Over a year ago, I deleted every social media app from my phone, including RUclips. For a while, I only used my phone to listen to music and text people, but I still felt oddly tethered to the internet, as if I hadn’t really freed myself. It wasn’t until a few weeks ago, during a vacation, that I experienced what it was like to have no phone at all and be free again like when we were 8 years old. The difference was actually insane - everything felt more like I'm actually there and experiencing it and of course more fun compared to when I had my phone, even though I don't have any distracting apps on my phone. This made me realize there’s even a significant difference between having a phone with no social media and not having a phone at all and I think that everyone who has no social media on there phone and doesn't really need it 100% just leaves it at home when doing something with friends etc. Sadly we now use our phone for train tickets etc so that's an issue but I urge everyone to try doing something fun without their phone for once.
And not taking pictures for me is a problem. I'm always thinking: should I take photo of this great moment to go back for it later. I'm 33 but I starting to forget some moments of my life, so for me it's better to take 3-5 photos
@@Anvar2308 I'm 16 so I don't that much life experience but I always hated taking pictures for the sake of memory and never did so. I felt like I should focus on the moment and enjoy the moment rather than taking pictures of it. In 2024 however I tried taking more pictures especially when I was doing stuff alone since my parents or friends always took pictures for the sake of memory so I just got their pictures and I gotta admit it felt nice to scroll through my photo library and 'relive' the moments BUT I also think its sometimes more important to live in the moment and not take a picture. (In my opinion the experience stays in your mind for longer if you focus 100% on enjoying the thing and knowing you don't have it 'backed up' in your photos so you actually gotta tell your brain to remember it. But yeah I definitely see why some people need a phone in their life and I understand them yet I think that everyone has the circumstances where they can go phoneless for a day or week in order to 'experience' fucking life again.
It's kind of scary how whenever i go a moment without my phone i instinctively reach into my pocket to grab it whenever i'm bored or there's just silence mid conversation
To all whom want to break this cycle - turn OFF messaging notifications - NOT Do Not Disturb - but completely OFF in the notification center. If it's urgent ask the person to call you. This helped me.
It's a cheat code. Enjoy it. As shall I. Sometimes I wonder if I should even tell people about my hidden life hack (no more casual phone/social media usage). Perhaps it's better that everyone else numb their brains into mush, so that I can reign supreme. I'm joking of course, but it is an interesting thought. The competition remains low for people who don't use their phones/socials in contrast to those who do. It's a cheat code to life. Mental clarity. More energy. More sociable. Better attention span. Better sleep. Better everything.
@@Elle111L For me it was all just about 2 things I'm not the guy that commented but I also did it a while back and can only say the same. For me, I had tried and failed many times, and the two things that finally made it work (and actually stay consistent for weeks and months) were: 1. Completely locking yourself out of all the apps and websites, to a degree that seems a bit crazy. Put an Apple screen time of 1 minute on all the bad apps and websites, then change the passcode for Screen time so you can't give yourself extra time (I'm not sure how, but for me the "15 more minutes" option didn't show up anymore). If you want to go even further change your Apple ID password so you can't even get a back up passcode even if you try, hell, you can even change your email password so that, if you wanted to go down all of the layers of changing passwords, it would take so long / be so annoying that you will realise you don't even really WANT to get back on social media. Extra: Even more extreme, I found out the company that makes my WiFi router has a setting where you can block websites on specific devices. So, for example, if I tried to go on instagram.com it literally can't load because I told my router to not let that device load that website. You can check if something similar exists for your router / internet service. After that, of course, I also changed my password for the router company website without saving the new password, so that if I wanted to get back in I would have to request a password change lol. 2. This one is shorter, I promise: Give yourself stuff to focus on. Reading, studying, learning an instrument, exercising, learning new skills, doing cool activities with friends or making new friends... if your idea of "dopamine detox" is to sit around all day, of course you're gonna be bored and want to go back to scrolling. But if you take time to go at life more calmly and try some of the things I listed, after an adjustment period of 3-7 days you'll start to enjoy your "new life" and find that it actually makes you much happier than being on social media. This was much longer than expected but it's such an important topic, feel free to ask questions :)
Almost all of us are dealing with past trauma. Social media is a convenient distraction. It's far more comfortable than being present with our emotions. I belive we aren't bored with day to day reality, but rather that we're overwhelmed by it. This is because we haven't proccessed our thoughts and emotions. We suppress any feeling we were taught not to approve of.
