self-importance, boastfulness, materialism, deception, envy, ostentation, narcissism, superiority. Please don’t be programmed into believing that any of these traits are positive, they’re not.
always talking about no being materialistic coming from the most rich countries who keep the power and money like crazy even with destroyed another countries funny fact
I always see this behaviour in my class and it's honestly scary. The second the teacher leaves the class for a moment, all students will whip out their phone to scroll through TikTok or similiar apps. They also do it in class when the teacher isn't looking. What's also annoying about it is how the students will complain about receiving bad grades and try to shift the blame to the teacher. It's mind-boggling.
I am an economics prof -- I've experienced such a change in student happiness, engagement and anxiety over the last 5-6 years than in all my the years before. One of the life-lessons I try to share with my students is the saying "What others think about me is none of my business!" If one truly lives by this, then the reliance on our phones would drop to a fraction of what it is now.
Honestly, they need to completely outlaw all of these social media apps, and make it illegal and make the companies shut it down, for the good of society
Have you thought about asking college psychology students about any studies or thesis that could help you and your friends be involved in (something) that could add to the scientific body of knowledge about TECHNIQUES of slowing down or quitting social medias that are the healthy ways... College students love smart questions put to them, and want to help, and have to stick to a tight schedule - but if real curriculum related work can help, they'd be willing to work with others willing to put the work into it - with them.
Tic tok,twitter,Instagram is the biggest scam there ever was. When someone catches up with you and robs you of all your personal thoughts and gets into your bank and possibly your house, you will understand. If you need to be liked maybe you should stop looking outward. Your needs are not important to me and all you people cryin and whining about privacy while your life is wide open as you give it away
Saw one recently where teacher took phone from 17 year old and she pepper sprayed him. In a few years she will no doubt sue the prison system cuz they won't allow he/she/it to have social media in jail where she belongs.
Since I have deleted Instagram and Facebook I have been less depressed. I don't worry about other people's lives, what they have and I don't. It's refreshing to be able to just breathe, and not worry about who posted what or who liked what
Averi Watkins - Me too. I avoided it for years, started using in 2015, then became so anxious about my image and likes and even negative politics, that I ended up upset. I announced my departure in an emotional Fb video and went off.
Averi Watkins same here. I realized this when MySpace was cool to have. So when everyone talked about facebook and went over to that, I chose not to follow because I realized I was comparing my life with others and feeling depressed. I decided if I really want to know what my friends are doing or how they are ill be in contact with them.
D'Jhane Costin not only does it add depression or a large amount of life comparison, it makes us lose the ability of human interaction. People are constantly looking down on their phones and missing all the beauty in the world around them. We're missing life happening around us, and focusing on the one little highlight in someone's day like their plate of lunch, its silly ya know?
I closed all my social media apps since about mmm 🤔 4 yrs I think...and I don’t really miss it. Some say I live under a rock, but I don’t mind. I just love TH-cam 😬
TH-cam id social media and just as bad lol. I stopped doing heroin only crack now. Either was everything in moderation but some people don’t have the willpower to do things in moderation,
crunch9876 yeah I suppose, but it’s not like you’re putting your life up for everyone to see, unless you’re a TH-camr then that would apply. Everything in moderation though, yeah you’re right 🙂
TH-cam is the most natural social media compared to Facebook Snapchat etc. You cannot even argue that. It’s more like a, I drink once a week rather than do crack every day with Snapchat lol
I quit social media when I was losing my mother. In just those short 8 months I learned more about her than I had learned my entire life. Almost 3 years later it was hands down the best decision I've ever made.
I have been off of FB for over a year. I had one , just one friend text me asking if I fell off the face of the earth. Those were his exact words. I told him I am living an actual life now.
The paradox of that!!!! Did you fall off the face of the earth, no!!!! We really do believe social media is our reality and when we meet people that don’t have social media we think it’s weird.
@@Cjeejc7 it almost felt like I fell off the face of earth. But now it's been a few months without it, and I dont even think about it. I'll never go back. It's a brainwashing brainndeading false reality. Like. Why do we think our voice and thoughts matter as much as we do? Its trippy to think I was sucked into that fake reality.
Social media has caused us to literally turn our backs on our own local neighborhoods and communities in favor of communicating and virtual befriending people from other parts of the country and other countries. While it is great to get to know people from other parts of the USA and the world, it should never come at the expense of face to face communication with people in our local neighborhoods and communities.
Not only that but nowadays people don’t even use social media to virtually communicate anymore, it’s more about mindless scrolling which ironically transforms us into the opposite of “social” and makes us cluelessly isolated into our own rooms. And it’s quite sad because considering that even if you try to quit, it’s not like your friends or your family will too, and you will have to helplessly watch them consume this messed up algorithm in exchange of their attention and neurons. As a teenager there is no way you won’t lose a big fraction of your friends and have the reputation of the “weird kid” in the school you are in. But nevertheless you should put your mental health first and search for the people who are also conscious, even if they are not around you right now.
Deleted all my social media besides things like TH-cam and Pinterest... life feels so much simpler and I know who my true friends are. Get the courage to delete it! There won’t be any regrets!
I still use youtube only because I make gaming videos on my spare time after a 8-5 work day still have facebook and tweeter but never never use them only use them to send videos to but I have never wrote a post for them just using them i guess
They made and posted this video on TH-cam (a social media platform) so that those people who'll watch this video will realize what they're doing. Where do you think they'll post it, on a newspaper?
thank you so much for this video. i deleted social media about 4 months ago and it makes me feel so much better, i have better, more interesting goals, i started reading, matching movies, reading articles and practicing art again, which makes me feel so much better. this video motivated me to keep my efforts to not reinstall social media and to continue putting my time and energy into things that fulfill me. to anyone hesitating to delete them, do it. i promise once it’s done it’s way easier than it seems (after a week or two you even forget to check your phone while it obsessed you before) and i never heard anyone saying they regretted doing it.
Sometimes when I am on FB I am amazed at how fast time goes by. I can spend all morning or all afternoon on FB and not even realized my day is gone and I have accomplished nothing.
I delete 2 of my social media app because of this. Im really going forward on keeping it as simple as possible and enjoying life at the max because thats what its all about!☀️ keep it up guys
