While in the past the job of passing on necessary life skills, history and information was a collective effort, today, all of that power has been given to commercial media. In the words of George Gerbner, “Commercial media has eclipsed religion, art, oral traditions and the family as the great storytelling engine of our time. And whoever tells the stories of culture gets to govern human behavior.”
And therein lies the biggest problem with commercial storytelling. Twitter, UA-cam, TikTok, Facebook, all the different news apps and websites, how many times do we check the news on our phones every day? In the past, it took weeks, months or even years to hear bad news from the other side of the world. But today, we have everything at our fingertips. Wars, riots, chaos, scandals, the news feels inescapable.

The adrenaline I get when this channel uploads is unmatched
No Adernaline it's DOPAMINE for that craving.💀

I appreciate your support! Thanks for watching.
the short answer is NO, the longer answer is that feeling will taper over time and regress, //enjoy it while it lasts.
SUSUMEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I've stopped to watching news and quit social media for over a year now. I feel like my mental health is coming back. I advise young people to give it a try.
Means now you're not using Instagram Facebook etc
Doing it for 5y now
Um UA-cam is a social media ig?
@@niranjanbabu.j1515 It’s drastically different from the others tho
@@niranjanbabu.j1515 It is, but a good one.
It does my heart well when I meet people who were raised in the computer age, but prefer a paper book or in person conversation. You folks are the rebellion, keep yearning for truth and meaning
Mainstream media is nothing more than PROPAGANDA from the establishment elites.
Our fears are being abused as a tool of control. I'm not afraid anymore. I'm angry and I hope there will be more, because it's not over.
Careful. Anger is another common tool of control.
@@vene Who would win? The one who is raging in public or an organized police force? You can be angry and still be able to organize your actions. Rage and being organized is a contradiction.
@limbo none, they will all lose. the winning party would be the one controlling _where_ or _to whom_ you direct your anger at
My anger always drains me way more than whatever my anger is directed at. Mostly because anything else would've landed me in jail long time ago.

A year ago April my oldest son came to me and said “Dad, I love you to the moon and back, I’d go to the end of the world for you, but Dad, you gotta stop watching the news. Dad, it’s gonna kill you”.
After almost 2 years my life has COMPLETELY CHANGED. I learned how to play the piano. I SLEEP MUCH MUCH BETTER. I am happier, healthier and am so grateful my son thought enough of me to be HONEST WITH ME, and in the process he showed me that he is indeed, going to be a great dad and a better guy, and I’m okay with that.
I feel like the reason you hear that people were "better off/much happier" in the past is due to the fact that the population wasn't overwhelmed every second of the day with negative events and scenarios to be paranoid or scared of. They had No idea what was happening even so close as the next town over and were fine with it and the lack of stress it added.
I was just thinking about this kind of thing the other day, that I rarely ever actually see the "evil hell world" that is portrayed in the media when I'm out in the real world. People are generally nice and keep to themselves. My life isn't actually super affected by any of the wars or politics. Sure I'm paying inflated prices like anyone else but its really not as bad as everyone thinks it is.
I’ll be honest, inflation is the one thing that actually really is bad. But everything else like supposed racism or discrimination or general poverty, is really not bad.
We do need to stay more positive and stop printing money and get our federal government debt under control though
curious then - do you avoid processed food and refuse to take medications and vaccines?
That's why i started deleting all my social media apps this year. I've checked them hundred times a day and wasted my time. It is hard to get used to it and I'm still trying not to reach my phone every second i get bored. Still I don't regret it
Try to meditate or learn how to not get bored when you are alone with nothing but your own mind.
I am going to do it now.
Thank you for talking about this. I was starting to think I was the crazy one with all the negativity everyone spews out. I'm not a particularly positive person, but not once did I think that this world was horrible and humanity was beyond redemption, and yet everywhere on the internet I see people with such sentiments.
