I think Gen Z is defined by vulnerablility and authenticity to some extent, so Reddit and Discord encourage and welcome this. Compared to Facebook and Instagram where there is this pressure that life has to be happy and perfect all the time.
my mother told me that the advice from a good willed stranger is the best kind of advice as he doesn't know you he will heed to the problem without expecting anything in return and won't try to sabotage your life by giving wrong advice as many relatives do also if the stranger is giving the advice he will most likely be expert in the field or would have gone through the same thing so its way better than to ask some nonexpert relative about it
@@anshik.k.t Young people can spend too much time on toxic subreddits dedicated to redpill, redpillwomen, MGTOW mindset (which are already quarantined). Reddit is an echo chamber. You will most likely find another person who shares same beliefs as you, and their posts & comments can grow on you.
Honestly, this channel gives me hope for the future of India. We need more channels like yours to bring light to issues that aren’t talked about in India. Hopefully the school systems become of better quality to educate students from a young age about such topics.
Most importantly, there is no fear of judgement from anyone. If I tell my problems to someone irl, I fear judgement. But online, I do not fear about how some user judges me because we are strangers to each other. Oh, and also dank memes.
Young people refuse to share their personal problems with others because... "The biggest communication problem is we do not listen to understand, we listen to reply "
You'd actually find people who you can relate to & your thoughts on Reddit. It is truly a goldmine when it comes to connecting to people who can relate to.
Reddit can be a echo chamber hellhole taking the example of r/india and r/chodi. Though r/chodi wont ban you but the Hindutvabadis there will downvote you to oblivion, while r/india straight up ban any positive opinion of india or different opinion.
@@SafavidAfsharid3197 Nah... I got permanently banned from r/Chodi just because I corrected some false facts about Mahatma Gandhi that were being shared on that sub especially on 2nd October. Never went back to that sub again cos it was toxic. I agree with strict mods on r/India as well, it seems they're very intolerant when it comes to trolling other communities.
The good thing about Reddit and discord is we can find really matured people depending on servers/ r channels. They can understand your problems better than your irl friends. People who lack social skills are free on this type of platforms where they can connect with you and mostly share same problems ;)
@@infinityxtanishq8712 Mostly they are private servers, so you can't get in easily. According to my assumption, you're mostly in gaming servers where you sit with 9yr olds mostly.
@@kushasurya2220wasn't discord originally supposed to be for gamers only? Can't blame me for being in gaming servers if it existed for that purpose itself😅
@@infinityxtanishq8712 Discord mentioned that they started for gaming servers only? If then why they would bring out explore servers in different genre feature? They never claimed that they started only for gamers.
@@JoY_7. The reason Discord started was to be able to communicate with friends around the world while playing games online. Then it evolved later into multiple things.
4:00 is all that needs to be said on the relationship between Gen Z and our parents. That's why we don't open in front of our elders, choosing our friends instead. We want understanding and empathy more than just brutely pushing towards what's objectively “right”.
Wanting only empathy and understanding all the time makes people needy and emotionally fragile. Some advice to "Pull yourselves together" isn't bad or cruel. All successful people have had their share of struggles. They didn't constantly need reassurances. The american culture of continuously seeking support for one's failures and even justifying them always without honestly introspecting and changing for the better is seeping into India. A desire for empathy and sympathy when confronted with troubles is but natural and people should receive support. However, one must guard against sinking into seeking frequent validation and sympathy online without confronting one's shortcomings and working on them.
@@vidyaarvind4458Agreed. I used to have a dislike towards my parents for that. They wouldn't give even a slight look towards my attention seeking behaviour. Now as I look back, I really appreciate what they did. They toughened me up for the challenges to come.
@@bingchilling3377 as I said, seeking some emotional support is a human need fresh out of a tragedy or during tough times. But what we are seeing now among Gen Z is definitely worrying and unhealthy. Either they are too lackadaisical to care or too woke taking everything to heart, examining everything at a molecular level and turning resentful and cynical. American culture has perpetuated this belief that the individual and his or her needs and feelings and liberty should always take precedence over collective good. This is why it is an extremely polarised country and thanks to that culture seeping into India via SM, our youngsters too are fast following the Americans and Brits. Agreed that not every parent is understanding and many are authoritative and toxic too. But it is equally true that under the influence of SM, more and more youngsters are turning needlessly rebellious over many issues which can be solved by discussion or simply letting time pass by. They are firmly convinced that anonymous online advice is the best and parents know nothing. This is only going to spell doom for the mental and emotional health of our youngsters.
Unlike how the other replies say , you can't compare with american culture , there they from the beginning go with the thought of making them independent from childhood and at 15 it's not weird if they want to live alone or work to study higher. Here does honestly any of that support happen or is such freedom given even if asked? NO , parents here expect gen Z to grow up close with them until they get a degree and a job , they don't allow you to try or learn anything they don't approve and expect you to grow up into their ideal person. They're always in the right and you have to listen to them .
As someone who has been on discord for over an year and on reddit for like, three years, you got everything right. I've found people from all over the world, friends which are more of a friend than my irl friends. The one I'm most active in is for a fanfiction but we don't only talk about that particular story. We talk about normal stuff, games, other fics, anime, manga, politics; heck we have a whole channel for just LGBT related talks. They are the most inclusive people ever and you would be hard pressed to find a group who would be more likely to accept others. I've met Argentinans, British, Americans, Malaysian, Indonesian, etc etc. Even a couple Indians actually! But they're quite rare.. Anyways, the point if this is to tell everyone that discord and reddit are one of the best social media, much better than the toxic Twitter or hate mongering Facebook.
using discord for 5 years now and reddit also like 4 years. Left insta 1 year ago and fb 5 years ago. Never felt the void of leaving these two mainstream and also helped my mental wellbeing
Yup I installed discord back in mid 2020 looking for a community of a game called shinobi strikers and 2 years later I have met a lot of people from around the world I wouldn’t have otherwise
I don't have Reddit or Discord, but what you said about Instagram and Facebook is true. So many friends of mine go through numerous real life problems, and often discuss with me regarding these. But in Instagram the scenario is totally opposite. They post perfect or exciting and happy moments of their lives, rather than talking about their real life problems
Ikr? As if they're some kinda pressure. Idk man I just enjoy insta features (the various filter + you can also draw on your stories Imao). I haven't really faced much difficulty, tho yeah my friends who have massive followings always post these perfect, happy go lucky posts Imao.
