as a gen z person who used to be addicted to her phone and social media, i implore all of you to cut down on screen time or delete social media in general. i used to scroll through tiktok & instagram reels all the time. for the past 2 years, i have had no social media apps aside from youtube. no tiktok, no instagram, no twitter, no snapchat etc. i cut down my screentime to only 2-4 hours a day (i text my friends a lot). i walk 5 miles every other day with my bf (hes the same way with no social media and he loves hiking.) and i spend a lot of time doing hobbies like painting and my time is focused on school & work. my mental health is so much better than it once was. its not perfect by any means, i have my good days and bad, but social media with fear mongering and addictive traps really ruined my mental health.
I always find it funny how older generations love to point the finger and blame Gen Z for everything when they created the very issues Gen Z is currently paying the price for.

As always the first phases of something is where everything can be chaotic, tech is still in its first stages I believe, and then somewhere where it’s more stable is where the middle stage is, and at the end it just transform into something new (tech 2.0 for example) tech 2.0 will have its beginning stages where most suffering happens but of course it gets stable as time goes on Agree?

You are promoting the scam company "Better Help"? Why!?!?!?!! There is no better way to say "I don't care about my subscribers and I say whatever they want me to say for money." than doing a Better Help ad read.
This whole vid is basically a giant ad for therapy, but it actually mentions something interesting - it's not about the stress or the addictions this generation faces, people have seen much worse. The problem is this generation has been specifically engineered to be unable to cope with stress and additions.
Better help is just like any other website to find tutors: the workers are paid little and not close to being the best in the industry. When apps are used, money goes to the execs, not the actual people helping you
I recently saw a video where the creator started setting up the sponsorship bit by making it seem like it was going to be better help, but it was a fake out for something else, with a dig about better help. I was hoping that's what this would be. Oh, well.

It’s frustrating to see TH-camrs thrive on spreading pessimism with exaggerated generalizations like ‘Gen Z has no hope’ or ‘Gen Z’s addiction epidemic.’ These videos often cherry-pick issues, inflate them for dramatic effect, and profit from fearmongering. Life is nuanced, and while challenges exist, there are also solutions, resilience, and progress. Creating content solely to rile people up for views is lazy and harmful-it adds no value and undermines genuine conversations about improving society. Let’s focus on facts and constructive dialogue, not sensationalism.
I actually feel really dumb right now, i felt smart when i was a kid now i think that i am some random dumb guy, literally no social skills, writing skills or energy to do work. I regret asking for a phone at young age.
think you should listen to the audience, you're loosing your voice, loosing your identity which is the reason we watch ur videos. don't make it a source of income, a business let it be just a youtube channel, and learn for yourself and teach us it then.
It has been obvious for like 4 years or something at this point. When did all those exposed videos come out when Philip DeFranco was reading their ads? There is no excuse at this point. If you read BetterHelp ads, you don't have any integrity in what you promote for money to your subscribers.
@@ydgydywbg they are a scam company. They take people's money while pretending to have mental health services, but they just connect you to scammers pretending to be mental health professionals.

The only people I really hear complaining about Gen-Z and social media addiction come from members not part of Gen-Z. And isn't it often that the older generation looks at the younger generation in a doom-scenario? When I look at younger people in my neighbourhood they don't look that lonely or unhappy at all, and groups of teens here are not only on their phones when together. Most bond and have fun and are polite to their elders (like me). I don't see much difference compared to 20 years ago when I was their age.
Lmfao you’ve clearly missed the entire point of the whole video bro watch it again, you clearly know nobody in gen z as I’m 20 and can’t name a single person I’ve ever met around my age without at least 3-5 of these addictions, you’re lost and putting your tiny perspective onto the whole world which yeah so am I but I’m at least a part of the generation you’re talking about and I can speak to the fact that you’re wrong and stupid lol
You can be a president of the USA, you can be a spiderman, let's make people good, nothing happened under communism, be yourself, don't ask stupid questions, mental health is a part of your personality, your opinion matters - vote for this baboon.
I enjoy your videos because they have less bias and more informative value than most sources online. I am Currently 18 and possess a gift of intellectual superiority. I have experienced imposter syndrome a significant amount. Feels as if I'm constantly wasting my potential. I have gathered that you have also experienced similar feelings of intellectual isolation. I hope for a better future.
So ontop of that we have people like you who monopolize and create doom videos saying we have no hope in the future. No I will not watch your 20-50 minute video
Unsub and watch and give ur time to actually useful creators, not somebody with 2million subs already, everything they ever needed, yet still choose to promote things like better help, its a slap in the face, goodbye