THIS is what needs to be what goes viral on social media, instead of celebrity news and memes. Share tf out of this so we can save ourselves, and our future generations
No seriously social media is the devil it’s like living in the twilight these days people be so stuck in their phones they don’t even listen to your conversation
@Darth Vader did you read the original comment? "I use TH-cam to watch "how to" videos"? That's why I'm mostly here... and no... I don't consider TH-cam the same as the other platforms since i don't post anything about my life... not even my name is real here... and I'm not looking for likes about anything... the most I'll do here is have a discussion with civilized people about a topic that interests me... try to find some information about me...
I am a server at a restaurant, and I frequently see whole families of 5 or more sitting at the table. with all their heads bowed looking at their phones. It's sad. I'm glad I didn't grow up in this time. I'm thankful my family had face to face communication without something distracting them at the dinner table.
Amy's Atmosphere and I’m glad my family puts the phones AWAY when eating. I mean c’mon. AT LEAST put it away when you’re eating... it’s a part of bonding with family.. so so sad 😓
Thank you the algo for reminding me how 'much' of the very important time I've wasted. I don't have an Instagram or TikTok account, yet here I am with a daily average of 7 hours screen time... the number of books I couldve read, the skills i could've learned... I no longer want to watch, hear and daydream, I want to learn now.
it would’ve been WAYYYY better if we didn’t have social media I bet kids would’ve still been outside riding there bikes nowadays you barley see kids outside
@@deja7615 Social media is still pretty good! Social media is designed to kill time, communicate with others, a good source of information, and ect. Kids wouldn't go out just because of social media. Maybe it's because they are depressed, a shut in, bullied, or something in their life that has made them think that they don't belong to society Social media is sometimes used to escape the real world. People would make this as their way of reliving stress, sadness. We need this! Maybe not all of us would say the same, but sometimes we must put ourselves in their shoes to know better.
@@chunkygolem3054 this comment might be useless. but I just left tiktok for over a year. It felt so free seeing reality. I remember my brother watching youtube videos of ppl just screaming 24/7 meanwhile I was doing everything what my mind said. Social media - new dimension Gaming - 2nd dimension Reality - 1st dimension ( we currently equiped )
December 2016 is when i ditched Facebook and Instagram and started reading and studying books heavily. I had so much time for myself When i tell people how happy i am without them they look at me as if i am from a different planet.
Except we are watching something valuable. Technology is good when used for the right reasons. There is a treasure trove of valuable information that sadly not many people are seeking out.
I knew social media was was draining me literally. I’d find myself scrolling for hours looking for an answer to questions I didn’t even have…I lost myself because I became popular and got lost in trying to figure out “WHAT CAN I POST NEXT TO PLEASE OTHER?! It’s a vicious cycle of finding happiness and confidence through others opinions. It’s been months since I’ve strayed away from social media and I’ve been focused on growing MENTALLY, SPIRITUALLY, PHYSICALLY, AND FINANCIALLY!!! And I love my connection that I’m growing with the world now. I love physical contact and conversation now it’s more Pure and memorable.
i have been doing this for awhile, I think about pulling my phone to take a picture or video but then I remember I want to remember it in my organic storage unit. Much more satisfying.
Well some people like photography as a hobby. I would post pictures and never even look at the reactions I don't even know about any likes comments etc. So I was not doing it for dopamine like a gambler. Just share for the sake of sharing.
Hey everyone, I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found some insight in some of the destructive behaviours that can be developed with excessive social media use. This was interesting for myself and my team to understand and learn more about.
I will say a couple of things. I really don't condone the hurtful things being said about Mark Zuckerberg's appearance, I know the thumbnail overdramatises the video. Many people are saying quite a lot of unsettling things and I get it you are like "he is rich, who cares", but that's not the point, bullying is bullying and saying hurtful things is bad. I hope you can see where I'm coming from. Doesn't matter if they are a billionaire or some outcast from some part of the world. This is not what we are about.
It's important to be critical of big companies and it's important to be fair and objective in your analysis.
I don't think Mark is a bad person or Facebook in general are bad or even social media but as Chamath says in the video, "if you feed the beast the beast will eat you." This is the most important point of the video.
I encourage you all to take a more nuanced approach to the video and not to view it has a pure condemnation, how we grow as a society and as people is to understand and use empathy.
For me the video serves as a cautionary tale as to what can happen when you go on autopilot mode and what can happen is that your time and attention is controlled by others. This isn't just about social media it is about anything in life.
Anyways, be kind. Be fair and objective. Speak your mind but respectfully, if you hate social media say it, if you love it say it. Share why you think so or don't.
The most important thing is that we engage in a dialogue together.
With love,
Nav
Yes. We are all now part of the 'attention economy'. What to do? Feel more fear and create more enemies? More likes for hating those we perceive to be controlling us? Not a solution.
Talk it over with others...debate but don't despair. Dare to be different: switch off your phone when you can...explain your actions to others...value the quiet undisturbed mind. It is the basis for personal peace and social harmony.
I liked being able to be in contact with friends and family I haven't seen or talked to in years, but if you share content not to their liking even if it is true, Facebook and Twitter will tag it as false content. I deleted my Twitter and only use Facebook to check on family and friends now. And I rarely get on there. Its a waste of time. I mostly use my phone as a phone and at times watch videos if I'm bored. I truly agree with what you said in this video. I'm just sorry so many kids are bullied and commit suicide over social media. Its really sad!
I would usually agree with your point about ad hominem comments about Mark Zuckerberg, however, when you consider all that he can do to us and all we can do to him it is the equivalent of being run over by a bus and the victim scratching the chrome off the bumper. He can addict our children and younger generations to Facebook causing immeasurable damage to society, ban political, social and individual pages that he and his employees dislike, influence elections and put pressure on governments, harvest our data and sell us to the highest bidder and in the process become so rich that he can buy his own island. We can call him a few names. The fact that I think he has head shaped like an egg isn't going to keep me up at night!
@@burtingtune yep...hearing your sentiments, especially for the generations to come.
Luckily some of us didn't grown up with " tech-social-media "
Some of us grew up on donkey Kong hand games, playing in our front yard safely, talking on telephones and generally no devises except a tellavision:.so we are lucky we know how to switch these distractions, controlling mind-bending machines OFF. It is sad and bloody unfortunate, let's hope 🙏next generations will hopefully learn from parents who genuinely give their time and a ...hoot about their children. And use CRITICAL thinking well without reservation to the TruTH

