Exactly. Every couple of posts is one you’ve already seen or one that’s out of order therefore you ALWAYS FEEL like you haven’t seen everything. You want to “catch up” but you PHYSICALLY CAN’T because the algorithm WON’T let you and in fact makes you feel like you are even more behind than you thought!!
There's really only a few people who can pull off wearing sunglasses inside, apart from those with light sensitivity conditions. Casey Neistat and Jimmy Hart come to mind.
It feels so good to see a youtuber talk about social media addiction .. people are losing on the real life while behind their phone screens all the time .. so THANK YOU 😊😍👍 GREAT VIDEOS 👍 BIG FAN ❤
Ignoring the fact that Google is analysing everything you watch and passing that on to whoever pays the most, UA-cam isn't bad provided you aren't watching stupid shit like vloggers pretending their lives are way better than they actually are, there's so much knowledge and interesting content on UA-cam that it's a genuinely valuable resource. On Facebook and Instragram, it's generally people shitting out diarrhea from their boring lives onto a page.
I quit FB, IG 2 years ago. Never did like Twitter. End result = I get more shit done. From chores to hobbies. I simply just get more done. Period. Dot. The end 👍
So true , I quit FB n Jan 2k18 and Instagram on aug 2k18, Im not binge shopping anymore and feeling less lonely inspite of cutting out those virtual frnds
I would think it would be love. No matter what he is doing to them (personalizing them), he's still a huge youtube influencer who is videoing himself buying a pair of their sunglasses (which is good marketing for them). Especially since it's his go-to pair, they should be pretty happy about that (I would be if I were them).
@@FrootFlyVids no. He explicitly said he just did not like rayban's (at the time) new marketing strategy. He honestly does not give a fuck, his purple ones had the logos. Now I think he just does it for old times
Hey I have been there. I have a tip. You to delete the app and try not to use the website version either. Wait a week or even a month if you can before heading back on it. I use it only to expand my creativity and find people who do creative things too. Use Instagram, Facebook and even UA-cam as a tool. A tool to learn, grow and displine yourself with. Set up a timer and respec it. Then get off that place. Your life is not app the app is just a tiny little storage space for our memories.
I agree with Nina. People need to have what we call V.P.P. Vision, Plan, & Purpose when we post to social. We think of it as a way to tell our story, we have an idea of where we want to go and we hope to bring people along for the journey. Be encouraged
used to be that way. Now everybody is just worried about being liked all the time and once you keep applying other people's opinions to you're life and who you are 24/7, you look like a sucker
My wife and I actually have FOBI (Fear of Being Included).. Its a great condition to have, lots of free time to do the things that lift up your spirit.. Hiking, Sleeping, Reading, etc...
HAHAHA LOVE THAT! Would just say if you documented those experiences for yourself CONSISTENTLY, it could lead to brand or products sponsoring you to do the things you love. Worst case scenario you have your own video journal. Cheers 😊
I removed Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter from my phone. I was anxious for the first 3 days. I still reach for my phone out of habit. It's hard but I'm done being controlled.
I quit Facebook cold turkey, about five years ago, and I think it's one of the best things a person can do for their own mental health. I was on FB a total of a couple hours every single day, and that's just not healthy. I also do not have a Twitter account. I look at UA-cam for 20 to 30 minutes per day (usually while eating lunch) and Instagram for 5 to 10 minutes per day. That's it.
Nope, youtube is like TV which isn't really social media... you choose to watch specific content but you don't go out of your way to seek out majority of the information provided in tweets/instagram
@@stephanie6851 Come on, we all go down the rabbit holes of recommended videos, 'up nexts', and making/replying to comments. It's pretty much just as bad.
My social media rule of thumb is to only open the app if im posting something. Its tremendously helped me use the app for good and not evil. Helped my overall health tons. Cheers!
I have become a fan of your youtube channel because of your creativity, your energy and the "do more" logo you have tattooed in your body (because i tend to be lazy and conformist and you inspire me and have a positive impact in my life)... so finding out that you spend so much time daily checking your phone and social media is disappointing, i'm really glad that you changed your mind about that.
Great insight Casey. I have followed your lead and you are 100% correct. I couldn’t eat dinner with my family without having my phone in my hand. My kids would say something to me and I would just say yup having no idea what they had been taking about. Thank you for these two videos. My brain is finally cleansing. Peace and love
In a world where everyone is forever changing their looks through plastic surgery, it's refreshing to see Casey has never opted to promote or venture in that direction. Staying true to himself every step of the way and not giving in to the pressures of the pursuit to physical perfection. You are gorgeous Casey!! Such an example of self acceptance. I refer to you in so many social dilemmas and stress the fact that anything is possible while remaining true and humble within yourself. Your content has purpose and educational properties which I admire. Thank you!!