At the same time he knows how to manipulate your brain to still watch his video whole trough with your concentration. I dont think he does have bad intentions though. You dont know how many people manipulate others without knowing it thereselfes
@@deanr1758 Agreed. He's, in a twisted way, part of the problem. However, this is spreading awareness and giving some advice while sticking to the point for 5 minutes or less, instead of "WHY YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE A PHONE (NO BS, GONE SEXUAL)" or something of that nature. Imo these channels are meant to be dropped after a while once you get the point.
I’m 25 years old and I’ve never downloaded Tik-Tok. I stopped using social media in 2019 and I have literally never been happier. It was never even a choice, scrolling socials is just so lame compared to all the other amazing things you can do with a functioning brain…
never downloaded tiktok either I think it was all still somewhat fine until shorts and reels were introduced. everyone in my life already had Instagram or youtube for occasional use so ppl were easy to target with the new feature on these apps I suppose. the concept of tiktok videos came up on them thus becoming more addictive. this is the point where I saw my parents and siblings get sucked into this thing to some extent and ultimately me too. crazy that the drop was only just a few years ago. while tiktok popularized back in 2018. before that it wasn't as as bad in my experience
I upload videos on TikTok occasionally, but when I do, I try not to get sucked into the FYP (I don't open the app to watch videos, I do it to upload them or check how my account is doing) and I have RUclips Shorts disabled with ReVanced Extended on my phone). Even though I don't watch short-form content, I can occasionally scroll on Reddit for a bit too long and often watch RUclips for an extended period of time.
Before, scrolling through social media was the only action I was doing in my day. But now, I'm just fckn tired of it. Even tidying my room brings me more happiness than sitting on the couch searching through internet. I only come here if I need something or if I really have done everything I wanted or too tired to do something else. Your content is good, keep going.
Get rid of your phone. Yes, you. It isn't content addiction, its internet addiction. SO many of us have become completely sabotaged by the stream of unending internet videos and posts, its become so engrained in our lives that many of us forget what life is like without them. I got rid of my phone a couple of weeks ago, using the internet only on a public computer as I'm using right now, and it has 100% improved my life for the better. I legitimately feel better. By being so glued to my phone, and lemme tell you it's super super addicting, I was spending somewhere around 5-6 hours a day just watching nothing videos. Something else i realized after i made the switch is how addicting phones are due to their design. When you are on shorts or something, you probably have your phone right up in front of your face and blocking your view otherwise. On a screen, shorts are not even addicting because of the giant white blank space around them, and in short i don't have my entire focus on that one section completely. All in all, you are probably wasting your life significantly by having a smartphone, and believe me, i tried to limit my use on it using all the tricks and methods, and none of them work. Its like having a crack pipe in your house and wrapping it in bubble wrap and putting it in cardboard boxes, swearing you'll use it less, only to rip through it and go right to smoking. Its a literal dopamine addiction and unless you get rid of it you'll be stuck with it forever guaranteed. We as people shouldn't have that kind of technology so often as its very unhealthy for our mental health and for the state of our lives.
Unfortunately, all educational or professional establishments have resorted to quick messaging applications like whatsapp for day to day updates, post-covid. It's a bit difficult getting rid of your phone when all around us, it's the primary way of networking that people have so intensely adapted to. I can't think of a way to manage all that alongside a ritualistic divorce from my phone.
I started smoking since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting Cigarettes. Cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health. I will pray for you all.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Germany don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!
i love this man's videos, keep it up and don't stop :) the toll overuse of social media takes on even the healthiest person is actually kinda absurd, limiting your use of your devices and disciplining yourself is genuinely one of the best things anyone can do in todays day and age; even just putting the phone down for a single day and going for a bike ride or a little walk around your town can be one of the most refreshing experiences
It makes me so sad that I was born in 2006, so I grew up with technologies and all my peers are accustomed to this environment. But I really want to take a step back because our attention span are getting shorter and the baseline for stimulation rises steadily. Even if I realize this, it’s still hard for me to perform a dopamine detox because I live in this era. Nevertheless, I wish to change daily and I hope the momentum will finally push me into the right path. Thank you for your enlightenment ❤
As a somewhat of a content creator on this platform myself. I try to make things as authentic as I could. Not to mention keeping a balance within my lifestyle as well. I think the problem with content addiction is that some creators brand out themselves in a way that can provoke people in a way to feel stupid not to click on their content, I don’t always like this but it works… which is what I could see being a bit problematic. But that’s just my opinion. If people like my own content, that’s great. But as long as don’t become too addicted to a point where they become distracted in their life, I can live with that. 👍
I haven't had social media since 2017, and yes... I still experience a certain kind of fomo and loneliness from not knowing the current trends, or the inside jokes that the rest of the world seems to know. I often get weird looks when others ask me for my socials and I say I don't have any (except yt obviously, I haven't kicked that one yet!). I've been called ancient lol, even though I'm only 24yo. But you know what? I wouldn't trade anything for this peace of mind. When you use social media, you are paying those corporations with your time. My time is far too precious, and I'd much rather use it to cultivate a relationship with myself, those around me, and with whatever higher power that gives the miracle of life. I admit it's hard, but it's not impossible! 10/10 would recommend!