Powerful quote! That is indeed true!

That is 100% true!
Exactly
nothing is free, someone always pays the price
I hate when a friend visits my home and just sits there staring at their phone. I always wonder why they visited. And it happens a lot. I find it rude and frustrating. Now I understand it.
Yea. It's a shame when sitting somewhere and everyone on their phones when they could be spending time together.
Well, everytime i and my friends hang out , i'm always the only person not to have my eyes glued to the smatphone's screen. i also persuade my friends to put their phones down. We could have a lovely conversation , rather than just sitting there staring at the phones. Sometimes i feel i am ignored and isolated by my friends. That hurts me lot. this is the first time i have commented in english ^^
And now in parties people just keep taking selfies instead of enjoying the party... ( sorry for my bad English )
I can commiserate with you and visitors YES I'd rather a Visitor stay away if they're gonna " live" on their ph at your/my house etc.
Felt this!
the fact that everyone who deleted social media doesn’t regret it just goes to show how really unhealthy it is. how did we all manage to fall into this trap??
It was new, we bit, we spat out.
ikr? i remember before i had a phone i wondered why the fuck people choose to spend so much time on social media and on their phones.....and now look where i am years later: i'm exactly like the other fools whove spent too much time on this shit. i want to delete my social media for good, even if it makes my chances at my career worse, than good: i just want to be focused and happier again. social media takes that away for me.
@@DEADEYESTUDIO IKR! My FB is a cobweb/dust collection site now. I'm going to delete it. I'm Gen-X, so I've got no qualms about being considered weird: I have always been weird. I'm keeping TH-cam for now. It's fun.
I've begun to turn off my phone after 9pm & all day on Sundays ‐ keeps me mostly sane. The people who I see in person deserve my full attention too, so I put my phone away.
I keep in mind that my gadgets are my tools & I use my tools - my tools do NOT use me.
Food for thought: If my "friends" won't call me and talk vs social media, then perhaps they aren't my "friends"... just sayin'.
A phone call takes LESS time than scrolling on a screen anyway.
We still are by watching TH-cam
Nah they usually come back after a week
I just deleted my social medias a few days ago, at first it's difficult because people around you use it and always talk about subjects that you have no idea what it's about, but it ends up being good not knowing because they are ridiculous things that add nothing to our lives. It's so good to see that people like me are realizing how much this can destroy our lives
How’re you feeling now? Thanks for watching!
I deleted mine 8 months ago and let me tell you.. Im finally able to take the time for things i always wanted to do but couldnt cause i was so addicted. You also realise that youre not missing out on anything like you just said caus its nothing really important. I also havent watched the news in about 7 years now and i still knew about all the important things going on. Social media is a waste of time.
@@nbbb2102 exactly!
It's been years since I used social media. I feel great, actually I feel prestegious, being the only normally aware and mindful person without anything holding me, i know how my day is spent and where time is being wasted. Like, I am truly grateful.
You got to delete TH-cam too
Social Media Has Ruined Mindsets, Goals, Relationships, Patience, Motivation, Friendships, Confidence, And Communication.
Fax 💯 and it can also lower your motivation and constantly distract you from what you need to do
I find TH-cam so informative, except for some.non-sense vlogs of TH-camrs.
💯
It ruined my health too. I used to open social media apps for no reason all the time just because it started getting into my muscle memory and I was truly just addicted to it. I stopped remembering why I even used Instagram so much I just felt like I had to to fill the void. I’d spent many hours on it just scrolling through shit I didn’t care about and I’d start to forget to do normal daily things like eating and even hygiene like showering.
But It also helped some people. guys it isn't always black or white. everything has its bad and good side and so does social media.
This is scary. Social media seems to be the devils playground. We need to disconnect and really reconnect with one another.
@Darth Vader Why that?
Ruined relationships marriage kids 😒 all of it
@Darth Vader especially in this pandemic situation _-
@Moriel Logos Hmm
Years ago we got by just fine without cell phones and video games.
Sometimes I feel technology hasn't made our lives better.
the fact that this was made even before TIKTOK blew up makes it even scarier because now the problem is way worse

