"Social media doesn't keep you addicted by giving you something good, it keeps you addicted by giving you anticipation of something great" goated quote
thank god man, there is someone who isn't just trying to stimulate your brain but actually trying to help us with insight behind the working of the tech industries
He is definitely trying to stimulate your brain, there is: Background Music Excessive Sound Effects Cuts every 2-5 seconds Memes Visual Background Behind Him Constant Zooms (in and out) I could make this list a lot longer, but personally I don't feel like it. As someone who wants to be a good editor, I notice these things.
I appreciate how Arun dives deeper into how these companies' business models work. First Amazon, Uber and now social media. More people need to know about these. Thanks for great work mate.
FOMO. It's real and scary. Look at drivers around you when you're at a red light (unless you yourself are one of these) - most people have to check things on their phones. Just yesterday actually saw a couple in their vehicle scrolling their feeds (yes, including the driver) while going down the road. Of course, driver's attention wasn't given to driving and he kept slowing down, speeding up and weaving. It's scary what we've become... Even at dinner time, in restaurants, families, people no longer interact with each other - they have to scroll to see what they may be missing when what they're truly missing is who is in front of them...
I was born in the 80's, and am definitely a child of the internet, but I've never really found myself doomscrolling. I deeply resent intrusions of privacy, and being "the product," so I just don't have the usual quartet of social media. I tend to use the phone in public more for times that I don't want somebody awkwardly attempting small talk with me.
The societal shift to digital interactions is truly scary. If you slightly comment on that, you'll get mad comments. I say that because my personal experience has always been negative even when I ask somebody "may you put away your phone?". I'm always against close-mindedness, but in this case, I wish I had some likeminded people around me 😪
@BCGirl822 Where are you going after you die? What happens next? Have you ever thought about that? Repent today and give your life to Jesus Christ to obtain eternal salvation. Tomorrow may be too late my brethen😢. Hebrews 9:27 says "And as it is appointed unto man once to die, but after that the judgement
These tech companies have truly turned the psychology of addiction into a science. Little did we know, we've all been lab rats in this grand experiment.
I'm glad that even though I waste a lot of time on social media apps, the biggest one is long form content on RUclips where I wanna learn something new and fun.
Yea it's true but you don't take in most of the info as our brain doesn't work that way ,if you actually want to learn something,take notes ,and go through them untill you remember it properly (neuroplasticity)
RUclips works in a different way. Watching a video recommended to you feels like you learnt something, but actually the knowledge is often cannot retain well in your brain because it does not get used.
I know what you mean and in terms it's correct but don't let the slightly better feeling that you learned something fool you. After some struggles I was able to delete everything besides RUclips and also don't watch shorts at all anymore. But just because informative Videos with good production quality feel better, we often jump around and don't actively try to learn the stuff we see. So if this falls flat we're back at the beginning and just spend time being passive instead of active, maybe even worse than before. I mean 60 min tiktok? Hell no what a waste of time but 3x20 min vids on RUclips? Easy! But just passive consumed it's not really better unfortunately
I'm glad he talked about comment sections on twitter being just more feeds and not actual comments idk when it changed But it has been like this for like half a year or something it's so unsettling to the point that even in the comments there are comments commenting how the comments are just more videos instead of actual comments.
I don't really use x but recently i tried to look at some posts and see what people think about it and i was confused on how to open comments, I guess I was already looking at them.
@@Narko_Marko you will only find videos about other videos instead of comments and discussions talking about the original video It is bizarre and idk what can be done about it