I love how your videos are cut in a way that makes people who are addicted to Social Media want to warch it. You understand who to target and how. Love it 👍
I stepped down from insta, Facebook, discord, X aka Twitter and guys it feels TOO GOOD to come back to reality. I use RUclips only for good contents like this to wake me up again and for reference to study for college. I guarantee y'all to take a break from social media and experience the real world while we have the limited time on this earth.
I often see toddlers who are heavily addicted to phones… I’m volunteering in a little town where people live in extreme poverty and I see their babies on the floor on TikTok scrolling through for hours and once the parents try to get the phone back, the babies go absolutely mental, like they’re being tortured or something. So the parents give up and let them continue. I’ve seen even indigenous people living like this… it’s terrifying 😰
The message was simple but important, succinct but comprehensible: "Do not follow the algorithm, follow the path for better future". I especially like the background music, keep up the good work!
This is possibly one of the most genuine videos simply because he includes himself in what not to consume. Most creators would push a message like this but at the same time incentivizing viewers to continue watching their content. The fact that the mission of this video is more important to the creator shows how big of a deal this is; this isn't a grab for attention. Rather, this is a call to a generation steadily (and increasing in speed) barreling down into a cripplingly addicted future
this is so true. i remember how 6-10 years ago i could do so many things and they were really fun. now everything outside of my phone feels boring 😢 i decreased my screen time but i’m still adjusting. i think i need to go a year without social media lol
break your phone and make the repair cost a lot so you cant get on your phone anytime with thoughts like: "its hard to get rid of it so fast, i'll start later". helped me a lot, i have broken my iphone 12's antenna and back of it got shattered, rip wifi bluetooth and mobile data (dropped it badly), and i feel great and i dont have any type of tech except for my mac that has only safari on it + sanctions that got dropped on my country ( i cant use tiktok, insta, spotify and even youtube properly ). i was addicted af to social media but now, i enjoy my life.

This is so true that dopamine is not feel good hormone but a feeling we have while finding/hunting the most funny video or content we want to watch This whole video tells everything I also have experienced while scrolling Can't agree more on something Great work 👏🏻
Absolutely! I have heard stories of people who started with little or no knowledge but managed to emerge victorious thanks to Ana Graciela Blackwelder.
I remember that back in the days I would use my phone to text important people and then turn it off. And when I met my friends, I would call them with my phone to ask when they would arrive, and then I would go without it and not think about it for the rest of the day. That was in 2014. 10 years ago. Absolutely insane that nowdays I would feel like something vital is missing if I didn't take my phone. Almost as if it's..me.
Same. I even put it in airplane mode to save battery when I don't need it. Now, I'm glued to my phone and it's the first thing in the morning I check. 😊
The best thing you can do it's recognizing that you're being alive while you're doing the thing that you're adicted to. Breath. Close your eyes, feel your senses.
As a Millenial I will say the turning point for all this (at least for nerds) was way earlier than 2007. When I was a little kid in the early/mid 90’s, we were chasing the same highs off of GameBoy, Pokemon cards, Tomagachi, Furby, Xbox, AIM (instant messenger). The main difference is all of these things have been boiled down to their base levels and put into cell phones.
When I was in a military camp for adults, I lived without my phone for 14 days as it would not be convenient to bring it with myself to all the activities. Everyone did the same as we were busy all day from 6am to 12pm. It was like travelling back in time and I met a lot of great people and got so many great memories, it was so refreshing. It was also refreshing to hear music played on a phone from the boys' room on the last day when we got time to chill before we went back to the outside world.