I feel like tiktok is worse than social media
tiktok has announced a very severe crackdown on people who have gone crazy.
i’ve never in my life left money on a youtube channel but this video is so powerful and necessary. this needs more attention. this is the truth of our lives now. phone addiction. sometimes i wish someone would hack every network out of existence so we could get back to what matters
This is beyond kind of you. Thank you for supporting our channel and for also watching and commenting. We are beyond grateful.
I don't but honestly, people need a bit of a detox from everything that's mainstream to just chill out, maybe rest from work. I hope soon they'll get bored and it won't be like TV for boomers - there's nothing anymore except for propaganda and the same movies on repeat but they'll waste a few more decades and their relations on it.
The worst thing is that now....those kind of rare and incredible videos are unwatchable because of the TH-cam ads which pops up and deconcentrate you
Keep up the great work 💪 it's recommending now @@AbsoluteMotivation

Social media has made us so eager to "Show and tell" but there is beauty in privacy. Everything isn't meant to be on display. It's perfectly fine to keep some things for you
Beautiful well said
Amen!!!! I agree
That reminds me of a time I did a solo trip to Seattle. I didn’t even want people to know I went there. I didn’t post any pictures til 6 months later. I wanted that trip to be MY trip and enjoy my privacy and time alone. I feel that divulging it to others would somehow steal the excitement from me.

Potent words ey?
I quit social media 2 years ago and it has definitely been the best decision in my life, I don't feel depressed anymore and I found much more meaning in life.
Wow. So profound to hear that it got rid of your depression and you found meaning. That is incredible!
thats cool buddy, but youtube is almost the same:) a lot of attention distraction, almost impossible to study using youtube as a source. U need a lot of strength of your will and self control. But yeah it's still better than scrolling news on the wall:D
Social media is depressing except for TH-cam! I've realized it's a place operating at a low frequency where it traps energy.
The major problem with traditional social media (i. e. fb, Twitter instagram, etc), is that most people develop a virtual image that seems to be perfect, and many others compare themselves to that image, making them feel that their life is miserable or that they haven't accomplished anything, the social media algorithms make people to see all the time people with apparent wonderful lives, and the latest problem is, because politics have become a major topic in the latest years (specially with certain disease), a lot of people that you have in your contacts (friends, family, etc) will insult you if you share something opposed to their opinion, also most of the social media will keep censoring one side, so, it will seem that the majority of people have certain sentiment and will demoralize anyone that thinks different even more; it's a bunch of problems, that's why there are many mentally ill people nowadays.
I’ve only been on FB 2 times this year. Life is better without it and I’m more focused on self learning. The only reason i use keep messenger is, there are some people I want to stay in contact with but don’t want to give them my number.
But admit it that TH-cam is the most useful and beneficial social app. I learnt so many things from it . So i can't deny 😕
Same! Until the algorithm sprinkles in a random video that grabs my attention and then I enter the rabbit hole, mindlessly surfing vid after vid 🏄🏽♂️
TH-cam has fantastic material but it has changed tremendously over the years and there is more and more aggressive solicitation of your attention. Look at the use of banners. You're in the middle of watching a clip and already they're trying to pull you to the next one. And now they have more and more video shorts and more and more ads.
Same, TH-cam is the only app i use to get away from reality
Yeah, also skill share.
I'm In real estate and Marketing on Facebook is insane. There is no better way too do it.
i deleted all of my social media accounts 3 years ago and I've never been happier. Yes, people give me weird looks but i value my mental health wayyy more
Aren't you using a social media account right now? Considering the fact that TH-cam is also social media?😭
@@lydia21936exactly! Also imo , YT is essential and the next generations need to know how to work with tech, so not caring about the newest tech isn’t very smart, but quitting Snap, TT , IG is such a great idea!
No instagram?! Ok u have Facebook then? No?! Snapchat?! No?! I SAID NO I DONT HAVE ANY SOCIAL MEDIA STOP ASKING I SAID NONE AT ALL. Lmao bruh 😂
@@lydia21936you can easily use TH-cam and not entertain dumb arguments in the comments 😂 I use it to watch sermons and study more about Jesus and learn how to do things for free. So nah it’s not always social media but if you have no self control then yes it’s dangerous as heck. To the majority it’s a big danger.
But we cannot delete TH-cam

I quit social media over a week ago and I already now feel so much better then ever in my life. I have been dealing with depression since the age of 12 (9 years ago) and social media only made it worse. My love for reading and musik is coming back and I’m learning how to deal with being bored and I love it.
Good stuff, super proud of ya!
how do you fight back the urge to download instagram or scroll though tiktok again?
Good luck! Good for you! and keep going!
Good shit, I need the medias for music promo on my band but I have an app that locks me out of it. Social media is so bad and I just noticed after using for so long that I would just feel like SHIT anytime I used it.

I’m sad about apps like Tinder too. Relationships and intimacy shouldn’t be like fast food. I want my children to value others and to be valued by others in ways that are meaningful, respectful and fulfilling.
PS Milspouse what’s most depressing about this subject is that any time one goes up to another from the opposite sex to try and spark a conversation or potentially find your soulmate, you’re thought of as a creep so people feel safe to use these apps for those reason. I hate it.
I think social media has made people alot more colder to others
PS Milspouse I met my girlfriend on tinder n wouldn’t have crossed paths otherwise n we’re together 3 years n expecting our 1st baby both of us r very happy in our relationship. I agree a lot of trolls but is that not an issue with ourselves as individuals n as a society...