Bro just drive to the store. There are countless displays of selfishness and disregard for others. Humanity IS shit, the internet just allows most people to show it without repercussions.
@@TheSCPStudio Probably because you're looking at the wrong place (also you're inclined to think that way due to your experiences - but yes, I do believe the internet has allowed people to do things without consequences)
@@TheSCPStudio Countless displays of selfishness, but what about the displays of kindness? The displays of humanity? Holding a door open for someone else, helping them find something, small little bits and pieces of kind human interaction spread everywhere. You are just looking in the wrong place.
@@TheSCPStudio maybe you are looking at the wrong part of LA or whatever city you live in, most people aren't assholes that don't care about others, in fact the opposite is true, especially in slums (where I did grow up in). Either that, or you are a person no one likes (either justly or not)
@@Hiveatel Goodness in the world is the exception, not the rule. Also, everything you listed is superficial kindness, not true kindness. All of those are completely trivial, inconsequential acts.
This video is made for people who cope with reality by telling themselves the world is actually all good and perfect. A convenient untruth to lull oneself into complacency and inaction. You want to fixate desperately on the rare few acts of superficial goodness while pulling the drapes over the tons and tons of the ugly and rotten because you want to take the shortcut into getting the weight off your conscience. After all if the world is all perfect, that means theres nothing to do. So you can sit back and relax. No changes to make, no improvements, no injustices to correct, no people to save.
When in reality if you admitted to yourself that the world is not right, then you'd be forced by conscience to do something. But you don't want to do that, because that requires effort and because that is damaging to your perception of people and the world. So you lie. To yourself and others.
When I lived in Texas, I had a State Trooper as a neighbor. He would always say that news just sells you fear. Yep,and I try to avoid it as much as possible.
I quit Instagram, it was getting really toxic for me and really affected my mental health, there were times where I would look at my inbox and see I'm the only one sending messages and almost never get replied, I had thoughts of ppl being better and more connected than me, and I was convinced to expand my social bubble, but it just wasn't me, i couldn't . I don't like the things other ppl my age like, so it became hard to relate or find a common ground with most of them. I always felt isolated my whole life, and for some reason social media made me feel more isolated, I end up overcompensating trying to prove to myself I am not alone, but in reality.... I truly am
Wow. I have been off social media for the most part and don’t watch the news
I think I’m gonna take several months off of the gangster/crime shows that I always watch before bed
And I’m going to use some common sense to remove some more negative things from my life
Good video. Can’t see how removing these things from my life could possibly hurt me
getting rid of social media was the greatest decision ive ever made
I noticed this when I went off social media, and I haven't went back. Generally, aside from not knowing how to drive, people are amazingly nice every day. The doom and gloom is being fed to us to divide us more. A lot less inner turmoil when you get a clear perspective, not the one being shoved down your throat before you can breathe a word.
They don't want to divide us. They want us to believe, that we are devided, because that can distract the vast majority of people from the real problems we have. That is the unbelievably large gap between the rich and poor. Or the weak and powerful. Because of us suffering through their propaganda to make themselves more money, while also exploiting other people, they manage to stay in power. We wouldn't have most problems in society we currently have, when those people could be disempowered and this power would then be given to regular people.
Then the people could be presented with "REAL" news, which dosn't benefit the publisher, but just the normal people by showing them what is really happening. App publisher wouldn't solely rely on on profits, but also on moral to make their apps, which leads to the extinction of such questionable business practices called algorithms. Also war would be unthinkable in this imaginary world.
I did a deep dive into the science of happiness for a book I helped write.
Almost ALL of the scientific literature suggested turning off the news.
I havent had a TV for 40 years and don't subscribe to any newspapers, however, it's almost impossible to miss headlines in the process of checking email and being online.