The main reason that teens don't use Facebook & Instagram to express their problems is that their relatives, parents etc are already on the platform, its a fear of backlash & disapproval from their loved ones...while on other platforms like Reddit, Discord etc. where you can post anonymously & moreover the other side is just a random stranger whom you 'may' have never encountered & of course that's the pull factor of these websites.
I deactivated my fb in 2012 and started using discord in 2016 because a bunch of us used to play modern combat 5. We made our own server back then and now it has over 14k members and I even attended a friend's wedding in Dec whom I met on discord and the funny thing is we still call each other by their in game names/ discord names.
Reddit is such a interesting platform to discuss so many things, from political to social to financial to mental and sexuality and so much other things
yes sir. other than these things you can even find subreddits which are fully dedicated to different fantasies(more than sexual), theories which makes it more amazing 🤠
@btw I've shinigami eyes i agree but incest isn't something very disturbing. it is mostly found in teenagers cos they don't have much connections in real life thus imo we need to address such topics openly rather than suppressing them
@btw I've shinigami eyes the incest sub is ok too. but have u ever visited r/hindurasthragw r/jerkofftodesicelebs etc? those guys not only objectify women but they also do pass rapey comments.
Incest is fine because it is mostly imagination or albama reference. But there are some subreddits like r/eyeblech and r/gore which can make you feel uncomfortable and unhygienic.
@@karaokewaala9107 No I am not new I hv also faced a little bullying on the internet but I mean that real bullying is far more dangerous than online one you can just block or ignore the online bullying but you can't do that with real bullying that is why in most of the cases real bullying is more dangerous
Reddit me cringey uncle-aunty log nhi hai, that's the main reason why we GenZ use it imo. I am a self-taught UI/UX designer and there's a subreddit for designers so not only with all the other things you mentioned in the video but Reddit also helps me to learn and share my work online and get feedback from people all around the world.
रेडिट में भी है भाई लेकिन इंडियन subs पर नही! इंडिया की इंटरनेट युझरबेस अब भी काफी यंग है (क्योंकि इंटरनेट का पेनेट्रेशन अभी 5 6 सालों पहले हुआ है इंडिया में), अमरीका जैसे देशों में इंटरनेट काफी पुराना है इसलिए अगर इंटरनेशनल सबरेडिट या फिर अमरीका के सबरेडिट देखोगे तो तुम्हे 45-50 और इससे भी ज्यादा उम्रवाले कई युझर्स मिल जाएंगे
Facebook has all your relatives, can't talk there, Insta is insta, discord is great, reddit is great when you know what to find Edit: also quit Facebook and Instagram
Im 18 and i could cope with the lack of social interactions that the lockdowns created only because of discord. i don't know how I would have stayed sane otherwise. and one of the reasons I like discord and reddit over insta and FB is because discord and reddit are not about posting pictures to gain social acceptance. so people are honest and true to themselves as there is no concept of creating an image for others
5:47 the way my heart dropped. depression and anxiety are such common mental health issues nowadays that at this point it is thought to be a "trend". but that is obviously not true. corona has messed up our mental health way too much. the daily activities feel like a chore and just thinking about getting a work done feels exhausting. to hope for "new year new things" is a bet i dont want to take at this point.
Samay's community is the best one on youtube imo. He doesn't take himself so seriously and gives his audience (chat) the same respect or consideration you'd give a friend so it becomes a more intimate relationship rather than being just a creator-audience dynamic.
It is also useful to keep in mind that community also shields. They might keep you shielded or give many a times opinion which enrage more emotions or are more popular which youngsters like. Giving rise to polarisation and less nuanced discussion. Take your own call carefully , you may slowly start to living your life based on their ideas. Not carefully crafted for your own.
Yeah, I have been observing this trend a lot these days. Was curious why I am not a part of this and hence uninformed about how fast this community is growing in silo. Thanks for bringing this up.
this channel really brings the issues which we want to see and barely anyone talks about it !! gives good suggestion regarding those... literally deserve more subs !! you are doing such great work !
I was forcefully outed to my parents about being bisexual earlier this year and because of some mental health issues I had become almost completely isolated from all my close friends. At that time I used the lgbt centric subreddits to share my problems and I gotta say it really helped to read comforting things from so many people. Although yes over sharing on a platform like reddit can be heavily damaging for one's mental health because you're essentially putting such vulnerable parts of you openly in public for judgement. People can also get overtly dependent on the comfort reddit's communities bring and disconnect themselves from real world. Which is kinda what happened to me eventually.
@btw I've shinigami eyes my father checked my phone while I was asleep and read my chats and reddit comments. I usually kept it locked but I told him the pass because he took my phone to get it repaired. I forgot to change it after logging in.
@@kushal4956 well it was a shitshow to say the least. Curses flying around. Telling how they're disappointed that I was born, wondering where they went wrong in their upbringing. Saying so disgustingly homophobic stuff that it made my skin crawl. Bruh the way I bawled my eyes for atleast an hour after the fight 😂.
Even older Indians are currently going through mental health issues but they never accept it.. they think mental health issue means going crazy. Since parents aren’t mentally sorted, kids are affected mentally more. We need emotional intelligence as a subject in schools.
GenZ here✋. I haven't used Reddit ever, and though I am on Discord, I don't use it much. I don't even use Facebook that much. I spend most of my social media time on TH-cam and Instagram. But the characteristics I saw described here about these platforms, I feel Instagram is moving towards that too. Instagram, I feel, is no more a place for vanity, or perfectionism. In fact, it was Instagram which taught me a lot about life, society and outlooks in general. Taboo topics are a lot in discussion on it, and people are embracing being themselves.
I do use Discord regularly and have found it very useful in my math olympiad journey. But I wanted to say one thing, Discord is not super good in privacy things too, Discord logs all the messages users send and also requires a mobile number to register. Although this can be fixed with the Matrix relay.
@@quirtt I'm also preparing for biology Olympiad..but since I'm from a village so I don't know how to guide myself....are people helpful there in discord?
@@aryanhassan4659 you should try but i don't think it's very useful. But some doubts sometime you can never find on net so it's better to ask someone. Discord can be good for that
You forgot about Telegram. Many seek help for mental health & other topics and talk in group calls in telegram groups as well. Staying annonymous is easier in telegram compared to WhatsApp.
I love countryballs it is the best and happy to see another one who knows about countryballs but still i think countryballs or polandball is not much famous in india so i usually watch foreign TH-camrs like drew
I broke down in lockdown. Discord helped me find new and great friends. Eventually this was the place that ended me out of it. I skipped my exams and followed my passions on this platform. That gave me the boost to get back to my exams 6 months later.
Hey a gen z here The reason why I use discord and reddit is because it gives everyone liberty by providing anonymity. The communities are really helping if you need help, no one judges you and even if they do they don't know who you really are.
@@_umeshdhiman just search it for example if you are interested in cricket then you have r/cricket and so on but stay away from political circlejerks like r/india , r/chodi, r/librandu etc.
I personally get to know discord from big youtubers only , when I was watching there videos they announce that they have made a discord server where their audience can interact with them . In my opinion, these has helped discord to get audiences