Evidence for Jesus Christ’s existence, crucifixion, and disappearance from the grave (He rose from it):
The Lord Jesus Christ did exist, gathered disciples, and was crucified and went missing from the grave. To argue about wether He was taken from the grave or rose from it, is an argument a skeptic can make. Because well if you disregard the eye witness testimony of the disciples and there willingness to die for Christ, and humans won’t die for something they know is a lie, when Peter is pinned upside down to that cross, he could have said that it was a fake, but He didn’t because it wasn’t, what care would he have about death in this world if he knew for a fact he had assurance of a life in another, Jesus Christ did rise from the grave and is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Now the evidence for the Lord Jesus Christ’s existence really isn’t hard to find a multitude of non-Christian scholars and historians mention Him within 150 years after the time of His life. One such is Tacitus a Roman historian who reported on emperor nero’s decision to blame the Christians for the fire that had destroyed rome in 64 AD. Tacitus wrote:
“Nero fastened the guilt ... on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of ... Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judaea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome…”
In this Tacitus makes reference to not only Christians, but Christ calling Him Christus and confirming the Gospels going on to say that He suffered the extreme penalty (crucifixion) under the reign of Tiberius and by the sentence of Pontius Pilate, which like I said confirms the Gospels narrative.
Another important source of evidence about Jesus and early Christianity can be found in the letters of Pliny the Younger to Emperor Trajan. Pliny was the Roman governor of Bithynia in Asia Minor. In one of his letters, dated around A.D. 112, he asks Trajan's advice about the appropriate way to conduct legal proceedings against those accused of being Christians. Pliny says that he needed to consult the emperor about this issue because a great multitude of every age, class, and sex stood accused of Christianity. At one point in his letter, Pliny relates some of the information he has learned about these Christians:
“They were in the habit of meeting on a certain fixed day before it was light, when they sang in alternate verses a hymn to Christ, as to a god, and bound themselves by a solemn oath, not to any wicked deeds, but never to commit any fraud, theft or adultery, never to falsify their word, nor deny a trust when they should be called upon to deliver it up; after which it was their custom to separate, and then reassemble to partake of food - but food of an ordinary and innocent kind.”
This passage provides a number of interesting insights into the beliefs and practices of early Christians. First, we see that Christians regularly met on a certain fixed day for worship. Second, their worship was directed to Christ, demonstrating that they firmly believed in His divinity. Furthermore, one scholar interprets Pliny's statement that hymns were sung to Christ, "as to a god", as a reference to the rather distinctive fact that, "unlike other gods who were worshipped, Christ was a person who had lived on earth." If this interpretation is correct, Pliny understood that Christians were worshipping an actual historical person as God! Of course, this agrees perfectly with the New Testament doctrine that Jesus was both God and man.
You may have heard of the scholar Flavius Josephus who mentioned James as being the brother of the Lord Jesus Christ, which matches what Paul said calling James “The Lord’s brother” and there is another document that Josephus may have written which goes:
“About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a man. For he ... wrought surprising feats.... He was the Christ. When Pilate ...condemned him to be crucified, those who had . . . come to love him did not give up their affection for him. On the third day he appeared ... restored to life.... And the tribe of Christians ... has ... not disappeared.”
Now it’s up to debate wether this is the entirely original document of what Josephus wrote, or if a Christian had edited it. But regardless he wrote about the Lord Jesus Christ. Wether it was negative or positive like the possible document is. Anyways there are many other statements, documents, letters, and writings of all sorts from the ancient world talking about the Lord Jesus Christ and there is not one question if He was a real person or if He was crucified and went missing from the grave. That is clear as day, He is a real person, was crucified, and went missing from the grave. And He did rise from the grave. And for more evidence of the Lord Jesus Christ, there’s the Bible and you see there is no evidence the Bible is corrupted, a lie, created by the Roman government, folktale. It is the recount of the Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, now wether you want to believe it is up to you. And what profit was there in spreading Christianity, All the early Christian suffered persecution, beatings, and were killed. Another Scholar reported that James the Lord’s Brother was thrown off a building and then stoned to death for spreading the Gospel in Jerusalem. These people went to great lengths even giving their own lives for Adonai Jesus Christ.

Have you ever seen what happens to people who get stranded somewhere without internet on their phones for more than an hour? They start pacing and getting irritable and rubbing on their arms. This happens -everywhere-. It's really sad.
That’s what drug addicts do when they are cut off from something they’re use to getting when they crave it
Personally I’m relieved, finally silence and I can hear my own thoughts. Just enjoying the company of my doggos. Hopefully people realize the issue caused by addictive technology and learn how to hold back. Ignorance is what puts people is these vulnerable positions.
My phone died for some odd reason. I was driving and using Google maps. Panic came over. This just happened.
That’s probably because they’re anxious and stranded more than withdrawal symptoms. Come on.
@@imy5279 That's not an example of addiction. It's simply being without a functional tool, when you actually needed it. If you were on the highway the anxiety would undoubtedly be greater since you could potentially drive farther distances & find yourself farther out of your way than you intended. If you were on a schedule, the problem of not knowing where to go would heighten that anxiety, understandably. GPS is not always reliable. *Suggestion:* Think what you would have done to prepare to get there _before GPS was a thing_ & do that as a backup. Anxiety & full on panic is typically rooted in unpreparedness, which heightens our fear, depending on the circumstances & the person's ability to handle stress of the unknowns. Also, it would be a good idea to learn the phone numbers of 3 of the closest people to you (if you don't already know them). It's important info to have in an emergency when you don't have access to your contacts. Be prepared. Just a thought
Social media has turned dating into online shopping. Relationships will never be the same again.
@Johann Pretorius exception isn't an example
@Johann Pretorius I believe netflix changed the whole dating game; it normalized Multiple threesome so well that a healthy relationship is fucking rare.
@Johann Pretorius Bangladesh.
No, online dating sites in general have turned dating into online shopping. Women have this "plenty of fish" mentality, so when they see a profile that doesn't have pics of a hot guy or if the profile doesn't fill out their shopping list...they move on because, there's hundreds of other profiles to browse through. Online dating is something else I quit doing, because my greetings being constantly ignored was just making my depression even worse and making me feel I wasn't worth anything to anyone. 14 years worth of off and on use of date sites has almost destroyed my hope for ever finding romantic love again.