You said "I think we're heading down a dark path here without the majority of us even realising", i agree, especially when using terms like "the people who gave birth to us" instead of mother/woman.
started watching ur videos a few days ago, have rewatched every single one probably twice, been making changes to my lifestyle to have a healthier mindset and better habits. Thank you boss
2:42 You can reset your base level,your mind is constantly comparing thats why mid food tastes amazing after eating terrible food,last time i did a reset smartphones and social media felt way too hyper and not enjoyable anymore,kinda like when you taste something way too sweet
Content addiction is such a real thing and I’m so afraid for the next generation. My cousin brought his kid over a few days and all that little girl did was watch shorts on her iPad all day long and she would never get bored she would just scroll for hours until we would take her out to the park for an hour or play a board game but she never enjoyed that
After a few years of scrolling on tiktok religiously, I realised I felt very little from it. Maybe some actual joy from a song or audio and edits- but most of the scrolling was pointless. Quite frankly it felt shit. I felt shit. Spending hours scrolling away feeling nothing from any of it. I was fortunate that many months before I had picked up reading, and had let it consume me and become a tradition. I'm now holding myself back from short form content, limiting and monitoring my intake. I found I feel more fulfilled putting my attention in one area, in things like books. Afterwards I feel alot better from spending hours on a book rather than on a screen. The full-length stories with detail take me away, my escape. It just feels so fulfilling. And to know I'm being healthy to my mind aswell as well as skill building. Its those extra things that just makes it for me
Actually when i go out with my family i let my phone home and it's just so pleasant to have nothing bothering my moment like i'm here and i'm with people, feeling truly the atmosphere that is such a wonderful emotion
great video actually informative, educational, and motivating without repeating all the other inspirational videos that attempt "tough love" and put you down without saying anything of substance. 🦔❄
I can't tell you how many times I've opened this app to look up something specific, then gotten carried away by the recommendation of all these videos and shorts that interest me, and when I finally decide I've watched enough and do something else, realise that I haven't looked up the thing that I needed. And that's exactly why I'm here right now.
I have uninstalled Instagram and all other social media. Now it's time for RUclips. Thanks for making me realize it! Phones are tools, not something to waste away all your time.
I never usually comment but after seeing this video I must.A lot of us may not be able to change,I mean we want to but we can't take the step.we don't know how to take those action and even if we do,we sometimes don't do it regularly and the gap increases between the current you and the future you (that you wish to be). The previous month,I brought a book called 'Atomic Habit' and believe me it changed like everything,the way I used to be,how i used to think etc. changing little by little to make a bigger change that's what the book is based on.I highly recommend it to you gus too,It changed mine & I'll yours too.
I just deleted all apps and cancelled all subscriptions including music. Except RUclips which I limit to one hour per day. I was addicted and missing out on life and I can’t believe I let so much time go by without realizing it… and so many others… we gotta go back to the basics.
Again, a great video with an amazing analysis on human psychology. It’s obvious you know how to talk to people and what is going around a regular person. One criticism tho, you may try ending the videos in a more striking way, with phases that conclude all and phases we will remember from this video. Otherwise, I don’t even understand the video ended sometimes. Thanks for the content.
Ironically this is short video for a reason and I thank you sir. You gave me the point of the video under 5 minutes and none of the information here was repetitive nor wasted breathe.
I really hope this video gets way more views. I even hope that this exact video is reccomended 10 years later to remind us that taking a break from social media is okay.
@@cloudboy08 thank you for the reply, I was just about to browse youtube again and remembered this video. I will get back to doing productive things like coding and working out. Having a life > RUclips Premium > Watching Ads.

I'm on my phone now while deep cleaning my room, I'm in the middle of chaos surrounded by my clothes on the floor, random objects messy bed, instead of getting things done Im here watching this video. It's a sign to put my phone down and continue cleaning
I just discorvered this channel, and was hoping for a new video GUESS WHAT? But yeh, your content is amazing and too real, that kinda scary tho.. all we're in and all the shit we've been doing for the past week, month or even years...
thank you for this video. This has actually inspired me to go a year without any social media. And I’ll be using a digital camera to take pics, no longer my iPhone❤️😊 more people need to see this video, spread the word;)) we don’t NEED social media. You can keep messages, phone, and calendar apps, but that should be all!
The "social" aspect of social media is what keeps me trapped. I only use those platforms because my friends are on there. I've lived a whole decade without IG, but now that I have it, I feel a slight sense of guilt for wanting to delete it because my friends share their videos and photos on there.
honestly, i'm 17 and i don't have a phone, i use only the pc and i feel very good without it. When i hang out with my friends and i see them with the phone i just tell them "hey turn that shi off brother and let's do something else".
I am also 17 and i got my first phone when i was 8 years old… I am very addicted and have been most my life :( But i have deleted all socials except RUclips and I get what you mean on that last part.. I just think it’s rude to be on the phone with your friends. I hope to get a classic flip phone (i say classic because Samsung made modern ones) and only use it for contacting people.. sorry for talking so much, but it is interesting hearing someone my age talk about part of a life i could’ve had!