You may be right about the Indian audience, but I wonder about other countries too. How they got into discord. Gaming is the only start point I see everywhere.
Not only Reddit or Discord, even Twitter became such an important part of lives. This is where comes the Fandom concept. Being a fan of certain artist or book or series isn't just about discussing on the same topic 24×7, it's like finding a community where any issues can be addressed. I personally feel so connected with the virtual friends I got during the lockdown, atleast they don't judge me. Also there's no baggage of maintaining the relationship, nobody expects to converse everyday. Whereas, for Instagram I feel like everyone is trying to show the best of themselves, they seem too overwhelmingly perfect to be real. Instagram really gives me indentity crisis and inferiority complex, at some point it even feels toxic!
So true about Instagram... Nowadays, for designers and artists, they have to build an online portfolio through social media. Like why are they bringing Instagram into getting a job? And I can't decide if the number of likes equals the quality of artwork. I mean, if I have an OK piece of artwork & lots of followers, it easily can get more likes. Why is the worth of an art piece decided by its popularity. The very idea that it is true in real life also makes me frustrated.
as a genz and also as a discord and reddit user i completely agree with the facts youve mentioned, im someone who kinda struggles depression and anxiety. I always feel like wanna talk with someone about my situation but i cant do that irl neither to my parents nor to my friends cuz they take it as a joke, once when I was kinda venting out to my parents about my social anxiety, my parents just started scolding me :/ so discord and reddit is my safe place to talk about my problems without any judgement and to have supportive people around me (atleast on internet) is such a great relief. (Well discord servers also helps me with my studies and to focus whereas i get my doubts cleared on reddit)
For me :- Reddit - I started using it because I thought it was the best problem to help me with a hero I wanted to buy. Soon enough I got emersed in it although their was a slight toxic period there. I returned when I got a new phone and since then there have been ups and down, but I just like to read stuff and instagram is mostly just pictures and I am not someone who is likely to yknow binge a book instead I like shorter reading stuff on reddit. Discord - I got invited to discord throught reddit and honestly it is a lot of fun tbh. My best moments in lockdown were on discord
I'm queer i.e. part of LGBT+ community but I have queerphobic parents. I also have various problems which I can't share with my parents because I'm not supossed to be doing the things which have created them in the first place (like things regarding my life plans are different from what my parents expect me to do). In these cases I find discord amazing cuz I can vent and ask for advice with anonimity. Discord also helps me deal with my depression (which my parents say will go away if i focus on studies which I do 😑).
discord just feels like talking to people who are like u, who feel like u, and somehow I always find talking to my discord friends very soothing. I vent to them, talk about my day, or anything,... even though I don't even know their name... tbh... discord saved my life this lockdown
I think the main reason why I use reddit is bcz of privacy and anonymous nature of the app, also the fact that alot of communities can be really helpful there
Been on Reddit for almost a decade now, I can relate how I changed myself from being a all-so-chirpy person to be a good critical thinker. I've a subreddit too...and people there are in some ways more intellectual than my teachers even though we're peers. These apps are genuine and helpful unlike the Facebook where millennials show everything to be happy and astounding in every post of theirs.
Millenials are still on fb cuz those days fb, Yahoo and orcut were the first and popular social media platforms. Bt ya after 90s and 20s generation very few people will use fb or insta. Bt I'm sure then zukenberg will buy reedit and discord also 😂😂.
I personally have another reason that my parents don't allow me to use insta or any social media, so I use reddit Or discord so as to connect with social media but anonymously and with some virtual friends. (As I don't have friends)
we need more entrants like Reddit or discord that will make this space more liberal. Facebook completely dominated this arena and was misusing its power. Hope these apps gain more traction and give stiff competition to Facebook.
To be honest, i personally find discord super exhausting. Entering most servers is like entering a fish market, everyone is typing and I just don't know why i am here and why i even need to familiarise myself with these strangers. With my personal experience, leaving all social platforms and focusing more on my health and life, getting new hobbies like gardening and watching educational videos on TH-cam put me in a much better mental space. My mind feels fresh instead rotting among a crowd of people you continuously strive to fit in. I know this might not be the case of every discord server but most of it is full of cyber bullies and uncultured rude teenagers who do not respect anyone (which i also think may be a result of poor mental health and i feel these kids deserve a better place) Some might think i just have bad social skills and i don't know how to fit into a community but i guess you should choose your own "third place". Yes some people are really nice and i met my best friend on discord, for which I'm forever grateful but i feel young teenagers should get aware about more alternatives for a third place where they can fresh up their minds. Mental health servers are great but discord personally isn't the best option for someone trying to get better in life.
you already got your "best friend" right ? now you are satsfied and grateful , you said exhausted because ITS YOU using it since a long time and not getting any good by product ,so now you are tired of it and finally getting to know its cons , everyythig has its own pros and cons , he didnt mention about promoting things we call a crime irl on discord etc. but what he actually is trying to convey you got it all wrong , dont make it about YOURSELF , let others find their best friends too , watching educational videos on yt and calling it a hobby is your yet another delusional mindset
As a teenager the lockdown and that virus outbreak was no less then a heaven for me. School made me so overwhelmed and self conscious that I had suicidal thoughts when I was just 11. I had no friends in school because I found myself more mature than kids in my standard as they were abusing every time and cracking sexual jokes which were nothing but unfunny shit. Sadly when schools reopened here in Pakistan, We had massive workload and due to being this much of a introvert I was lacking back and couldn't focus on my classes. I am 13 and still struggling, The best part is that this year is my last year in this school cuz there are maximum 8 classes in this campus I am in. So the schools closure helped me get skills and spend time being myself which I always wanted.
In reddit the mods have kinda dictatorial power on what would get posted in a subreddit. And many times the subreddits or community are just a massive echo-chambers like r/india, r/indiaspeaks or r/chodi.
@@pensovert yes that's why they ban people for having different opinion and actively participate in double standards. They also delete any positive post about india lol. Yeah my guy r/india isn't an echo chamber. /s
@@pensovert bhai there was literally a video of a man shooting a person irl It was horrible & reddit don't have a good censor or community guidelines That's the reason I deleted it Now I only use Insta & Discord
Our college seniors actually have opened discord channels for juniors to give advice and help us socialize and stuff... Reddit literally has a sub for everything... I am not surprised that our Gen likes to spend time there...
Well sometimes watching such videos help us from forgetting what is happening in our life but still when you come back to reality it's all same it never change