The fact that there are extremely intelligent people continuously making the app more and more addictive and want to make you use the app more and more.
Yeah instead of advancing medicine, environmental or space technology we decided that we should pay really intelligent people to work on making apps that waste your time more addictive and profitable.
I gave up on social media around 2016. And I am forever grateful for that. I keep hearing people talk about how bad it is for mental health and how they can't stop themselves from scrolling every idle moment. And I am happy that I at least don't have those problems on top of all the other things I already deal with. You can stop using social media too and it's absolutely worth an attempt.
@@grafando I believe in you. I have a lot of experience with other addictions so I understand how hard it is and especially when everyone around you also has the same bad habit without even questioning it. But at least you won't end up broke, freezing to death in some back alley like with some addictions.
@@Estrallio Not true. You can use YT and avoid the social media aspect entirely, don't look at comments and only watch serious informational videos. I try to stick to that. YT doesn't rely on interaction between people to survive, unlike social media that relies on responses/replies for their revenue.
I noticed that the Facebook update hides the time in your phone, it detects if you are in dark or light mode and counters with the same color borders that match the display time so it becomes invisible
one thing that started this addiction were people requiring you to "like" their post just to remain friends... if you didn't, you were not considered a friend anymore... and thus people "had" to check their feed every single day so they wouldn't miss these friendship deciding posts...
*Revelation 3:20* Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. HEY THERE 🤗 JESUS IS CALLING YOU TODAY. Turn away from your sins, confess, forsake them and live the victorious life. God bless. Revelation 22:12-14 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Everyone is overreacting. $50/year works out to less than $5/month. Mkbhd gives 50% of profits to the wallpaper creators. Besides no one is forcing by you to pay for premium, the free version works fine
This is why I love this channel. Is tech oriented, shows new tendencies and products but also educate us on how to behave with those new technologies. Great video! Keep it up!
i think it benefits content creator cause they had to learn editing and pacing and utilize them to keep you on the platform, thus they learn many skills. the viewers are the one suffering a lot by wasting time.
I also moved distracting apps off my home screen. It’s crazy how just changing my environment can help. I’ve been using Reclaim Screen Time Control App to set time limits on social media, which helps me stay focused.
Spot on mate, I called this 15 odd years ago! I was speaking with someone on the original dev team for Facebook who confirmed this even back then. The feeds are designed around slot machines, the refresh response times are instant and they implement that spinning wheel as a timer to create suspense to keep you hooked, just like you demonstrated with the monkey. It's no accident but all by design, they are literally made to be addictive like a drug which is why this one individual jumped ship. The level at which tech is used to psychologically manipulate us is actually frightening, just look at things such as Cambridge Analytica for example! I don't often buy into conspiracies but there are definitely incidents where it is being used for nefarious purposes! Some real Black Mirror stuff and yet here we are still scrolling away! 😅 One inconsistency though, as an electronics tech, the board you showed from a 'new' slot machine is actually something very old from around the early 90's! Old Intel i950 processor and erasable EPROM chips! 😁
Hii.. Mr. Boss... I have deleted my instagran for 20 months now, i dont use any otger social media app, all notifications are turned off, my phone stays on Do Not Disturb mode for tge whole day... Doing this for 6 months now, and it feels good ... And i will continue doing it... Thank you for this video btw ❤️
@@Coolgamertag120 I think RUclips is one of the few "social media apps" that can be set up to not behave like a social media app. Start page recommendations? Just disable history on RUclips and open RUclips on the subscriptions page. Sidebar recommendations? Just remove it with an extension. Also, it's extremely channel dependent since RUclips is a platform where you have educational content and brainrot content served to you at the same time.
Now, hear me out. After watching this, do NOT go berserk and purge all the apps and delete all accounts. You WILL have withdrawal symptoms and the reentry to all these apps will be worse than your current scenario. Just like you train up with moderation so your body gets used to the workouts, train out of social media with moderation to be successful in the long run :)
I deleted all my social media accounts a year ago after reading the book 10 Reasons To Delete Your Social Media Accounts Right Now. I never looked back.
The part around 10:00 is really interesting. It really shows how clever people just want to make technology easier and better, and how big companies take a run with it to just hook users and make more money.
Ngl I absolutely hate the new "recommended" notification on RUclips I was like "oh look a new notification" and sees a short from a random guy I watched like 2 days ago Or they show shorts like "3 seconds ago" and I was like "I'm early" but the thing is that short has been uploaded for 9 hours
Scheduled summary is a great feature. I disable almost every notification besides important work ones, and then keep thing like news, finance, etc. until after work to be summarized.