The turning point was my kids seeing me happier and enjoying nature, reading books, doing crafts, and having less stress to live the good life. We are not glued to our phones and we laugh more, talk, listen to music and dance more. Very liberating!!!
See I make people realize what they're doing because that's disrespectful.. How dare you? My time is precious!!! 🤷♀️
it's horrible!! I want human to human interaction
Yea its like when people go to "watch" foreworks......no they go stare at their phones to see if the fireworks is in the frame so they can show off on fb.....its so sad
Why didn't you speak up about it at that very moment to get the family to engage with one another?
I honestly think the adults are more addicted to social media than children and that's why the youth will continue to sink deeper down the hole.
I have depression. And I deleted all my social media (I use TH-cam sometimes) and I feel much more happier.
I go to a therapist, I'm more outside, reading books, enjoying christmas. I'm SICK of society! And hey, people!! The planet is dying!! Social media is ruining our lives. That's reality.
Maria Grande well done and I am the something now. I feel free for good
Sad to hear it though, I´ve been in a simular situation so i know to a certain point how you may have felt. If i can give you a tip, start to work out (for scientific evidence: you increase dopamine naturally and seratonin as well. One motivates you the second one helps coping with stress. Also running increases brain capability and it has been a lifechanger for me. If you need a proper chanel for fitness education head for athleanx on youtube he helped me with developing fundamental knowledge and mindset.
I don't know if you are religious or nor but you actually don't not need a therapist. You just need God and to detox from what you've heard or seen or might have read. Totally detox. Read the Bible for yourself don't listen to pastors or anyone do it yourself.
Iagree with Stephanie, get to know Jesus he loves you without strings it's not about religiuon it's about having a personal relationship with our creator and I gurantee he will not let you down or leave you like fake freinds on social media as long as we keep a humble heart, all I can tell you is that since i've known him my life has been so much better he's blessed me so much since I got svaed so now I tell others about his love and goodness.
Good for you that you are finding happiness outside of fake social media platforms.
I used to have friends before these stupid social medias existed.
Then the question would be: Were they ever your friends if they fell to the addiction? No offense, consider yourself lucky if YOU didn't get hooked. All of us have stories about losing friends and even being unable to create meaningful friendships due to social media.
*IKR* my family doesn't even fuckin' talk to me anymore, even WITH social media apps. (i've done everything correct, and nothing wrong to them), it's just THE ELITI$T$ agenda//////////////////////
Amen this social media is really destroying people
@@hallelujahentertainmentvlo7753 I’m glad there are people who have a similar perception on this topic. I believe that I found it very difficult to interact with on one another due to the fact that many people that I’ve met in high school for example are deeply rooted in to social media.
@Snake Eyes agreed indeed. the nuclear family is no more. pals and galpals are a rarity, now. The double-edged-sword of scientific progress.
It saddens me to see how apt your title is. How could I have missed this for so long, when it was uploaded five years ago and still resonates with me today?
It's recently been going viral, so you are not alone.
Same here. It popped up in my feed 2 nights ago and I'm really glad I found this video. Kudos to the maker of it. I had a social media account for six months in 2020 (pandemic) and got rid of it for the same reasons I heard being mentioned in this video. I could see how toxic it was from day 1 but I wanted to see where it would go. I reconnected with some people and that was enough. It was a second corrupt world that I didn't need to live in. Let's keep our minds on things above.
@@AbsoluteMotivationpeople are starting to realize everything is not real anymore
As a person who has never used social media because it always seemed boring, I see this as an absolute win
For real. That’s why I got rid of 10 years ago I thought it was boring and even the other apps came out then I was like this is too much work, and now with everybody being creators it’s like that shit is probably so overwhelming now! I can’t imagine it. Lol
Isn't this social media?
@@nickijones707 no it’s not.
@@nickijones707 Yes, it is.
TH-cam is social media .. so, fail.
I’ve deactivated my Instagram for 3 weeks now because I legit would compare myself to every other girl and get sad over it. It’s such a refreshing feeling but I’ve been itching to go back so this video describes everything perfectly.
i unfollow some instagram account that makes my life seems not great... and some negative people who share negative quotes... and it changes my life... i'm more happier...
I permanently deleted mine
Will u go back again ....itching
chanduu charan funny story.. Instagrams bitch ass DELETED my account. So I am currently creating a new one.
I did the same thing back in September for some of the same feelings. I hate doing all this work to feel good about myself just to get on SM and see someone killing it lol. You're beautiful btw
I am so happy that I never got addicted to any social media. Real life is much better.
Elaine, you said it perfectly! Real life is much better.
I agree
Im glad I don’t have social media😂 I’m talking more about Instagram, Facebook, Twitter etc. In my opinion TH-cam is not really social media because you’re not really socializing it’s more about content. Unless I’m wrong lol I’m not really in the TH-cam community
@@klarakiss3186 me too❤
She says... in a post on social media. lol
It's been 3 years since I delete my social media account and now I am much more happier in my life and have so many times and can do so many things. work on my hobby go outside spend time with my family and I am grateful that I am not on social media
Good to hear you're more happy now. Thanks for watching!
Next time you go outside your house, into the public, notice how many people actually are just starring down on their phone. It's really scary. I go to work everyday by bus and people don't look at each other anymore. It's really sad. I still have facebook and Instagram but I never post anything, it's all just fake. Fake people showing fake lives, giving other people anxiety and depression.
8rboy yep Zombie Nation, literally like the walking dead
Agreed. It SUCKS. But I try to pick friends wisely, people who get it and know how to be present.
DOPAMINE
Exactly
WW3 is done by colonizing the human unconscious/subconscious mind with bizull shit. And fear.
I deleted my facebook 6 months ago to focus on my studies and boy does it feel more peaceful.
Ι don't want to scare you but your fb account cannot be deleted. I thought I had done it too, but after many many years I entered my previous email and saw thousands of notification despite I had ''deleted'' it... It's there and will forever be! Believe me...