It's great to see the world waking up and seeing the real world...
incredible video, made me realize all of the reasons ive always partially disliked social media, and why i particularly hated twitter.
twitter's trending tab shows whatever news is being most discussed, and then there is even more news, typically from callout posts/twitlongers that content creators make, or even from a smaller creator within a fandom, and the cycle of drama and negativity is almost endless on there.
I suffer from mean world syndrome. My therapist calls it borderline personality disorder.
I don't let it control me by smoking marijuana. Which in turn makes me controlled because without a university degree I am doomed to never have a disposable income.
I don't think there is some overshadowing organisation that does this. But I do agree that we continue to propel it as individuals.
But maybe the worst part is that employers want to control their employees. They want better profits and they can definitely get it by distributing catchy slogans that obscure the truth.
Once one does it, they all have to. That is how we propel this as individuals. Greed and our interpretation of "fairness".
Be careful of any place of employment that boasts a "family" style environment. They use your guilt to make you exceed your limits and they aren't going to pay for the therapy. Physical or otherwise.
Twitter is for looking up memes, jokes and humorous stuff. Don't use social media as news.
I'd love to go back to being a kid In the 90s, simpler times
Same. Life wasn't so........extreme.
Yeah man. Most people who lived as a young person back then would agree.
Every single person from a third world country wouldn’t want that, lol.
dude. you're a blessing.
Thank you for talking about like ... meaningful things, you know
Was there ever a time when they *weren’t* lying?…
I want to be a research psychologist, and your videos are so intriguing it makes me want to do studies and research on what social media really does to your body. I love your videos
Make sure you keep it up, we need people to make sure this is investigated and inform people. We need to be together and united where we stand, not fearful and divided because of skewed narratives from social media that radicalize your world view, when it’s so much broader than that
Often people who have a grim and exaggerated perspective on the world just make it worse for the people around them. It’s important to remember that hopeful, caring, and modest people make for the betterment of society as a whole. Good video.
Yeah, I agree and sometimes I am that guy. And I know I don’t want to be. I am going to be more aware of my actions, not just what I watch
It's just sad how if all of this effort was done for the good and not just material business the world would have been better for everyone.
That is why I love message of show Hilda.Have connection to real world, explore world, help people, spend time in Nature,with friends and family and 0, absolute 0 time in front of phone or TV or computer.
How then will you be able to see videos like this?? If you never spend any time on pc or phone??
@@twistawan6721 In such world with no social media there are books and libraries. And you do your own research on topics you are interested.
How many books people read today I wonder?
no way new video?!
Once upon a time... Pig and sea cow...
I don't see how anything with that opening can't be amazing.
This got to be good.
I've just started my career as a clinical psychologist and one of the things that have striked me the most is how a lot of people with depression or high levels of anxiety tend to actively avoid watching the news because it tends to make them feel much worse. I assume it must have something to do with this you just mentioned here of an already hiper activated alarm system
As a children’s cognitive behavioural therapist I can count on the fingers of one hand the amount of kids I have worked with over the past 5 years who aren’t addicted to their phones and social media. I dread to think what some of them watch on their feeds and how it must affect them
It used to rarely happen to me when I was younger. After I went through different events in my life, I started to change the type content I want to take from it. Now, I obtain the type of information I want and I don't spend so much time on the popular ones.
@@Glasstable2011 I am a building instructor at a middle school. Children today CANNOT function without technology. They rely on tech for everything. You take away their phone in class and can watch an eighth grade student throw a fit like a 5 year old child. I mean on the floor kicking and crying.
Yes, my PhD therapist years ago that I went to see for my generalized anxiety told me that watching the news is the worst thing you can do.
Our minds can't differentiate between time or space (physics), that's why there's studies on reporters who just wrote about conflicts/war and found that they developed PTSD even if they never set foot in a conflict zone
People are telling me that I am getting uninformed about the world by not watching the news. I can just say two things to them.