@@Fabricplants you did a great job deleting them, i mean youtube can be really helpful when you watch something productive, alsodon't worry abotu talking too much hahah, i like listening to other people's opinion :)
Respect for saying "including mine" many channels like to make these type of videos and still at the end ask to like and subscribe to keep us in this scam. 💯
gotta love that alarmism. I use social media a little every other day, but I balance it with reading books (hardcover, not on a phone), watching films (at home and in a theater), and going on long walks. I’m not a loner, I don’t use a vape, and I haven’t killed myself. I think I’ll be alright.
beautiful work, thank you for sharing this! definitely a good step forward for us to realize that social media is draining us and we must not let it control us.
Fuck yeah. Arguably the best video I’ve seen in a long time. Thank you for articulating the existential fear that has been bounding around in my brain for the past few years.
I actually spent the entire day today without going on my phone and I came across this video before I went to bed. I'm so glad people are realizing this phenomenon and we're trying to be proactive to try to fix it. I'm not messing up my child. 💪💪💪
the vid starts at 2:18 , I tailored my algorithm to show me useful shi,n even when I was young I did choose what n what not to watch based on how informative it is(except 30mn chocolate fountains vids) so ye 5mins wasted n ik I'm pushing this vid even more by commenting but ye this was too unbearable lwk
Slowly and over the course of a few months I have been deleting apps on my phone. Any app I would jump on absentmindedly, any app where I was just scrolling for no real reason, I deleted. And slowly, I noticed, I just… stopped using my phone. At first, I would open my phone and stare at it. Stare at my home screen, swipe around, look at the apps. I guess my brain realized nothing was coming out of it, and I didn’t open my phone anymore. This was especially big for me, because I have ADHD and people with this condition are so much more susceptible to addiction. Now when I’m bored, I might play my favorite song, read a book, or just sit and think. It’s a journey that I’m still on but has been so rewarding.

I'm joking of course, but it is an interesting thought. The competition remains low for people who don't use their phones/socials in contrast to those who do. It's a cheat code to life. Mental clarity. More energy. More sociable. Better attention span. Better sleep. Better everything.
How did you make it?
Yeah how'd u do it bro
@@Elle111L For me it was all just about 2 things I'm not the guy that commented but I also did it a while back and can only say the same. For me, I had tried and failed many times, and the two things that finally made it work (and actually stay consistent for weeks and months) were:
1. Completely locking yourself out of all the apps and websites, to a degree that seems a bit crazy. Put an Apple screen time of 1 minute on all the bad apps and websites, then change the passcode for Screen time so you can't give yourself extra time (I'm not sure how, but for me the "15 more minutes" option didn't show up anymore). If you want to go even further change your Apple ID password so you can't even get a back up passcode even if you try, hell, you can even change your email password so that, if you wanted to go down all of the layers of changing passwords, it would take so long / be so annoying that you will realise you don't even really WANT to get back on social media.
Extra: Even more extreme, I found out the company that makes my WiFi router has a setting where you can block websites on specific devices. So, for example, if I tried to go on instagram.com it literally can't load because I told my router to not let that device load that website. You can check if something similar exists for your router / internet service. After that, of course, I also changed my password for the router company website without saving the new password, so that if I wanted to get back in I would have to request a password change lol.
2. This one is shorter, I promise: Give yourself stuff to focus on. Reading, studying, learning an instrument, exercising, learning new skills, doing cool activities with friends or making new friends... if your idea of "dopamine detox" is to sit around all day, of course you're gonna be bored and want to go back to scrolling. But if you take time to go at life more calmly and try some of the things I listed, after an adjustment period of 3-7 days you'll start to enjoy your "new life" and find that it actually makes you much happier than being on social media.
This was much longer than expected but it's such an important topic, feel free to ask questions :)
there is no trick, you just have to stop. But don't bother trying, you will fail
Almost all of us are dealing with past trauma. Social media is a convenient distraction.
It's far more comfortable than being present with our emotions.
I belive we aren't bored with day to day reality, but rather that we're overwhelmed by it. This is because we haven't proccessed our thoughts and emotions. We suppress any feeling we were taught not to approve of.
When bro said "to step away from all the content my videos included "
he is serious About children's future 😢❤❤❤❤
At the same time he knows how to manipulate your brain to still watch his video whole trough with your concentration. I dont think he does have bad intentions though. You dont know how many people manipulate others without knowing it thereselfes
@@deanr1758 Agreed. He's, in a twisted way, part of the problem. However, this is spreading awareness and giving some advice while sticking to the point for 5 minutes or less, instead of "WHY YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE A PHONE (NO BS, GONE SEXUAL)" or something of that nature. Imo these channels are meant to be dropped after a while once you get the point.