You have nailed it Casey! It is almost impossible to explain Dopamine Seeking-Reward Loop to most people and at the same time explaining why Social Media not so bad and in fact can benefit us all, if used judiciously. I wish all of your followers understand and followers of your followers. Thank You!
*Complains about how expensive the new Ray Bans are* *Immediately slams them on the table* Casey Neistat everybody Edit: Lol do people not realize this is a joke?? I've watched Casey for a long time. I know that's part of his trademark. I just thought it was funny
To be fair he didn’t really complain, also he has always said of a product cannot take the pressure he puts on them (the way he is forceful with them) then he won’t buy them again that’s just how he is
I think i have a healthy relationship with twitter, i can check from few times a day to few times a month, but i totally agree is the worst and most useless platform out there. On the others i spend hours a day, which is very sad.
*IRONY* = Me watching all 14 minutes and 7 seconds of the world's biggest UA-cam creator talking about how happy he is that he's reduced his social media consumption by a couple orders of magnitude. 😂
My relationship with Social media: Just when i thought i was out, they pull me back in 😢 I have quit SEVERALLY but somehow we get back together. The noise. The noise is too much. From today im going back to reading. Life was quieter then.
Jesus Christ is at the door. Repent now of all sin to escape whats coming. Don't wait. Rapture of Christians then WW3 and worldwide debt economic collapse.
I luckily don't waste much time on FB or Instagram. The time I spend on YT is watching something that I either learn from or leave feeling inspired by.
I discovered UA-cam a month or so ago and have given up watching TV 6 hours a day 7 days a week. Now I study different things that actually relate to my life, like how to discover if a car battery is slowly draining, how to build cabinets and drawers and cabinet doors in a variety of styles (getting ready to make new kitchen), how to install a steering stabilizer on my motor home (did it), how to solve problems with my motor home not starting (fixed it), how to install a transfer switch for shore power (did it), how to install crown molding (soon), which glues to use for various purposes, how to read the dot code on tires (needed for motorhome), how to make tamales, how to make chili rellenos, how to make enchiladas, how to de-rust cast iron skillets, where to camp for free in a motor home, what problems different motor home camping organizations have, best internet hook-ups for mobile use nation-wide, which synthesizers are still good to use and what is new in that world, publishing words and music, tablesaw tricks and uses, double-slit experiments, sourdough starter, chili recipes, scarf joints, best batteries for off-grid systems, state residence for full-time rv dwellers, troubleshooting starter relays and solenoids (used it successfully), plus tons of just interesting stuff. I spend about 3 hours each day on youtube but the rest of the day I'm using this information or doing other work on my property and vehicles plus I write, record and edit music about 10 hours per week, walk my dogs and cat 8 to 10 times each day, watch an hour of TV with my wife who just retired and hasn't found her new passion to get her off the couch. I've never used twitter or instagram so I'm glad to hear about the experiences of someone who overdid them and their resolution of the problem that they became. I truly believe that youtube is one of the most important creations of humans. It gives anybody who knows something or does something the ability to potentially share their knowledge and experience to the entire human population. This is education on a previously unaccomplishable scale and education as it always should have been. It's better than books. It has surpassed books. If school classes were done with youtube, people would be better educated for the reality of their lives.
@@itsberto7334 Paragraphs are for printed matter...computer writing is all about space. I use only one space between sentences, for example, on computers but two spaces when I'm typing on paper or printing on paper. I also use paragraphs on paper but rarely on computer. Things change, such as proper names of people are not capitalized on computers very often. Get over it or catch up, whichever.
@@itsberto7334 Like I care. The 5 years I spent in college taught me to have zero respect for "Academics." Those are the people who equate acquiring knowledge with having intelligence. Ring a bell?
He explains it every time lol, he wants to be different. It's all apart of his life brand. The ray ban build quilty is uncomparable, not the same as painting 99cent store knock off raybands.
If you turn your phone to black and white (for iPhones it's under Accessability > Color Filters iirc) it can often be effective in helping reach reduced consumption goals, because one of the huge ways apps become addictive is their use of bright, enticing colors.
The genius of this editing, and this at 1:15. Damn. Like he's constantly thinking about the edit as he's going. Box falls. He gets another shot of it makes it fall again. What the hell. Nice!
Casey I used to watch your blogs every day back in 2015, it was an awesome daily routine to come from school and go right to UA-cam and watch such an inspiring creator. This is the first vlog I’ve seen in a few years after I moved on to different things. I was so happy to see the classic white glasses that used to inspire me to be creative. I love seeing what you’ve been up to, keep up the good work my man
I still have the social media apps on my phone, but I log out of all of them when I’m not looking at them. Basically, I make so I have to deliberately log on to view my social media pages. Works really well for limiting how often I check everything. 🙂
Casey, Thank you for creating honest content since day one. I still remember all of your videos before you started vlogging. Thank you for not bullshitting and being real with people. Social media is honestly so insane. It's a neutral thing we have created for sure that can be used for horrible things or amazing things.