1.) My mental health is in much better place since I stopped watching the news. Having depression because of the trauma I experienced is bad already. Do I really need to be reminded that there are people who are having it worse than me every day? Some people are telling this to us, not realising that it make us feel worse and not better. Instead of being happy the things are not worse for us, we become sad because we have compassion to this complete strangers we can not help.
2.) If the news are important, they will find a way towards me. They always do. If the war breaks down, you can be certain I will know it in three hours max.
The fact that the news are triggering to so many other people and not just just me is quite dangerous when you think just a little about it. What if something really important happens, matter of life and death and we are not having anyone to tell us that on time? What if we decide to vote for someone we would never vote for if we knew something really important, because we were ill informed, so that person becomes the next Hitler? What if there was something said on the news, warning us about some quite dangerous people, and we did not know it because no one told us? This things probably won't happen to the most of us that don't watch the news, but there will always be someone who will tragically stay uninformed.
Wtf! I was researching for this Topic and suddenly Apperture's video pops out. What a coincidence. This is 5th time it's happening with me.
Here's what I Found what Today's Media is doing:-
•Seeking TRP.
•Not Spending time on Research nor doing documentaries on it.
•Choosing Communal and hate topics,cuz of attention span.
•Puppet of Rulling(specially) or Opposing Party(Neutrality has left da chat).
•Not asking question to Gov.
•FACT is replaced by one sided OPINION based narrative.
And some more I might have left.
Isn't it funny that those who choose to ignore the media get labelled ignorant, if not an attempt to regain your attention then definitely a way of containing your enlightened outlook.
Dawg(Aperture) where would i have been without you 💤....
Your effort is highly appreciated ☺️👍 not only by me ... But by everyone
“Control the media, control the mind.” - CABAL, Command & Conquer 2: Tiberian Sun.
I have been called a know it all or brainwashed by my mother for questioning where she got her information from. We are in a proper paradox and i just can’t see a way to show people “understanding” even this video wouldn’t break the glass of some who truly believe we live in total truth and evil can’t possibly exist anymore. People don’t know where to find truth anymore and most wouldn’t know how to define truth. This is very troubling a killing of the mind, living zombies and they think their conscious of what they are doing and if you show them a mirror they can’t look directly at it. For a ghost casts no reflection see even if they could see the reflection it wouldn’t look wrong or outta place to them… are we facing a new banality of evil?
@@drinkerforever stay strong brother! We just have to weather the storm like the jews and the holocaust or even Solzhenitsyn and the gulag. The boomers never will understand what they are doing wrong cause we can’t possibly know more than them due to age gaps 🤷♂️ and only we see their heads in the sand they see us with heads in the clouds it’s madness why isnt your head in the sand? Must be brainwashed 🤡
Ayo this guy just summed up my thoughts
Am actually 17 and think of this things
Mentally i feel like am at my wits end
Just got to relax and actually stop thinking
In addition, the pharmaceutical industry provides more medication than ever before on a global scale, and each drug can have its own individual effect on a person's perception of reality. This is another personal struggle for many, including myself. It is content like this that helps educate us and keep us sane.
The topic I am interested in researching further is desensitization techniques and why it does not matter whether it is fact or fiction. Thank you for the content. It is probably my favourite thus far
Observe don't absorb.
Yes, best to watch what you consume. A bad content diet basically equals a distorted perception. If there's one thing you want balanced and rational it's your perception.
❤️❤️❤️
I agree, I commented on this video about it. It entails finding reliable information by your own. The big data is endless and only consuming the common content social media offers is average.
Yeah I've noticed that tbh. I moved to the UK and although every said its bad, it really isn't and its nice that the media expands outside of the country. For starters, you have no idea just how much the USA regulates for their media. Its actually insane, the different of news.
But I've never really been scared of the world, or thought that it was really dangerous. I mean its dangerous for me to go on walks late at night by myself, I've been told however my city is really safe so I don't feel danger at night. I never really paid any attention to media, believing its all a scam, and I see now, in a way it is.