I’m 25 years old and I’ve never downloaded Tik-Tok. I stopped using social media in 2019 and I have literally never been happier. It was never even a choice, scrolling socials is just so lame compared to all the other amazing things you can do with a functioning brain…
holy damn is this Darth_Bane3603 from the fabled piss server?!??!?! (i'm sorry if you're a random person with the same pfp as that guy)
@@hartenny prime example of brainrot
never downloaded tiktok either I think it was all still somewhat fine until shorts and reels were introduced. everyone in my life already had Instagram or youtube for occasional use so ppl were easy to target with the new feature on these apps I suppose. the concept of tiktok videos came up on them thus becoming more addictive. this is the point where I saw my parents and siblings get sucked into this thing to some extent and ultimately me too. crazy that the drop was only just a few years ago. while tiktok popularized back in 2018. before that it wasn't as as bad in my experience
I upload videos on TikTok occasionally, but when I do, I try not to get sucked into the FYP (I don't open the app to watch videos, I do it to upload them or check how my account is doing) and I have RUclips Shorts disabled with ReVanced Extended on my phone). Even though I don't watch short-form content, I can occasionally scroll on Reddit for a bit too long and often watch RUclips for an extended period of time.
bro youtube is a social media
I uninstalled Tiktok two years ago and didn't regret it one single second
I noticed my attention span has deteriorated so bad since tiktok but i can't stop doom scrolling
because u downloaded it on ur pc😂😂

They banned it in russia so I'm happy
Before, scrolling through social media was the only action I was doing in my day. But now, I'm just fckn tired of it. Even tidying my room brings me more happiness than sitting on the couch searching through internet. I only come here if I need something or if I really have done everything I wanted or too tired to do something else.
Your content is good, keep going.
Get rid of your phone. Yes, you. It isn't content addiction, its internet addiction. SO many of us have become completely sabotaged by the stream of unending internet videos and posts, its become so engrained in our lives that many of us forget what life is like without them. I got rid of my phone a couple of weeks ago, using the internet only on a public computer as I'm using right now, and it has 100% improved my life for the better. I legitimately feel better. By being so glued to my phone, and lemme tell you it's super super addicting, I was spending somewhere around 5-6 hours a day just watching nothing videos. Something else i realized after i made the switch is how addicting phones are due to their design. When you are on shorts or something, you probably have your phone right up in front of your face and blocking your view otherwise. On a screen, shorts are not even addicting because of the giant white blank space around them, and in short i don't have my entire focus on that one section completely. All in all, you are probably wasting your life significantly by having a smartphone, and believe me, i tried to limit my use on it using all the tricks and methods, and none of them work. Its like having a crack pipe in your house and wrapping it in bubble wrap and putting it in cardboard boxes, swearing you'll use it less, only to rip through it and go right to smoking. Its a literal dopamine addiction and unless you get rid of it you'll be stuck with it forever guaranteed. We as people shouldn't have that kind of technology so often as its very unhealthy for our mental health and for the state of our lives.

I'm glad more and more people are realizing this!
Unfortunately, all educational or professional establishments have resorted to quick messaging applications like whatsapp for day to day updates, post-covid.
It's a bit difficult getting rid of your phone when all around us, it's the primary way of networking that people have so intensely adapted to.
I can't think of a way to manage all that alongside a ritualistic divorce from my phone.
one of the only actual good informative channels on RUclips
I mean if you like watered down vsauce with more alarmism, then yeah sure
I started smoking since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting Cigarettes. Cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health. I will pray for you all.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Germany don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
Hey! Yes Mr.medmushies
Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
i love this man's videos, keep it up and don't stop :) the toll overuse of social media takes on even the healthiest person is actually kinda absurd, limiting your use of your devices and disciplining yourself is genuinely one of the best things anyone can do in todays day and age; even just putting the phone down for a single day and going for a bike ride or a little walk around your town can be one of the most refreshing experiences
yes keep giving him that sweet sweet ad revenue to get him a new Honda.
It makes me so sad that I was born in 2006, so I grew up with technologies and all my peers are accustomed to this environment. But I really want to take a step back because our attention span are getting shorter and the baseline for stimulation rises steadily. Even if I realize this, it’s still hard for me to perform a dopamine detox because I live in this era. Nevertheless, I wish to change daily and I hope the momentum will finally push me into the right path. Thank you for your enlightenment ❤
Was born in 05 and I feel the same way 😢
This 4 min video helped more than a 40 min documentary. The production is excellent, well done
at least documentaries aren’t shitty
At least documentaries are actually good and not alarmist. I mean except for Fahrenheit 9/11.