U are right it's absolutely easy to find like minded groups and subreddits on these platforms . When I started as a minecrafter I didn't knew much but I found many good friends over their and that also helped me with my social anxiety issues and helped me with my depression .
I recently joined reddit just because I needed to have conversations about my favorite things.and the best part ,most people here pretty smart and witty. This is something we used to have in the early internet but soon evolved to hyperinfluential social media.
on facebook and instagram u have to put your real name and maybe your photos and keep posting good photos as posts to showoff others whereas in discord everyone spends time for real and have fun and theres no pressure of uploading posts.
Will the points made by you are all valid something that you need to understand is Gen Z's need to stand out from the "crowd". For example. When whatsapp first launched in America it was mostly used by teens for chatting. It was popular because it was obscure and less likely to be found by parents. However the moment whatsapp became mainstream Teens moved on. Something that remains constant in generations is the strive to become different from its predecessors. Also. Another reason why Gen Z likes to keep it self away from social media is because of the large amount of " filtered content". The kind of content that is found on TV isn't welcome because its considered "uncool". Reddit and discord provide that realease to remain incognito.
And also the fact that genZ are exposed to alot of information at infancy which make them more mature and stand out from other generations For an instance Boomers never planned their retirements and didn't have multiple options of investments. On the other hand , genZ you know it all ..
This video made me cry, I don't know why but the way he said about the young genz not being able to express their feeling to the public and uses Platform like Discord and Reddit where they are free and comfortable to talk and express its makes me happy as I also feel depressed sometimes feel kinda do suicide as I saw different people who just growing in their life and enjoy and I just feel myself downward.(The vocabulary was bad just forgive me).
Reddit has been degrading since the Jio user boom. It's ruined by the American polarisation as well. It is in end times as we know it. Reddit IPO is around the corner. It's the death of a great thing we had. I sometimes revisit Reddit discussions 10 years ago and they we so much interesting and informative. I'm truly sad about it. I hope the American rationals create another gem like Reddit and whose IPO would be a couple decades after lol. Every good things dies.
@@akemi2929 IPO means Initial public offering. It's means the company will be listed on the share market. It's a way for companies to raise capital and go big or go broke. But the disadvantage is that they become subject to market forces and have to be answerable to their shareholders. This destroys a companies autonomy and they have to play it safe there on in its policies.
Yeah reddit boom in India during covid lockdown period, I remember when it was rare to find another Indian on any subreddit and Indian meme subs, youtuber subs and even sub releated to India are going downhill (r/India was shit from start), with many youtubers want to interact with their audience and also to get free content, it is being filled with more and more edgy teenagers
My family is my friend And having a brother is a gem for me…I can share everything literally everything Even my father don’t listen or talk to us but when my brother graduate and he start involving in conversation and suggestions the things get better. Now we are like friends ..after dinner we talk about our day and share experiences and get advices. I think the reason behind this is..now a days children’s think a lot and they think their family don’t understand them but if you talk and explain them in easier way they will definitely understand you. And I don’t use social media coz social media is the biggest reason for depression..coz people underestimate themselves by comparing with other( which can be fake lifestyle).
Great video Mohak. People in India are reluctant to talk on tough things - whether be it depression, sex education , relationships or puberty. I recently went though depression in early 2021 and now consider myself fully recovered, although I do have anxiety at times. 2020 and 2021 were most depressing years of my life. After 10 years in US, I came back to India by choice in Jan 2020 full of excitement that I would be living close to my parents. However, with COVID and friends who cared more about politics and other stuff than their friend, toxic work culture and ignorant people making fun of me for not being able to drive or giving "taanas" to me, I slowly slid in depression. In Feb 2021 I started taking treatment for depression and much stable in August 2021. I did not talk about this chapter of life to anyone, neither friends or parents. Parents are understanding and very nice to me but they are in late 60's and early 70s, dont want them to have unnecessary stress. Friends no use, they have only passed comments of not being able to drive when I came to India (although I have driven 5000 Km in last 6 months), or that its my fault of not being able to adjust in what they say "greatest nation on the planet". I am moving to Canada next month, cracked a job there- work permit is approved and PR is in process. it's a big stress for me leaving behind parents (till I can apply for their visa and PR) but I believe it is necessary for my mental sanity. I know this might not good down well with people but Indian society is toxic.
Hi Mohak sir, my humble request to you is please add subtitles in English for all your videos, so those who can't understand Hindi also can watch your incredible content. Thank you and I really appreciate your work.
I am a 11th grade student I have no friends in school these days In 10th, after lockdown when offline classes started, I used to be alone whole day, not even saying a single word to anyone Most of my friends left the school in 9th class And I am very introverted guy, I want to talk but don't know what to talk That's why I feel alone many times, but online games really helped me be happy :)
Yes this is indeed very true, I too had used discord from 2018-2021 as I just wanted social interaction. But now when the lockdowns over.. I’ve started to be on track and don’t get the point to use discord nowadays
THIS. I had depression for a year. I moved to my own place when i reached 23, was happy with my part time job but realised i needed a real job. I use to get rejected all the time. However i discovered reddit. And it changed my life. I joined the india subreddit. I saw so many posts about this. Reddit taught me to never give up
Honestly this video is basically gloryfying reddit since these platforms can just easily turn into an echo chamber which bans you for having a different opinion honestly reddit is just straight up shit idk about discord since I don't use it that much
I myself started using discord in the beginning of 22, after watching your video.. I found many helpful, funny, friendly and caring people on discord..who some eventually also became my friends.. My biggest benifit from it was when I joined the StudyTogether server..found many students like me and many other ppl too.. It really helped me a lot in my studies and got me focused in my track. I'm so thankful to you for bringing up this video and Discord for introducing me to such good things and people.
Hi Mohak.. I like your content but saying that these platforms are providing privacy is not correct. We need to make people aware that anything on the internet is never private and companies capitalize on this. Hope you will be more clear on this. Keep up with the good content. Good luck :)
Sister. I've noticed that your TH-cam dp is not wearing a hijab. When you wear a hijab, you are obeying the commandments of Allah, and you can expect great rewards in return. It is allah's protection of your natural beauty. You 👉🏻 are too precious to be "on display" for.every man to see. It is allah's preservation of your chastity. Allah purifies your heart and mind through the hijab. Allah raises the dignity through the hijab. When a strange man looks at you, he respects you because 2022 he sees that you respect yourself.And this applies to your TH-cam dp as well. Also remember one thing Allah is white