How is england better than America? It’s smaller
Jesus I want to get the hell out of the UK. Went to Paris for the first time and everyone said it was bad it wasn’t, I fell in love with the place, now this is my goal to move their by 25. Weird how we have the same thought of just wanting to get away from our own country.
So true! It’s ok to check the facts on the news or social media are true and take the information with a grain of salt. I like to look for evidence on how true the facts are based on and go from there.
Every one needs to see this.
Always to the point, no BS. Great work
I told my teacher about the news controlling our thoughts but the way I said it was worded like a conspiracy theorist and now I’m just glad I can send this video to her to help her understand
I kinda remembered that when someone told me this morning I don’t know even if my sources have good info that a lot of statistics can be manipulated
@@greendude0420 I had a great statistics professor in college. His opening statement on the first day was "People who use statistics are liars".
There's nothing wrong with coinspiracy... I mean what if there is one or more happening right now.
Wow. Thank you man. I’m so glad I found your channel
I'm always glad to have a reminder that often no news is good news and bad things are more interesting to read about
That was beautiful Aperature. If I was a grown man, that would probably make me cry. We should go back to stories like that instead, us kids being fed more bad than good doesnt help us when being out in society
Great Video. I am a subscriber from India, and although I did not think of the "social media giving more negative over positive news" thing, I did realise that it was a huge distraction for me. I only use three social media apps - UA-cam, Reddit and WhatsApp. The first two were very addictive, due to the recommendations page. I don't use TikTok because it's banned in India (this 🤡 moment was unlocked 2 years ago) (tbh I never used it, even when it wasn't banned). I have been somewhat successful in beating this addiction, I installed a chrome extension that hides all the recommendations, even the explore tab, whenever I open YT for no particular reason, I can only see if I have any notifications from any subscribed channels.
07:08 I am not really much into consuming any news content, I only see one yt channel for news every Sunday - he mentions the normal news (which usually contains some negative or bad incident), some weird/hilarious incidents that can only happen in my country 🗿, and the positive news - usually about steps taken to reduce global warming, how some people helped the needy or how some people came up with innovative solutions to problems. And I have to admit, I am into the normal news almost always, and that makes me feel somewhat guilty☹.
what is the chrome extension
Most of the news is fake. You don't need to absorb that crap.
What chrome extension
@@Nishantpatale9423 the name of that extension is Unhook, it's weird that I replied 2 times but I can see none of them here
khabresh is not actually the "news" source that he is talking about, he is more kind of entertainment, but regardless if you use internet there is no need of watching any other news than khabresh cause we will get to know about important news anyways
I've found that not having a television has been pretty beneficial to me, in general. Are there other stressors in my life? Of course! I think that's the point, tho... Realizing that I'm in full control of what I'm consuming. If I want to take a month-long break from social media, I do it. If I don't want to stay glued to a 24-hr news cycle? I won't... I'M in control. WE'RE in control of what we consume.
Remember what's been said: this a war for our ATTENTION, folks. If we stop giving them what they want, they'll have no choice but to switch it up.
Most people laugh about this. But I was and still am able to train my social algorithms in such a way that they only show me stuff I want to see. It's wonderful. And every time I see an untrained algorithm it gives me chills.
You should write a book on how to train algorithms, in today's world I'm sure it would be a bestseller.
But with a trained algorithm tailored to your taste and views, isn't it sort of like an echo chamber of your own thoughts and views? Genuinely curious as I am on the other side, trying to fill up my page with content that challenge my views so that I can expand my knowledge and trying to see the "real" world view.
