    RUclips is nothing like social media to me. It's a replacement for television where I choose the content in real time. This comment aside, I don't typically comment on videos or get into discussions with people in the comments section. It's just a series of videos I watch to pass the time.
    I do understand that if you run a youtube channel, it could seem more like social media for you personally, though. If you can stay off of X, Instagram, and Facebook though, it's for the best.

      youtube is much like what you said for me as well, but it feels like social media when im using the mobile app version. it shoves youtube shorts down your throat to the point it opens and instantly plays a short, so it seems google is trying to reinforce the aspect of youtube that makes it social media, at least on the mobile version.

      Same. I have no social media, and I do consider RUclips to be technically social media, but more of an emphasis on *media* than the social aspects of it. Also, I straight up ignore comment replies, because they are always toxic replies I don't want to get into in depth arguments with, as this is not the point of RUclips, for me. I use this platform, to watch long-form entertaining content. Not spastic controversy after controversy, as it gets depressing, day in and out of this constant parasocial need to be in the loop of "drama and gossip".

    I see an innate difference between youtube and twitter/all the other ones.
    The purpose of youtube is making content. you dont "chat" on youtube. You watch and publish videos and coment on videos. But there's no "youtube posts and dm's" in the way there is on like facebook. It's not focused on "social media and connection" it's focused on content creation and making communities.
    Calling them both social media to me is a bit disingenuous in the same way that calling discord social media is. It's inherently different. Discord is a messaging app. It's meant for real time communication in a community of gamers(the original intent) It's really more of a group chat. IT's just that your group chat gets very very big. But its not inherently focused as "social media" is. In fact its not really made for that and using it like that is harder and requires setup. I use discord for my friend group. We all play games, chill in vc. Make offensive memes. And share news with eachother. But we arent posting like its facebook you know.
    In my dumbass opinion something like discord is "healthy" social media because its not posting something and sitting around waiting for engagement points for dopamine. It's having a group of friends your connected too and communicating with them. It eliminates distance as a limiter to maintaining a relationship with your friends. I have a friend who lives in australia. I'm in canada. suffice to say I dont see him much. But. We talk all the time and hang out and play games.
    Versus facebook or twitter where its relaly just unhealthy. The point is to get you on there. Get you hooked to seeing likes on your posts, and make you scroll through other people who you don't know's feeds so you spend time looking at more and more ads on the side. It's there to take away from you and your relationships. to get in the way of that.
    Anyway yea good on you muta. I never use "social media" like twitter and facebook. It's just there to disrupt my friendships and insert itself into my social life. I'll use discord though to talk and shitpost with my friends in realtime when we cant hang out.

I have personally been noticing a lot less inflamatory content in other social platforms overall. There's no "stupid argument" of the week, nobody's being canceled (or if someone are, i'm really not aware). People from opposite political spectrums, despite still hating each other, seem to have gathered together against a common problem we're facing (online bet apps) instead of being contrarians, pointing fingers or outright trying to profit off the issue.
      There's only to gain.

    I respect Mutah's decision, but for me I it feels like watching reality tv and I do find joy learning about some tea that has been happening especially this year, a lot of it is depressing but I would say is it's not as depressing as what I feel in my real life, I even lost a couple of people this year and I guess with all the drama, the retiring, graduation etc, I guess I lost a couple of people I love online as well, real life and online life has been pretty depressing, but I'm not letting go of any of these.

I personally don't mind that they do that, but at the same time, there's no other channels I respect as much as these, that are tried and true to their creator's vision.. However if Muta's going back to his creepypasta roots, I'm all for it!!

    Keeping a timer that tracks your social media usage will seriously make you reconsider what you're doing with your life, because some people are spending just about every waking hour that isn't devoted to their job, their families and other obligations on social media. It should be considered absurd to see more than an hour of social media usage throughout the course of a single day. That's a whole hour, and that's on the light end of the spectrum. Seeing people whose social media usage is 5-6 hours a day is just depressing. How do you literally feel comfortable doing nothing but scroll all day? Even if your excuse is that you feel tired and stressed, I bet you didn't know that the reason you're feeling tired and stressed is because you've sedated yourself so much with social media that even simple, everyday activities like going for a walk or running errands or just doing a small workout become immensely demanding for you because you're starting them from a "standstill" because you're so physically immobilized while scrolling. The saying about objects at rest and motion are true; keep yourself in action throughout the day and you'll power through. Start shutting down early by taking a social media "break" and you'll have to fight the brain fog and exhaustion to get back into it.

Ai art occasionally pops up but i can simply block the account or ignore it. I'm sure it's true that it can be the most toxic social media out there, but it all boils down to how we tell the algorithm what we would like to see. I don't even follow topics and discussions in my country, since i think it's pointless to know all the depressing stuff you can't change. My feed only contains what i would like to see, so far.

    I stopped using social media in 2011. I just got tired of trying to keep up with everybody who didn't actually want to be friends, but wanted to be seen as a nice person for being your friend on Facebook.
    Definitely an easy choice to stick with.

    I love your perspective at the beginning about the “job.” We see that over and over again when a creator comes forward and shares how miserable they were recently or in the past. It’s such a vicious cycle.
    I made a handful of videos for my students in the weeks following the big shutdown. So I got a chance to see the metrics, see the backend. I would have to stay out and unsubscribe. Because that shit would bother me so much.
    Glad you’re enjoying it and not bothered by those metrics.
