Ever since I quit all social media (except RUclips obviously), mental health has skyrocketed and I’m more content with my own life. We don’t need to constantly know what everyone else is doing
Never cared for Tik Tok, and since I got my new phone I decided to not re-download Twitter and FB. Its been nice not having zealots from either side constantly trying to force-feed me their ideals.
dont tell that to a millenial, Zucky, or that weird Twatter dude. I realize im on it now, but I dont believe Boobtube is healthy either. I call all of it, the "Look at Me" Generation.
Ok, so I had 2 nieces visit me from another country recently; They're 22yr old twins, and the entire time they were just staring into their phones. They're really sweet girls; But we'd be driving somewhere and I'd say "What do you think of the mountains there?" - And they'd be like "Huh?"...glance away from their phones, out the window, say they're nice,. and go back to the phone. It kinda killed my desire to bring them anywhere because they were not mentally present most of the time...just staring into the phone like it had them ina trance. I told them, "you've come all this way and you won't remember seeing anything, because you're living in your phone" I think we're all going to pay a big price for this lack of human to human interaction - we already kinda are, but wait another couple of generations
why wait a couple of generations? it is happening in front of your very own eyes. Silence is compliance...you should've thrown your nieces phones in the garbage and tell them that phones can be replaced but humans cannot.
Speaking of twins, I know a girl who has a twin sister. They’ve been raised separate as the result of their parents divorcing. Her mom raised her strictly, limiting her time on social media and phone usage. Her twin got a more hands off approach with her dad. But the rare occasions when I do meet them both, I immediately notice my friend (raised by mom) is a lot more self assured, passionate, and has a lot of optimism towards life, compared to her twin, who’s a lot more muted, doesn’t share much, and is always pointing out the flaws in things. They’re identical twins and is why I completely side with nurture when it comes to the nurture v nature debate.
Since taking the apps off my phone (except RUclips) I’ve been so much happier. Live your life that’s in front of you, spend what little time we have with your family
I've been watching y'all for so damn long man, it's crazy I'm 26 still listening while cooking, cleaning, driving, shittin, I even fall asleep to lew later 🤣🤣
@@EveningGoDs doom and gloom is very common in the "regular" media as well. Im guessing this is a tactic to get those Clicks and Subscriptions! Soooooo tired of these boobTubers saying, "Like and subscribe"
Straight up I don't even use social media, it's unfortunate I'm always out of the loop but I feel much happier than I used to a few yrs ago, I still have my account but I haven't post anything in a while
The only social media i use is yt for information purposes WhatsApp and discord are necessities for communication purposes and lastly reddit because reddit is reddit
Man not 1 social media app is on my phone, it’s all stupid af ! Like have anybody that was scrolling down IG and wondered why am I even here or even care about what I’m seeing ? lol
I still have WhatsApp and messenger but I don’t really use Facebook, Twitter , Reddit or other similar social media apps anymore. In other words I communicate to people I know through those apps but I don’t scroll throw message boards of any kind, like Facebook wall etc…
I think it’s because the majority of the worlds population now has access to the Internet so they really can’t grow anymore they’ve hit a ceiling and it’s probably not going to grow very much from here because of population growth stagnation there are only a handful of countries in the world that are above replacement level also the increasing popularity of alternative social media platforms
Yep, I deleted instagram and snapchat years ago and TikTok a bit more after that and I really do have a better outlook on my life. these things really screw you up, no joke.
It is obvious that it is slowing down, all media companies have reached the limits of how many people use the internet, how the reputation is among Facebook, twitter etc., how advertising is used and that many people are sick and tired of this
I'd miss you guys yea but i wont miss those stupid youtubers that go "yea if you enjoyed this video hit that Like button and subscribe. Make sure you hit that bell icon so you wont miss a single upload!" lol those videos I immediately give em Dislike, even if i liked the video they get the dislike for trying to tell me what to do
The rush for market share is over. So all that money flowing in to capture market share is drying up. Venture capital will shift to metaverse companies.

I'm with you 100% buddy.

I'm the same way expect I unsubbed with all vloggers

Same. My mental health has been so much better.
I totally agree I only have RUclips and Pinterest on my phone. Deleted instagram and been more happier and more productive
after social media is gone it'll be back to emails and phone numbers again
I've been watching y'all for so damn long man, it's crazy I'm 26 still listening while cooking, cleaning, driving, shittin, I even fall asleep to lew later 🤣🤣
Lew addicted lmao
Dang dude you need to diversify
@@glynnpowell7864 there's a few others but Lew's always been in my rotation
This is a bad effect of social media
Please talk about how Snapchat, TikTok and other social media companies are bypassing Apple’s screen time and how no one is doing anything about it.
they are!??!?!
This is good news, social media was a mistake
Amen bro
They care wayyy more about being paid to control the narrative than the actual amount of users they have
Ironic… u on it
Weren't we all
😂
I've mostly gotten off social media. RUclips is the only one dominating my time. But I use premium, so no ads.
Except for RUclips I can't stand social media and recently I started deleting channels that only sell fear porn all day 🤦🏾♂️
Same. I had to unsubscribe from Tim Pool's channel. Every video was selling civil war is coming! too much
what is fear porn?
@@bill2066 channels that feed on people's fear, every video is about doom & gloom

Withdrawal freezes very common for small banks here in India after 2019 RBI crackdown.
That mentality that company always wants to increase profit from year to year is sick. So unnatural.
People talk trash about social media on social media 🤦🏾♂️
It’s like TV news channels talking about “the news media” like they aren’t part of it themselves. 😀
Nah Instagram and twitter like
I don't use TikTok or Apple, so this does not effect me?
I still have WhatsApp and messenger but I don’t really use Facebook, Twitter , Reddit or other similar social media apps anymore. In other words I communicate to people I know through those apps but I don’t scroll throw message boards of any kind, like Facebook wall etc…
all apps now tiktok.
Why is tiktok not removed?
Well thank god i downloaded all of my favorite songs and videos from RUclips before THEY decide to shut it down completely(JUST LIKE MYSPACE👀)
Social media is running out of idiots to manipulate. 👍

That’s why India was such a huge target for most of these social media companies. China is too but the government will not let this happen.
I only use Facebook for the messenger app. I don't take the other apps seriously. I use the phone to stream movies and videos on different paid apps
Yep, I deleted instagram and snapchat years ago and TikTok a bit more after that and I really do have a better outlook on my life. these things really screw you up, no joke.
only utube is there now... IG i try to avoid as much as possible.... and tiktok is banned. thank god
You know what i agree 👍🏼
Lew has cold dead eyes
Honestly, I wish Social media was NEVER invented! But, cant Unring a bell. Biblical Prophecy. I call it the "Look at Me Generation."
TikTok doesn't make any money. One time waster for another except this time no one makes any money
I don't have apple
Censorship, propaganda, so people leave.
People still use twitter and such.. but facebook,instagram,etc all is dying
Am happy that am not in any and after few more years.. I gonna be left out from the herd!
Rolling through the 6 with my (economic) woes. 🎶
I got a SAMSUNG
I’m liking meta Facebook leap puts a lot right now. I don’t see how they sustain this and trading where it does.
I am one step away to yeet FB for good. This time I have it only in my personal laptop (which I use really rarely).
Me too
i feel like it will happen to youtube
😐
RUclips Telegram and WhatsApp
Actually first
Actually second
Yup

Nobody cares kid

Where’s Mo Money?
They did it to themselves because censoring people has that effect.