Nice. I bet you made a lot more progress than if you had been on social media.
Facebook sucks
@@Honeywell888 You didn't delete it. You deactivated it. Big difference.
IIRC when you are deleting the account it will bring you to a page to confirm it, and it stated clearly that you could recover it within a period (several weeks or months I forgot). Lol I never went back to recover it anyway. And I remember it is very complex to find the way to delete it because I searched at many sections in my previous fb account but still couldn't find it, so I googled and went to a link that brought me to there.
I did this like... 2 or 3 years ago because I don't need it at all. News feed rarely helpful in any way and I don't care if my friends drink milk for their breakfast (yes literally, some friends posted that).
I remember the first thing I woke up scrolling for news feed in fb even though I knew it will never bring any useful information to me. I don't know why, it's just the things my housemates always did and I followed it. When they got something trivial they would share it with everyone as if they have found treasures....
Wake up, lie on the bed scrolling for an hour or 2, scrolling whole day, scrolling when having meals and another scrolling session for an hour or two before bed. Best way to demolish your life when you couldn't control your temptation.
People think you are invisible and have no life if you don't use facebook or instagram. It is better to be invisible rather than being depressed or having no real life
Well said! I feel the same.
Lol its funny people have to wonder what im doing... "where do you work".or "are you still with your boyfriend i see your profile picture change" lol i just laugh keep them guessing 😉
Edit: its really sad that some people live double lives
What if you are both: invisible in plain sight, but still in the world, acting not for the purpose of being vane but for something bigger for example?
@@amysass1919 Amen !
No one is invisible I suggest you change your friends, etc ,for the love of God these very same people who are bashing social media are on it using it to not do something constructive like helping people. They are using it to make others feel bad about it and themselves. They are a joke and the jokes on them. Never listen to people who try to steal.
The sad part is... most of us already know this but still continue doing it as its literally an addiction.
I know what you mean. It is sad indeed.
Fast from it for a month. After a month, you won’t even miss it.
Yes!
I swear
So true it’s now over a year that fb was toxic as hell
Facebook blocked my accounts many times what they didn’t understand is that they literally gave me a taste of freedom
Thank you Facebook for showing me the way to exit
This! Now I cannot stand it
It’s so concerning how social-media has glamourised the worst of human attributes: vanity, exaggerated self-importance, boastfulness, materialism, deception, envy, ostentation, narcissism, superiority. Please don’t be programmed into believing that any of these traits are positive, they’re not.
sara ev So true
sara ev the religion of SELF
Well said. Selling one's soul, literally.
Very eloquently put; well done *respect*
always talking about no being materialistic coming from the most rich countries who keep the power and money like crazy even with destroyed another countries funny fact
I always see this behaviour in my class and it's honestly scary. The second the teacher leaves the class for a moment, all students will whip out their phone to scroll through TikTok or similiar apps. They also do it in class when the teacher isn't looking. What's also annoying about it is how the students will complain about receiving bad grades and try to shift the blame to the teacher. It's mind-boggling.
I am an economics prof -- I've experienced such a change in student happiness, engagement and anxiety over the last 5-6 years than in all my the years before. One of the life-lessons I try to share with my students is the saying "What others think about me is none of my business!" If one truly lives by this, then the reliance on our phones would drop to a fraction of what it is now.
Honestly, they need to completely outlaw all of these social media apps, and make it illegal and make the companies shut it down, for the good of society
Have you thought about asking college psychology students about any studies or thesis that could help you and your friends be involved in (something) that could add to the scientific body of knowledge about TECHNIQUES of slowing down or quitting social medias that are the healthy ways... College students love smart questions put to them, and want to help, and have to stick to a tight schedule - but if real curriculum related work can help, they'd be willing to work with others willing to put the work into it - with them.
Tic tok,twitter,Instagram is the biggest scam there ever was. When someone catches up with you and robs you of all your personal thoughts and gets into your bank and possibly your house, you will understand. If you need to be liked maybe you should stop looking outward. Your needs are not important to me and all you people cryin and whining about privacy while your life is wide open as you give it away
Saw one recently where teacher took phone from 17 year old and she pepper sprayed him. In a few years she will no doubt sue the prison system cuz they won't allow he/she/it to have social media in jail where she belongs.
The background music your brother had been done absolutely mind boggling ❤
In a good way I hope!
it's also extremely narcissistic, which ultimately is horribly self-destructive.
Sm teaches you to become self destructive
@Matt Ludwig
yup. as someone else put it, "be careful what you hate, that you don't become it."
or, "I have seen the enemy, and it is us."
Damn true
Since I have deleted Instagram and Facebook I have been less depressed. I don't worry about other people's lives, what they have and I don't. It's refreshing to be able to just breathe, and not worry about who posted what or who liked what
Averi Watkins - Me too. I avoided it for years, started using in 2015, then became so anxious about my image and likes and even negative politics, that I ended up upset. I announced my departure in an emotional Fb video and went off.
Averi Watkins same here. I realized this when MySpace was cool to have. So when everyone talked about facebook and went over to that, I chose not to follow because I realized I was comparing my life with others and feeling depressed. I decided if I really want to know what my friends are doing or how they are ill be in contact with them.
Averi Watkins I needed this thank you . I've been so consumed with other people's lives I lose focus on my own .
D'Jhane Costin not only does it add depression or a large amount of life comparison, it makes us lose the ability of human interaction. People are constantly looking down on their phones and missing all the beauty in the world around them. We're missing life happening around us, and focusing on the one little highlight in someone's day like their plate of lunch, its silly ya know?
Averi Watkins less drama too
Since I delated my Facebook and Instagram my life become Peaceful
So much time you have. You can have all this freedom. Allegory of the Cave.