11:15 so that's why i keep receiving facebook notifications about a friend commenting on another friend's post THAT I HAVEN'T SEEN YET! Great insight Arun. Well done. 👍👍👍
Aruns beard just randomly grew during the sponsor section, I know its because he either recorded it earlier or later but I just find it so hilarious for no reason.
Tried tiktok for a few days and got so bored I deleted the crap. Never understood why people like that app so much😂 I find what I want on sources that actually show videos the correct way so it can also fit my TV and can flip the phone sideways🙈 Vertical videos also makes me loose interest very fast. Annoying when videos are the wrong way.
Thats why I have disabled all notifications from my phone apart from crucial ones and I still use buttons instead of gesture controls, it helps just to touch the home button rather than doing the left swipe. Thanks for bringing out this video
When it comes to the user side, social media mainly serves two purposes: either it’s your job, or you’re trying to make it your job. The other purpose is to show that you have a superior or better life than others, and you want to display it and receive attention for it. Outside of that, it’s completely useless-who needs it apart from those two reasons? I use technology intensively, and I change phones very regularly. I love taking photos and videos, etc., but I don’t have any social media accounts.
Genuine question, if you’re creating art through photos and videos how do you share those experiences with others? Asking because I went into music to perform for others, not really with the intention of making it my job (which is why I didn’t do it after college lol) but art is much more valuable (to me) than doing something creative for a job.
I'm literally available in most social media apps (including tiktok) and get loads of notifications, yet i barely use these apps. I spent most of my time on youtube and even then it's only for like just over half an hour
That dopamine rush happening when you anticipate! So true. When you order something from an on-line market, waiting for it to come then it arriving can be a lot more intensely pleasurable than when you open it and look at whatever it is. Especially if it's just a trinket you purchase just to say you've got one!
My phone's battery was too low , then suddenly shut down, then I connected the charger and turned on the phone, as soon as my phone turned on it immediately flooded with vibrating notification and shut down again because of low battery and so much power consumption because of vibrating notifications 🥲 Btw, it was Samsung Galaxy S21 5G which has 4000 mah battery 😢
It's good to see a clear explanation of these tactics getting refreshed attention. To add another example of where intermittent reinforcement is used: in domestic violent / severely abusive relationships. This is why the victim stays, even though outsiders think "why would anyone be dumb enough to stay with a DV partner?!". It's because the partner is only sometimes violent or cruel, otherwise they are the most amazing partner you can imagine. It's the good they do that does the most damage and makes it so incredibly hard to leave. Literally addiction. Even years after you leave them, you're haunted by the good parts.
12:09 i’m pretty sure the PIA column of this table is either outdated or just a lie, as far as i know PIA has unlimited devices and more than 85 server locations
0:40 this is exactly the reason i completely disabled the official facebook app on my phone (can't uninstall it cause samsung preinstalled it on my phone) and use a third party app where i have all notifications disabled, this way i can look at facebook whenever i feel like it and don't get sucked in with notifications
@@katycatjulius Strange, all Samsung phones released after that time should allow for Facebook to be deleted. Unless of course you bought one released earlier in the year, but bought it later. Regardless, fuck Facebook and their sea of notifications.
Color? Whats that. I have it in grayscale so nothing is “eye catching” I have been aware of the downfall of social media for a couple years which is why I have never scrolled on any useless short form apps. The only real social media I have is RUclips. And yes I have been way too attached to RUclips long form videos and I’m trying to stop it. It’s just tough given the fact that it’s always in arms reach. I am truly scared for this generation when people actually have to grow up and get a job for a sustainable life.
Aaron is using social media to accuse social media of making people addicted, while I am addicted to his channel and opens social media to see him WHAT A GENIUS (200 IQ MOVE)
What I really like about this video and the one about how mobile games keep you addicted is that Arun himself uses a lot of techniques to keep you engaged on his videos. This video has a lot of it, like screen shutting down when he beats on the table or fast cuts with lots of movements.
My biggest problem with this video: That really doesnt look like 6/10 lunch at 03:49. Rather more 2/10 and thats me being generous. Other than that, great stuff!
I really love when you make videos like this that are slightly out of your usual niche of tech reviews. You do them very well and, as usual, keep them very engaging. These kinds of conversations aren't just very important but they also might be what save us from ourselves in the future. I'm looking forward to more content like this. I'd love to see your take on 'brainrot'.
1:37 nah no way you actually just called it "X"... it's always been and will always be "Twitter" for me. Oh, and on the twitter algorithm... why not just use the "following" tab? That way you only see content from people you follow, not content from people you don't follow that could piss you off