@@volvobok6644 that is a very fair point. But I am really happy to only see my preferred topics show up. If I feel like expanding my spectrum then I go to twitter. Thanks for your comment ☺️
@@volvobok6644 i respect that
Its really risky especially when you take in too much (like me)
But if you can take it and continue to push good for you
Am at my wits end for now, i get dizzy when i think of some topics i expanded on, the result = what is the point of anything, why even try
Then i just try to forget
A wise man once said less is more
Oh and ignorance is bliss fr
You sure..... these algorithms have just figured out your taste. And you just re-enforce that training by clicking on the stuff you want to watch it's not about "training" the algorithms it's more about steering clear of them. They are designed to show you what you want and to keep you on that platform because the longer you're there the more money is made in some form or shape via advertising or just by keeping you away from the "competition" and honestly moderation is the key nowadays as it's almost impossible to stay away
Create problem
Then Sell the solution
Appreciate it💜 Reminds me of the Don Henley song " Dirty Laundry"
Its not media that annoys me. It is the people. Humans have become twisted, bitter and apathetic
As a Ukrainian, I want to say - media does not make war look worse, it really is that horrible. Especially if you live on the east, cities get bombed regularly.
But I think author is mostly right about media's lies...
So true...thanks.
You never disappoint us by giving gold content
I really appreciate your support!
I haven't watched the news or weather since 2020. I am amazed at how much more peaceful I am. I can't control what is supposedly going or nor can I control the weather so i no longer worry about it, what happens, happens. It is what it is.
This channel has been one of my great inspiration why I'd still move on despite creator burnout.
One word for this and that is
CONTROL
No Twitter, Facebook or personal Instagram for 3 years. It’s brilliant.
I just need to ween myself away from certain UA-cam echo chambers, to keep my opinions as open and responsive as possible! Good luck :)
Divide and conquer using fear. Then use this fear to manipulate and control. ☹
After Trump was elected it made me so sick reading all the hate on social media that i stopped going on facebook and its the best thing I ever did. I never was much of a fan of consuming any kind of News because i saw through what they were doing a long long time ago. I am not a very political minded person. I dont agree with most of what both main parties stand for so I do not vote for either. What I see from looking in from the outside is most people who are all of a sudden very political are extremely ignorant by choice. They refuse to question anything they are told and blindly believe in only one side and its a very sad thing to see
Man I always get this feeling that you won’t make a better video cause the past one was outstanding but here I am absolutely glued to your words and video editing. Thank you aperture!
Lots of the stuff people get worked up about are things they'd never run into in their day to day life, it's only there when they're online.
It IS a mean world. The challenge is to be kind despite of it.
Absolutely fantastic Video, the best and most important UA-cam Video that 2023 has produced so far.
I legitimately needed to see this, you're a Lifesaver!
This is why social media doesn't have a dislike button.
Awesome video man :]
Silent watcher from Philippines, thank you for the wisdom🤍🇵🇭
I've stopped watching any TV and I'm blocking news channels online. It's time the media felt the squeeze
3:42 yes that's exactly what they do they also tell you who we should fear and who can "save" us
The algorithm is stalking me. I recently had an anxiety attack about what's been going on in the news.
"watch what you *feed* on", they said ... "for the body, and the mind"
There is a reason why there is a TV playing the news almost everywhere you go, and it's not to "inform" us.
1970s is the golden age for serial killers .. so it was a scary time to live
The media sometimes gives us information like gossip, and people will decide which person is moral and immoral from the gossip. I think it will ultimately drive us away from what Nietzsche called “Will to Power,” because people will think more about morality, especially of other people, then they think they are good enough without realizing their weakness.
The magnifying glass can make the inch, look like a mile.
Thank you 😊
The thing is most people are followers. If your a republican your a follower!! If your a democratic, your a follower!! People can no longer reason or think for themselves or form their own convictions and principals so instead they have to rely upon a group or sect or cult or tribe or party to tell them how to believe and how to think and how to see the world!! Since you can't think for yourselves and since you don't know your own Self, other men will tell you what to believe and how to see the world. Politics was created only for followers!! They are blind!!
As I always said to my friends, "your world is actually better than your father".
How do they profit from this lies and why does it becomes a matter of life and death for those journalists whose quest is to share the truth ad it is?