2:50 Nah, I don't think that they are leaving Instagram as well. In fact, my friends told me that they've shifted from Facebook TO mostly Instagram. Discord and Reddit are different kind and don't link to one's social profile, thus maintaining a complementary function. Linkedin is an individual's professional profile, which completes the circle
Well the video speaks a lot; I have been using discord for the past few months to vent my feelings and make new friends; I absolutely love it and met some wonderful people

Hmm... Point to be noted.
Agreed

my mother told me that the advice from a good willed stranger is the best kind of advice as he doesn't know you he will heed to the problem without expecting anything in return and won't try to sabotage your life by giving wrong advice as many relatives do also if the stranger is giving the advice he will most likely be expert in the field or would have gone through the same thing so its way better than to ask some nonexpert relative about it

Hello… i am saiman says and i am the most underrated youtuber in india.
4:00 is all that needs to be said on the relationship between Gen Z and our parents. That's why we don't open in front of our elders, choosing our friends instead. We want understanding and empathy more than just brutely pushing towards what's objectively “right”.
Wanting only empathy and understanding all the time makes people needy and emotionally fragile. Some advice to "Pull yourselves together" isn't bad or cruel. All successful people have had their share of struggles. They didn't constantly need reassurances. The american culture of continuously seeking support for one's failures and even justifying them always without honestly introspecting and changing for the better is seeping into India.
A desire for empathy and sympathy when confronted with troubles is but natural and people should receive support. However, one must guard against sinking into seeking frequent validation and sympathy online without confronting one's shortcomings and working on them.
@@vidyaarvind4458Agreed. I used to have a dislike towards my parents for that. They wouldn't give even a slight look towards my attention seeking behaviour.
Now as I look back, I really appreciate what they did. They toughened me up for the challenges to come.
@@bingchilling3377 as I said, seeking some emotional support is a human need fresh out of a tragedy or during tough times. But what we are seeing now among Gen Z is definitely worrying and unhealthy. Either they are too lackadaisical to care or too woke taking everything to heart, examining everything at a molecular level and turning resentful and cynical.
American culture has perpetuated this belief that the individual and his or her needs and feelings and liberty should always take precedence over collective good. This is why it is an extremely polarised country and thanks to that culture seeping into India via SM, our youngsters too are fast following the Americans and Brits.
Agreed that not every parent is understanding and many are authoritative and toxic too. But it is equally true that under the influence of SM, more and more youngsters are turning needlessly rebellious over many issues which can be solved by discussion or simply letting time pass by. They are firmly convinced that anonymous online advice is the best and parents know nothing.
This is only going to spell doom for the mental and emotional health of our youngsters.
Unlike how the other replies say , you can't compare with american culture , there they from the beginning go with the thought of making them independent from childhood and at 15 it's not weird if they want to live alone or work to study higher. Here does honestly any of that support happen or is such freedom given even if asked? NO , parents here expect gen Z to grow up close with them until they get a degree and a job , they don't allow you to try or learn anything they don't approve and expect you to grow up into their ideal person. They're always in the right and you have to listen to them .

As someone who has been on discord for over an year and on reddit for like, three years, you got everything right. I've found people from all over the world, friends which are more of a friend than my irl friends. The one I'm most active in is for a fanfiction but we don't only talk about that particular story. We talk about normal stuff, games, other fics, anime, manga, politics; heck we have a whole channel for just LGBT related talks. They are the most inclusive people ever and you would be hard pressed to find a group who would be more likely to accept others.
I've met Argentinans, British, Americans, Malaysian, Indonesian, etc etc. Even a couple Indians actually! But they're quite rare..
Anyways, the point if this is to tell everyone that discord and reddit are one of the best social media, much better than the toxic Twitter or hate mongering Facebook.