I deleted all my social media accounts a year ago after reading the book 10 Reasons To Delete Your Social Media Accounts Right Now. I never looked back.
In 12:10 that information isn’t entirely accurate as Proton VPN has more than 100 different country server locations not 67
The part around 10:00 is really interesting. It really shows how clever people just want to make technology easier and better, and how big companies take a run with it to just hook users and make more money.
My favorite part about these videos is how he immediately gets to the point, and good quality videos too. Epic work Arun! 🔥
I love the way that you put the ad in the end of the video.Also pls make more content like this because its very usefull and good for people
You are my favorite tech creator, its awesome how you can give insights in day to day tech problems and concepts

Roblox genuinely counts as one of the biggest ones, Australia I'm pretty sure just blocked Roblox due to this.

Ngl I absolutely hate the new "recommended" notification on RUclips I was like "oh look a new notification" and sees a short from a random guy I watched like 2 days ago
Or they show shorts like "3 seconds ago" and I was like "I'm early" but the thing is that short has been uploaded for 9 hours
Its like when you scroll on yt shorts for a certain topic and slowly the shorts transition away from that into something new and intresting...

I uninstalled these apps and use them from a browser on a mobile, the experience is so bad I am not longer addicted to these apps anymore.
6:20 That is crazy way to keep way to engage the losing gamblers!
It went from Social Media to Casino Media pretty much.
the social part was never really there
@@TylerTheDevourer it was, at first, when poking on facebook was a thing
Scheduled summary is a great feature. I disable almost every notification besides important work ones, and then keep thing like news, finance, etc. until after work to be summarized.

11:15 so that's why i keep receiving facebook notifications about a friend commenting on another friend's post THAT I HAVEN'T SEEN YET! Great insight Arun. Well done. 👍👍👍
Why didn’t you use youtube too for the examples of social medias’ bad practices?
Why do u think
Because youtube is still fine, unless if you open shorts.
u dont have to target everyone for everything bro
@@edk1124The search on RUclips is unusable at this point and turning off notifications saves you from the constant bs the app pushes to you
Ig because RUclips doesn't have these problems. It has big problems but those problems are different.
Arun!!! Please do a vid on 65square. They're a nonprofit social media company and they need the help. They are OPPOSITE of what you just talked about
65squares actually looks amazing. Its 3D social media lol
this one is gollld
love it
Aruns beard just randomly grew during the sponsor section, I know its because he either recorded it earlier or later but I just find it so hilarious for no reason.
I like these science-focused videos about technology that you do, they’re very interesting and educational. Keep it up :)
Deleted TikTok a long time ago and never looked back. That's a time consuming demon disguised as an app
Never installed TikTok in the first place, hehe
It's literally in the name tik Tok tik tok
Tried tiktok for a few days and got so bored I deleted the crap. Never understood why people like that app so much😂 I find what I want on sources that actually show videos the correct way so it can also fit my TV and can flip the phone sideways🙈 Vertical videos also makes me loose interest very fast. Annoying when videos are the wrong way.

Thats why I have disabled all notifications from my phone apart from crucial ones and I still use buttons instead of gesture controls, it helps just to touch the home button rather than doing the left swipe. Thanks for bringing out this video

Nice dude
why not just look at your subbed channels
When it comes to the user side, social media mainly serves two purposes: either it’s your job, or you’re trying to make it your job. The other purpose is to show that you have a superior or better life than others, and you want to display it and receive attention for it.
Outside of that, it’s completely useless-who needs it apart from those two reasons?
I use technology intensively, and I change phones very regularly. I love taking photos and videos, etc., but I don’t have any social media accounts.
Genuine question, if you’re creating art through photos and videos how do you share those experiences with others? Asking because I went into music to perform for others, not really with the intention of making it my job (which is why I didn’t do it after college lol) but art is much more valuable (to me) than doing something creative for a job.