The quest for journalists is to create a story the media machines will want to broadcast. Not to find the truth
@@sb2h then why do journalists get killed every year? It's because they're searching for the truth and people hiding it don't want it out.
While there are a lot journalists who only search for stories that will get popular, regardless of content or truthfulness, I do not agree with your generalisation.
@@ruileite4579 i don't like that there are others who agree with him more than you
@@Dave_of_Mordor don't need popularity to be correct I agree with his words
@@Percey_7 popularity let me know what the majority thinks, and if they agree with sb2h171 more than ruileite4579, then we're in trouble. this means they all truly believe that all journalist are evil and can never be trusted, so even if the truth were to come out, it'll just fall into deaf ears. then no action will be taken, and no action means no change
The irony is that while the media is lying to us, it is the only means of which Aperture can upload such a video!
That is why, to avoid being mislead, do not take everything for granted. No harm in being skeptical or at least seeking further conformation to something. Some claims no doubt deserve to be taken with a grain of salt instantly. Unfortunately a good portion of the population does not do this frequently.
Also it is no secret the media divulged mainly bad. It is often more interesting. So no surprise they would focus mainly on so. But there is plenty of good in the world too. We are often just utterly aware of countless instances that would restore our faith in humanity. But it does transpire nonetheless
You are saving this generation
Thankyou for talking specifically about this topic, I got a perspective if not an answer for questions that came to my mind lately. But honestly tho, initially from the cover picture, I thought this was kind of far right conspiracy, but I'm glad I clicked the video, it is not as it looks like,"don't juice a book by it's cover"😂 it's about the negativity and it's effects on the way we perceive the world, aperture never failed to impress me so far, keep up the good work bro
thank you!
I always hated the news because I was aware of its negative effect on ones psyche.
Ironic content coming from a UA-camr. You’re not that much different from the way news media outlets influence their viewers, only that you and your viewers are biased toward your pov.
I love your videos man keep it up 👍
Thank you for your support!
As someone who studies news broadcasting in university, I can tell you the brainwashing of journalists starts EARLY.
I can’t count the number of times my professors didn’t green light stories I wanted to pursue because they weren’t ‘gritty’ and ‘persuasive’ enough.
If you have a TV, throw it out your window like a Rockstar would from a 10th story motel.
"Water is wet."
Thank you for that insightful well presented reminder. A simple easily implemented idea like this can change the world.
And that's the thing, while the obsessive algorithm of social media will show you what's the best post to be shown on the timeline based on your interests, social media also has the tool that let you control which post you want and don't want to see, in Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, even youtube, you can hide the unsettling / negative post and tell the app you don't want to see it. It takes a few week until the timeline readjust based on your new, tailored, and more controlled interest.
you got the control over the social media, dont let social media controls you.
Honestly i think that we simply shouldn't care to see every single follow up of a negative news story, like the war between Ukraine and Russia - It has to be reported and seen, but you don't need to pay attention to every single mini detail in a follow up, and that's one way to reduce the consumption of negative news while still being informed, but also what's said in the video, there are a lot of positive news that aren't being reported.
"We are now all living...in the worst of times"
Meanwhile, anyone with a time machine...given the option to go back in time...would come back to the current time REAL fast. Media lies...Politicians lie...Corporations lie. using fear and conflict as their tools.

The poorly educated are also easier to scare and control. Our slump in education over the decades is no accident.
Got rid of social media and my tell a vision in 2021. Glad I did but wish I had much earlier. Life is awesome. We are billions they are a few we got this I love you all
That's fair advice, when you get too far into a trend, the best way to "Help yourself" for lack of a better term is to analyze, understand, reevaluate, and carry on with this newly acquired perspective.
TV that show us bad news and makes uns feel bad and social media that shows us good news but we feel just as bad. What for a (Zwickmühle) how we in Germany said. A Situation where you trapped on both sides