I don't have Reddit or Discord, but what you said about Instagram and Facebook is true. So many friends of mine go through numerous real life problems, and often discuss with me regarding these. But in Instagram the scenario is totally opposite. They post perfect or exciting and happy moments of their lives, rather than talking about their real life problems
Ikr? As if they're some kinda pressure. Idk man I just enjoy insta features (the various filter + you can also draw on your stories Imao). I haven't really faced much difficulty, tho yeah my friends who have massive followings always post these perfect, happy go lucky posts Imao.
@@kdjoshi726 that's why I avoid having so many followers
Reddit is actually a very good platform specially for genZ I feel. They can share their all problems there!
The main reason that teens don't use Facebook & Instagram to express their problems is that their relatives, parents etc are already on the platform, its a fear of backlash & disapproval from their loved ones...while on other platforms like Reddit, Discord etc. where you can post anonymously & moreover the other side is just a random stranger whom you 'may' have never encountered & of course that's the pull factor of these websites.
I deactivated my fb in 2012 and started using discord in 2016 because a bunch of us used to play modern combat 5.

It is also useful to keep in mind that community also shields. They might keep you shielded or give many a times opinion which enrage more emotions or are more popular which youngsters like. Giving rise to polarisation and less nuanced discussion. Take your own call carefully , you may slowly start to living your life based on their ideas. Not carefully crafted for your own.

I was forcefully outed to my parents about being bisexual earlier this year and because of some mental health issues I had become almost completely isolated from all my close friends. At that time I used the lgbt centric subreddits to share my problems and I gotta say it really helped to read comforting things from so many people.
Although yes over sharing on a platform like reddit can be heavily damaging for one's mental health because you're essentially putting such vulnerable parts of you openly in public for judgement. People can also get overtly dependent on the comfort reddit's communities bring and disconnect themselves from real world. Which is kinda what happened to me eventually.

I haven't used Reddit ever, and though I am on Discord, I don't use it much. I don't even use Facebook that much. I spend most of my social media time on TH-cam and Instagram.
But the characteristics I saw described here about these platforms, I feel Instagram is moving towards that too. Instagram, I feel, is no more a place for vanity, or perfectionism. In fact, it was Instagram which taught me a lot about life, society and outlooks in general. Taboo topics are a lot in discussion on it, and people are embracing being themselves.
Reddit is a gem among the social media. I love the anonymity there. Similar is 4Chan.
Yeah best thing in Reddit that you can join sub reddits based on your interests.. I use Reddit for memes and discussions on things which I like

Not only Reddit or Discord, even Twitter became such an important part of lives. This is where comes the Fandom concept. Being a fan of certain artist or book or series isn't just about discussing on the same topic 24×7, it's like finding a community where any issues can be addressed. I personally feel so connected with the virtual friends I got during the lockdown, atleast they don't judge me. Also there's no baggage of maintaining the relationship, nobody expects to converse everyday. Whereas, for Instagram I feel like everyone is trying to show the best of themselves, they seem too overwhelmingly perfect to be real. Instagram really gives me indentity crisis and inferiority complex, at some point it even feels toxic!
So true about Instagram... Nowadays, for designers and artists, they have to build an online portfolio through social media. Like why are they bringing Instagram into getting a job? And I can't decide if the number of likes equals the quality of artwork. I mean, if I have an OK piece of artwork & lots of followers, it easily can get more likes. Why is the worth of an art piece decided by its popularity. The very idea that it is true in real life also makes me frustrated.

I always feel like wanna talk with someone about my situation but i cant do that irl neither to my parents nor to my friends cuz they take it as a joke, once when I was kinda venting out to my parents about my social anxiety, my parents just started scolding me :/ so discord and reddit is my safe place to talk about my problems without any judgement and to have supportive people around me (atleast on internet) is such a great relief.

For me :-
Reddit - I started using it because I thought it was the best problem to help me with a hero I wanted to buy. Soon enough I got emersed in it although their was a slight toxic period there. I returned when I got a new phone and since then there have been ups and down, but I just like to read stuff and instagram is mostly just pictures and I am not someone who is likely to yknow binge a book instead I like shorter reading stuff on reddit.
Discord - I got invited to discord throught reddit and honestly it is a lot of fun tbh. My best moments in lockdown were on discord
Oh i don't use this so i don't know
I'm queer i.e. part of LGBT+ community but I have queerphobic parents. I also have various problems which I can't share with my parents because I'm not supossed to be doing the things which have created them in the first place (like things regarding my life plans are different from what my parents expect me to do). In these cases I find discord amazing cuz I can vent and ask for advice with anonimity. Discord also helps me deal with my depression (which my parents say will go away if i focus on studies which I do 😑).

Instagram is toxic, time consuming and designed to make us feel small and portray a fake reality. Discord is peaceful to chill and work with.

I think the main reason why I use reddit is bcz of privacy and anonymous nature of the app, also the fact that alot of communities can be really helpful there
That is such an underrated thing. Reddit is like the place everyone goes to explore themselves sans judgement.

For introverts Reddit and Discord are really a paradise....
Discord and reddit can be great platforms for learning and meeting new people
To be honest, i personally find discord super exhausting. Entering most servers is like entering a fish market, everyone is typing and I just don't know why i am here and why i even need to familiarise myself with these strangers. With my personal experience, leaving all social platforms and focusing more on my health and life, getting new hobbies like gardening and watching educational videos on TH-cam put me in a much better mental space. My mind feels fresh instead rotting among a crowd of people you continuously strive to fit in. I know this might not be the case of every discord server but most of it is full of cyber bullies and uncultured rude teenagers who do not respect anyone (which i also think may be a result of poor mental health and i feel these kids deserve a better place) Some might think i just have bad social skills and i don't know how to fit into a community but i guess you should choose your own "third place". Yes some people are really nice and i met my best friend on discord, for which I'm forever grateful but i feel young teenagers should get aware about more alternatives for a third place where they can fresh up their minds. Mental health servers are great but discord personally isn't the best option for someone trying to get better in life.