Becka Garcia that's good
TH-cam id social media and just as bad lol.
I stopped doing heroin only crack now.
Either was everything in moderation but some people don’t have the willpower to do things in moderation,
crunch9876 yeah I suppose, but it’s not like you’re putting your life up for everyone to see, unless you’re a TH-camr then that would apply. Everything in moderation though, yeah you’re right 🙂
Me as well ! I have NOTHING but TH-cam. Deleted fb, Snapchat. Never had a Twitter or IG. Ive never been happier
TH-cam is the most natural social media compared to Facebook Snapchat etc. You cannot even argue that. It’s more like a, I drink once a week rather than do crack every day with Snapchat lol
I quit social media when I was losing my mother. In just those short 8 months I learned more about her than I had learned my entire life. Almost 3 years later it was hands down the best decision I've ever made.
That is great, I luckily still have both parents around, I need to spend more time with them. Thank you.
So, communication on TH-cam isn't social media then?
@@pakabe8774 it’s a lot safer than most exotic social media platforms like twitter or TikTok

I have been off of FB for over a year. I had one , just one friend text me asking if I fell off the face of the earth. Those were his exact words. I told him I am living an actual life now.
Yeah. This week is my first month off social media. And zero friends have reached out. Its eye opening.
The paradox of that!!!! Did you fall off the face of the earth, no!!!! We really do believe social media is our reality and when we meet people that don’t have social media we think it’s weird.

Social media has caused us to literally turn our backs on our own local neighborhoods and communities in favor of communicating and virtual befriending people from other parts of the country and other countries. While it is great to get to know people from other parts of the USA and the world, it should never come at the expense of face to face communication with people in our local neighborhoods and communities.
Interesting perspective. Thanks for sharing. Have you noticed this happen where you’re from?
Not only that but nowadays people don’t even use social media to virtually communicate anymore, it’s more about mindless scrolling which ironically transforms us into the opposite of “social” and makes us cluelessly isolated into our own rooms. And it’s quite sad because considering that even if you try to quit, it’s not like your friends or your family will too, and you will have to helplessly watch them consume this messed up algorithm in exchange of their attention and neurons. As a teenager there is no way you won’t lose a big fraction of your friends and have the reputation of the “weird kid” in the school you are in. But nevertheless you should put your mental health first and search for the people who are also conscious, even if they are not around you right now.
awww this hurts my heart actually
Deleted all my social media besides things like TH-cam and Pinterest... life feels so much simpler and I know who my true friends are. Get the courage to delete it! There won’t be any regrets!
Couldnt agree more
Yes me too!! I have had them deleted for 5 years and it's the best thing ever!!🤗
I still use youtube only because I make gaming videos on my spare time after a 8-5 work day still have facebook and tweeter but never never use them only use them to send videos to but I have never wrote a post for them just using them i guess
I call Pinterest Pornetrest because they are disgusting.
I love youtube but not the fake videos > i tend to expose them.
Haven’t been on Facebook in years . It’s all a lie . People always wanting to show people how good their lives are !! It’s all false!!

They made and posted this video on TH-cam (a social media platform) so that those people who'll watch this video will realize what they're doing. Where do you think they'll post it, on a newspaper?
thank you so much for this video. i deleted social media about 4 months ago and it makes me feel so much better, i have better, more interesting goals, i started reading, matching movies, reading articles and practicing art again, which makes me feel so much better. this video motivated me to keep my efforts to not reinstall social media and to continue putting my time and energy into things that fulfill me. to anyone hesitating to delete them, do it. i promise once it’s done it’s way easier than it seems (after a week or two you even forget to check your phone while it obsessed you before) and i never heard anyone saying they regretted doing it.

@@deja7615 Social media is still pretty good! Social media is designed to kill time, communicate with others, a good source of information, and ect.