The highest paying psychology jobs in the world are not about making students better at math and English, it's about making everything a casino.
Social media is soooo bad if you use it wrong. I've been severely limiting my time on RUclips recently.
I'm literally available in most social media apps (including tiktok) and get loads of notifications, yet i barely use these apps. I spent most of my time on youtube and even then it's only for like just over half an hour
Its bad if you use it as intended
social media is overrated
i find videogames wayyyyy more addictive
i get bored of social media cause it becomes very samey after a while

That dopamine rush happening when you anticipate! So true. When you order something from an on-line market, waiting for it to come then it arriving can be a lot more intensely pleasurable than when you open it and look at whatever it is. Especially if it's just a trinket you purchase just to say you've got one!
This is super cool 😎
I’m in love with the frequent memes you’re adding in your videos 😂😂
My phone's battery was too low , then suddenly shut down, then I connected the charger and turned on the phone, as soon as my phone turned on it immediately flooded with vibrating notification and shut down again because of low battery and so much power consumption because of vibrating notifications 🥲
Btw, it was Samsung Galaxy S21 5G which has 4000 mah battery 😢
Luckily, I own a23 4g
5000mah
@Quardanter not much of a difference. Plus, it consumes w a y more power

real funny bro
😂😂😂 , this kind of motivation where the motivator encourages you to stop listening to motivational speakers 😅😅😅
It's good to see a clear explanation of these tactics getting refreshed attention. To add another example of where intermittent reinforcement is used: in domestic violent / severely abusive relationships. This is why the victim stays, even though outsiders think "why would anyone be dumb enough to stay with a DV partner?!". It's because the partner is only sometimes violent or cruel, otherwise they are the most amazing partner you can imagine. It's the good they do that does the most damage and makes it so incredibly hard to leave. Literally addiction. Even years after you leave them, you're haunted by the good parts.

4:19 Lol at the Milo analogy. Although our cats do have different notifications for "hungry", "let me out, i need a poo", "get me out of this tree"
12:09 i’m pretty sure the PIA column of this table is either outdated or just a lie, as far as i know PIA has unlimited devices and more than 85 server locations
I just fact checked, it’s true, 91 server locations and ∞ devices
Upvote the original comment so it’s seen 👍
I literally just watched a Techquickie video with a PIA ad and it showed an unlimited amount of devices. So yeah, it's outdated.
0:40 this is exactly the reason i completely disabled the official facebook app on my phone (can't uninstall it cause samsung preinstalled it on my phone) and use a third party app where i have all notifications disabled, this way i can look at facebook whenever i feel like it and don't get sucked in with notifications
You can uninstall it with adb on your computer if you want to

Again, a high-quality video!! Always good content!
Color? Whats that. I have it in grayscale so nothing is “eye catching” I have been aware of the downfall of social media for a couple years which is why I have never scrolled on any useless short form apps. The only real social media I have is RUclips. And yes I have been way too attached to RUclips long form videos and I’m trying to stop it. It’s just tough given the fact that it’s always in arms reach. I am truly scared for this generation when people actually have to grow up and get a job for a sustainable life.
If you want to avoid random videos feeds on Home tab/screen, except your subscriptions, just trun off RUclips watch history.

What I really like about this video and the one about how mobile games keep you addicted is that Arun himself uses a lot of techniques to keep you engaged on his videos. This video has a lot of it, like screen shutting down when he beats on the table or fast cuts with lots of movements.

I really love when you make videos like this that are slightly out of your usual niche of tech reviews. You do them very well and, as usual, keep them very engaging. These kinds of conversations aren't just very important but they also might be what save us from ourselves in the future. I'm looking forward to more content like this.