As a somewhat of a content creator on this platform myself. I try to make things as authentic as I could. Not to mention keeping a balance within my lifestyle as well.
I think the problem with content addiction is that some creators brand out themselves in a way that can provoke people in a way to feel stupid not to click on their content, I don’t always like this but it works… which is what I could see being a bit problematic.
But that’s just my opinion. If people like my own content, that’s great. But as long as don’t become too addicted to a point where they become distracted in their life, I can live with that. 👍
The future is scary
Amazing video btw, I loved it :)

@@hamzaabbara6627but you done it
Bro💀🗿
right so help me out. what am i supposed to do because I would be so bored lol
I haven't had social media since 2017, and yes... I still experience a certain kind of fomo and loneliness from not knowing the current trends, or the inside jokes that the rest of the world seems to know. I often get weird looks when others ask me for my socials and I say I don't have any (except yt obviously, I haven't kicked that one yet!). I've been called ancient lol, even though I'm only 24yo.
But you know what? I wouldn't trade anything for this peace of mind. When you use social media, you are paying those corporations with your time. My time is far too precious, and I'd much rather use it to cultivate a relationship with myself, those around me, and with whatever higher power that gives the miracle of life. I admit it's hard, but it's not impossible! 10/10 would recommend!
You don't need to always know the current trends. Get your head out of your a**, gen z girl.
I ain't reading all that. I’m happy for you tho, or sorry that happened.
@@stevejames5580 Log off ñéřd. I think you spend too much time in the virtual world thinking your copy/pasted sarcasm is funny.
I love how your videos are cut in a way that makes people who are addicted to Social Media want to warch it. You understand who to target and how. Love it 👍
I stepped down from insta, Facebook, discord, X aka Twitter and guys it feels TOO GOOD to come back to reality. I use RUclips only for good contents like this to wake me up again and for reference to study for college.
I guarantee y'all to take a break from social media and experience the real world while we have the limited time on this earth.
I often see toddlers who are heavily addicted to phones… I’m volunteering in a little town where people live in extreme poverty and I see their babies on the floor on TikTok scrolling through for hours and once the parents try to get the phone back, the babies go absolutely mental, like they’re being tortured or something. So the parents give up and let them continue. I’ve seen even indigenous people living like this… it’s terrifying 😰
Ik, its horrible.
The message was simple but important, succinct but comprehensible: "Do not follow the algorithm, follow the path for better future".
I especially like the background music, keep up the good work!
This is possibly one of the most genuine videos simply because he includes himself in what not to consume. Most creators would push a message like this but at the same time incentivizing viewers to continue watching their content. The fact that the mission of this video is more important to the creator shows how big of a deal this is; this isn't a grab for attention. Rather, this is a call to a generation steadily (and increasing in speed) barreling down into a cripplingly addicted future
this is so true. i remember how 6-10 years ago i could do so many things and they were really fun. now everything outside of my phone feels boring 😢 i decreased my screen time but i’m still adjusting. i think i need to go a year without social media lol
also i wasn’t even a kid 6-10yrs ago, i was a teenager. so it wasn’t even the innocence of childhood :/
Cut out social media for ever, not just a year. Trust me, it takes two days to get addicted again, I’ve been through it
break your phone and make the repair cost a lot so you cant get on your phone anytime with thoughts like: "its hard to get rid of it so fast, i'll start later". helped me a lot, i have broken my iphone 12's antenna and back of it got shattered, rip wifi bluetooth and mobile data (dropped it badly), and i feel great and i dont have any type of tech except for my mac that has only safari on it + sanctions that got dropped on my country ( i cant use tiktok, insta, spotify and even youtube properly ). i was addicted af to social media but now, i enjoy my life.

I remember that back in the days I would use my phone to text important people and then turn it off. And when I met my friends, I would call them with my phone to ask when they would arrive, and then I would go without it and not think about it for the rest of the day. That was in 2014.
10 years ago.
Absolutely insane that nowdays I would feel like something vital is missing if I didn't take my phone. Almost as if it's..me.
Same. I even put it in airplane mode to save battery when I don't need it. Now, I'm glued to my phone and it's the first thing in the morning I check. 😊
@@princesse.561 i can 100% agree with the first thing you said. i also activate airplane mode when im not using my phone and it works perfectly!