As a teenager the lockdown and that virus outbreak was no less then a heaven for me. School made me so overwhelmed and self conscious that I had suicidal thoughts when I was just 11. I had no friends in school because I found myself more mature than kids in my standard as they were abusing every time and cracking sexual jokes which were nothing but unfunny shit. Sadly when schools reopened here in Pakistan, We had massive workload and due to being this much of a introvert I was lacking back and couldn't focus on my classes. I am 13 and still struggling, The best part is that this year is my last year in this school cuz there are maximum 8 classes in this campus I am in. So the schools closure helped me get skills and spend time being myself which I always wanted.
Hey im also from pakistan
Truly lockdown was an absolute heaven
Btw which city
Using reddit since last 3 years and I've to say it's been hell of a ride
1:23 Supream Leader is everywhere 👍👍
Reddit >>>> because of anonymity. Secondly i dont want to feel depressed watching perfect lives of Instagram people.
Fake perfect lives.
In reddit the mods have kinda dictatorial power on what would get posted in a subreddit. And many times the subreddits or community are just a massive echo-chambers like r/india, r/indiaspeaks or r/chodi.
r/india is not a part of it
@@pensovert yes that's why they ban people for having different opinion and actively participate in double standards. They also delete any positive post about india lol. Yeah my guy r/india isn't an echo chamber. /s
Lamo chodi is batshit better , r/india me ban krdiya khene pe I like modi . Chodi me tum modi ko acha kaho ya bura ban nahi krnege.
Reddit is amazing as well as horrifying at the same time as if you dive deeper ,the subs get darker
True
True
@@pensovert bhai there was literally a video of a man shooting a person irl
It was horrible & reddit don't have a good censor or community guidelines
That's the reason I deleted it
Now I only use Insta & Discord
nsfw contain ki kammi nahi udhar ek baar gaye toh gaye
@@Shubhankar_mhkd nsfw content hai woh warning aajata hai video dekhne se phele waisa channel hi join mt kro
I am sure this video will help people understand the significance of social media in coping with dipression
Our college seniors actually have opened discord channels for juniors to give advice and help us socialize and stuff... Reddit literally has a sub for everything... I am not surprised that our Gen likes to spend time there...
At least Mohak is talking about Gen Z .
The Gen Z are ignored by Media is just like Cameraman ignores The Groom in Wedding.
bhai pkka tu hi groom hai 😂😂😂
Well sometimes watching such videos help us from forgetting what is happening in our life but still when you come back to reality it's all same it never change
I use Reddit for memes, news and discussions, I highly recommend it.
I don't recommend reddit because of easily accessible NSFW contents.
U are right it's absolutely easy to find like minded groups and subreddits on these platforms . When I started as a minecrafter I didn't knew much but I found many good friends over their and that also helped me with my social anxiety issues and helped me with my depression .
You explained great 👍
Watching from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩
I recently joined reddit just because I needed to have conversations about my favorite things.and the best part ,most people here pretty smart and witty. This is something we used to have in the early internet but soon evolved to hyperinfluential social media.
Did u get your answers ?
on facebook and instagram u have to put your real name and maybe your photos and keep posting good photos as posts to showoff others whereas in discord everyone spends time for real and have fun and theres no pressure of uploading posts.
Will the points made by you are all valid something that you need to understand is Gen Z's need to stand out from the "crowd". For example. When whatsapp first launched in America it was mostly used by teens for chatting. It was popular because it was obscure and less likely to be found by parents. However the moment whatsapp became mainstream Teens moved on. Something that remains constant in generations is the strive to become different from its predecessors. Also. Another reason why Gen Z likes to keep it self away from social media is because of the large amount of " filtered content". The kind of content that is found on TV isn't welcome because its considered "uncool". Reddit and discord provide that realease to remain incognito.
And also the fact that genZ are exposed to alot of information at infancy which make them more mature and stand out from other generations
For an instance
Boomers never planned their retirements and didn't have multiple options of investments.
On the other hand , genZ you know it all ..
This video made me cry, I don't know why but the way he said about the young genz not being able to express their feeling to the public and uses Platform like Discord and Reddit where they are free and comfortable to talk and express its makes me happy as I also feel depressed sometimes feel kinda do suicide as I saw different people who just growing in their life and enjoy and I just feel myself downward.(The vocabulary was bad just forgive me).
Dude, Your video quality is just awesome, research, presentation, production quality, graphics, animations, etc. Just OP.
Reddit has been degrading since the Jio user boom. It's ruined by the American polarisation as well.
It is in end times as we know it. Reddit IPO is around the corner. It's the death of a great thing we had.
I sometimes revisit Reddit discussions 10 years ago and they we so much interesting and informative. I'm truly sad about it. I hope the American rationals create another gem like Reddit and whose IPO would be a couple decades after lol. Every good things dies.
What's IPO.... 🤔
@@akemi2929 IPO means Initial public offering. It's means the company will be listed on the share market. It's a way for companies to raise capital and go big or go broke. But the disadvantage is that they become subject to market forces and have to be answerable to their shareholders. This destroys a companies autonomy and they have to play it safe there on in its policies.
its gonna be the next tumblr
Yeah reddit boom in India during covid lockdown period, I remember when it was rare to find another Indian on any subreddit and Indian meme subs, youtuber subs and even sub releated to India are going downhill (r/India was shit from start), with many youtubers want to interact with their audience and also to get free content, it is being filled with more and more edgy teenagers
Now we are waiting for your own discord server!!
📣 "Indian society mental health aur depression ko ADDRESS HI NAHI KARTI" 📣
Louder!
kyu your family is one og them kya ?
My family is my friend
And having a brother is a gem for me…I can share everything literally everything