The best thing you can do it's recognizing that you're being alive while you're doing the thing that you're adicted to. Breath. Close your eyes, feel your senses.
As a Millenial I will say the turning point for all this (at least for nerds) was way earlier than 2007. When I was a little kid in the early/mid 90’s, we were chasing the same highs off of GameBoy, Pokemon cards, Tomagachi, Furby, Xbox, AIM (instant messenger).
The main difference is all of these things have been boiled down to their base levels and put into cell phones.
When I was in a military camp for adults, I lived without my phone for 14 days as it would not be convenient to bring it with myself to all the activities. Everyone did the same as we were busy all day from 6am to 12pm. It was like travelling back in time and I met a lot of great people and got so many great memories, it was so refreshing.
It was also refreshing to hear music played on a phone from the boys' room on the last day when we got time to chill before we went back to the outside world.

You said "I think we're heading down a dark path here without the majority of us even realising", i agree, especially when using terms like "the people who gave birth to us" instead of mother/woman.

2:42 You can reset your base level,your mind is constantly comparing thats why mid food tastes amazing after eating terrible food,last time i did a reset smartphones and social media felt way too hyper and not enjoyable anymore,kinda like when you taste something way too sweet
2:24 STANLEY PARABLE!!!
Content addiction is such a real thing and I’m so afraid for the next generation. My cousin brought his kid over a few days and all that little girl did was watch shorts on her iPad all day long and she would never get bored she would just scroll for hours until we would take her out to the park for an hour or play a board game but she never enjoyed that
Thank you for making these videos. You are really making a change.
After a few years of scrolling on tiktok religiously, I realised I felt very little from it. Maybe some actual joy from a song or audio and edits- but most of the scrolling was pointless. Quite frankly it felt shit. I felt shit. Spending hours scrolling away feeling nothing from any of it. I was fortunate that many months before I had picked up reading, and had let it consume me and become a tradition. I'm now holding myself back from short form content, limiting and monitoring my intake. I found I feel more fulfilled putting my attention in one area, in things like books. Afterwards I feel alot better from spending hours on a book rather than on a screen. The full-length stories with detail take me away, my escape. It just feels so fulfilling. And to know I'm being healthy to my mind aswell as well as skill building. Its those extra things that just makes it for me
0:47 This writing looked like the intro to Tekken 3 lol
Actually when i go out with my family i let my phone home and it's just so pleasant to have nothing bothering my moment like i'm here and i'm with people, feeling truly the atmosphere that is such a wonderful emotion
Also i try to only consume useful content or documentary not those empty contents such as tiktok or apps like that
This is the type of content people need to see
alarmist content that gives Mr. ideas enough green for a new Land Rover.
I've never been presented with this problem this way, thanks.
great video actually informative, educational, and motivating without repeating all the other inspirational videos that attempt "tough love" and put you down without saying anything of substance. 🦔❄
I can't tell you how many times I've opened this app to look up something specific, then gotten carried away by the recommendation of all these videos and shorts that interest me, and when I finally decide I've watched enough and do something else, realise that I haven't looked up the thing that I needed. And that's exactly why I'm here right now.

Every single video in your chanel is a Masterpiece! Thank you.
The "social" aspect of social media is what keeps me trapped. I only use those platforms because my friends are on there. I've lived a whole decade without IG, but now that I have it, I feel a slight sense of guilt for wanting to delete it because my friends share their videos and photos on there.
honestly, i'm 17 and i don't have a phone, i use only the pc and i feel very good without it. When i hang out with my friends and i see them with the phone i just tell them "hey turn that shi off brother and let's do something else".
I am also 17 and i got my first phone when i was 8 years old… I am very addicted and have been most my life :( But i have deleted all socials except RUclips and I get what you mean on that last part.. I just think it’s rude to be on the phone with your friends. I hope to get a classic flip phone (i say classic because Samsung made modern ones) and only use it for contacting people.. sorry for talking so much, but it is interesting hearing someone my age talk about part of a life i could’ve had!

Slowly and over the course of a few months I have been deleting apps on my phone. Any app I would jump on absentmindedly, any app where I was just scrolling for no real reason, I deleted. And slowly, I noticed, I just… stopped using my phone. At first, I would open my phone and stare at it. Stare at my home screen, swipe around, look at the apps. I guess my brain realized nothing was coming out of it, and I didn’t open my phone anymore. This was especially big for me, because I have ADHD and people with this condition are so much more susceptible to addiction. Now when I’m bored, I might play my favorite song, read a book, or just sit and think. It’s a journey that I’m still on but has been so rewarding.