Even my father don’t listen or talk to us but when my brother graduate and he start involving in conversation and suggestions the things get better. Now we are like friends ..after dinner we talk about our day and share experiences and get advices.
I think the reason behind this is..now a days children’s think a lot and they think their family don’t understand them but if you talk and explain them in easier way they will definitely understand you.
And I don’t use social media coz social media is the biggest reason for depression..coz people underestimate themselves by comparing with other( which can be fake lifestyle).
"You can talk about anything on those platform."
That's most Positive and negative things about it.
Great video Mohak. People in India are reluctant to talk on tough things - whether be it depression, sex education , relationships or puberty. I recently went though depression in early 2021 and now consider myself fully recovered, although I do have anxiety at times. 2020 and 2021 were most depressing years of my life. After 10 years in US, I came back to India by choice in Jan 2020 full of excitement that I would be living close to my parents. However, with COVID and friends who cared more about politics and other stuff than their friend, toxic work culture and ignorant people making fun of me for not being able to drive or giving "taanas" to me, I slowly slid in depression. In Feb 2021 I started taking treatment for depression and much stable in August 2021.
I did not talk about this chapter of life to anyone, neither friends or parents. Parents are understanding and very nice to me but they are in late 60's and early 70s, dont want them to have unnecessary stress. Friends no use, they have only passed comments of not being able to drive when I came to India (although I have driven 5000 Km in last 6 months), or that its my fault of not being able to adjust in what they say "greatest nation on the planet". I am moving to Canada next month, cracked a job there- work permit is approved and PR is in process. it's a big stress for me leaving behind parents (till I can apply for their visa and PR) but I believe it is necessary for my mental sanity. I know this might not good down well with people but Indian society is toxic.
Congratulations on getting US citizenship ☺️❤️
Hi Mohak sir, my humble request to you is please add subtitles in English for all your videos, so those who can't understand Hindi also can watch your incredible content. Thank you and I really appreciate your work.
I am a 11th grade student
I have no friends in school these days
In 10th, after lockdown when offline classes started, I used to be alone whole day, not even saying a single word to anyone
Most of my friends left the school in 9th class
And I am very introverted guy, I want to talk but don't know what to talk
That's why I feel alone many times, but online games really helped me be happy :)
I am also in same situation.
I am the in same situation. And worst of all I am not even studying 😭😭
Yes this is indeed very true, I too had used discord from 2018-2021 as I just wanted social interaction. But now when the lockdowns over.. I’ve started to be on track and don’t get the point to use discord nowadays
THIS.
I had depression for a year. I moved to my own place when i reached 23, was happy with my part time job but realised i needed a real job. I use to get rejected all the time. However i discovered reddit. And it changed my life. I joined the india subreddit. I saw so many posts about this. Reddit taught me to never give up
Pls can u link me up
I like how he Subtly promoted Randia though max of his followers will relate to it as they are self loathing kind
Honestly this video is basically gloryfying reddit since these platforms can just easily turn into an echo chamber which bans you for having a different opinion honestly reddit is just straight up shit idk about discord since I don't use it that much
Also fuck every single political subreddit I hate all of them all equally
The answers that you get on Quora makes you wonder why was Thanos deemed as the bad guy.
True. It has turned into facebook too
@@justicedoesntexist1919 but I use it only from blogs
Quora was good till 2015ish… now it’s toxic trash.
@btw I've shinigami eyes astrology wale b bahut he "and here's my birthday, birthplace tell me if I'll get into an arranged or love marriage.."
@btw I've shinigami eyes I even found hateful comments towards my community on Quora...and I kinda got scared...so I left Quora🙏😢
Fact : 90% discord users are gamers🗿
Your videos are thought provoking... Keep up the good work.. Awesome analysis!!
I myself started using discord in the beginning of 22, after watching your video.. I found many helpful, funny, friendly and caring people on discord..who some eventually also became my friends.. My biggest benifit from it was when I joined the StudyTogether server..found many students like me and many other ppl too.. It really helped me a lot in my studies and got me focused in my track. I'm so thankful to you for bringing up this video and Discord for introducing me to such good things and people.
Hi Mohak.. I like your content but saying that these platforms are providing privacy is not correct. We need to make people aware that anything on the internet is never private and companies capitalize on this. Hope you will be more clear on this. Keep up with the good content. Good luck :)
Sister. I've noticed that your TH-cam dp is not wearing a hijab. When you wear a hijab, you are obeying the commandments of Allah, and you can expect great rewards in return. It is allah's protection of your natural beauty. You 👉🏻 are too precious to be "on display" for.every man to see. It is allah's preservation of your chastity. Allah purifies your heart and mind through the hijab. Allah raises the dignity through the hijab. When a strange man looks at you, he respects you because 2022 he sees that you respect yourself.And this applies to your TH-cam dp as well. Also remember one thing Allah is white
video apna chasity protect kr
As a person who often uses reddit I can confirm that in subs like
r/teenagers and r/indianteenagers these posts are quite normal
@꧁Jⱥcᴋ᭄ṨραƦƦøW꧂ जिस तरह इंस्टा और फेसबूक पर मीम पेजेस होते है, या ग्रुप्स होते है और हम अगर उन्हें फॉलो करले तो हमें वही कंटेंट अपने होम फिड पर दिखाई देता है, उसी तरह रेडिट के सबरेडिट होते है
I can see slowly and slowly with every video nowadays, you are indirectly addressing LGBTQ 🏳️🌈 topics 💝
he has a whole entire video about it
2:50 Nah, I don't think that they are leaving Instagram as well.
In fact, my friends told me that they've shifted from Facebook TO mostly Instagram.
Discord and Reddit are different kind and don't link to one's social profile, thus maintaining a complementary function.
Linkedin is an individual's professional profile, which completes the circle
Well the video speaks a lot; I have been using discord for the past few months to vent my feelings and make new friends;
I absolutely love it and met some wonderful people