Casey you are awesome. You have been with me through the hardest times of my life. Youve inspired me a lot. Youve evn inspired me to come out and start my own channel. Thanks for all the positivity. God bless you!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CASEY, BRING THE GOOD OLD VLOG BACK WITH THE TRAVAILING, THE TIME LAPES, AND JUST HOW YOU VLOG. YOU ARE AWESOME AND ARE THE PERSON WHO HELPED ME START WHAT I WANT TO DO. PLEASE BRING THEM BACK!!!!!!!
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. - Ferris Bueller (Advice I follow by getting off social media more and more lately)
It is so amazing to see how much effort and quality there is in these vlogs. Each cut is one camera move(unless we're talking about when he was sitting and talking lul)
Jason & Daunte Parrillo I doubt its one take. That would make editing a nightmare, he gets the shot composed, presses record, gets the shot, then presses stop. Then moves the camera to get the next shot composed, presses record, gets shot, presses stop etc etc.
DJay yeah, making a cinematic video requires a lot of shot variance, using a mixture of wide, mid and zoom shots, and it’s much more appealing to watch. I was responding to the person asking if Casey does it all in one take and just moves the camera around and does zoom all while filming one take and then edits all the stuff in between shots out after, which I highly highly doubt. Never heard of anyone shooting like that lol. + there are times he for sure he to be swapping lenses from his ultra wide to at least a 50mm or 85mm you can just tell by the framing and composure/bokeh of some shots that wouldn’t be possible with an ultra wide, no matter how close you get to the object because of how ultra sides distort the image and lack the ability to get a shallow depth of field.
Proud of you Casey! You're super inspiring on every level, and this just made me respect you even more. I got rid of all my social media accounts beside IG a couple years ago when I saw myself becoming a scroll zombie. I had a point where I broke down and remade a Twitter, but I honestly found myself checking it so infrequently I forgot about it again and ended up deleting it. I get on my Insta maybe a few times a day, if at all. With the nature of your work I can definitely see how the tempation is even greater, so taking this step to regain your time was a brilliant idea. I hope its still working out well for you! Youll probably find that if you do reinstall the apps, youll still be checking them a lot less frequently after this.
You’re videos are always captivating from an editing standpoint as well as content. Thank you for all this information. Time is extremely precious! We need to treat it as the finite ressources that it is! Anyone who wants to do great things cannot afford to waste more time than is necessary!
benzmansl65amg it’s crazy Because he differentiates youtube and Netflix as not social media’s when they are. Social media’s are an community based and communication based thing on the internet. So games are also a social media as well. So 4/5 hours on UA-cam is just as bad as 4/5 hours on ig.
shamir fisher compare the content you’re exposed to on YT to what you see on IG. I don’t subscribe to friends and family on YT. I’m not seeing everyone glorifying their lives for likes and followers. Now you can argue that YT creators to that, too. But the opportunity to see, for lack of a better phrase “real life shit” on YT is extremely greater than platforms like IG.
Social media's purpose became a de facto. It was supposed to connect us with family and friends, but it became an entertainment platform that destroys human interaction. I've quit FB,Twitter, IG for more than a year now. I connect with relatives through Viber and whatsapp in a foreign country. You don't have to know everything in life, if friends want to say something important to you, they'll call your number.
How has it become a "de facto" when it's doing the same exact thing that it was meant to do? You can't just blame your own social inadequacies on social media and blantantly make such bold claims that it's not doing what it was intended to do. People have social conflicts regardless of the medium through which it occurs. Stop blaminging technology and its advancements on the faults of human behavior and social norms.
I’ve become closer in a way to family and friends because of Facebook. There are family members I never kept close contact with, now I know what’s going on in their life (ie kids, work, and general events) I otherwise wouldn’t have a clue with if not for FB. Same thing goes for my friends; we all have our own busy life’s and it’s not like I would be talking with them on a daily basis or getting pics sent of their kids. FB allows a connection that would otherwise be missed. It’s not being a bad friend/family member, it’s just what it is in our busy life. It’s how you use it that makes it something bad or good.
I think some people 'needs' social media because their friends or family members moved to different country. It's amazing that people are having conversations about the role of the social media in their lives. I think it'll find its place in coming years. Then, we will be able to talk about other stuffs that has equal or more impacts in our lives.
Everything in moderation. I think as long as the balance is kept then there is also a bonus that YOU give above a number of other mainstream UA-camrs for example. You engage with a lot of the little people. It means a surprising amount when someone who is effectively on modern day ‘TV’ reaches out and comments on something fans have said. That accessibility without intrusion is really valuable.
Damn he gotchya this time it’s just another one of his yuppie “creative videos” to stroke his own ego making himself think he is some sort of a real artist, cause he desperately wants to fit into the Underground NYC scene
Casey, I love the way you talk about things like this. Very balanced consideration of a nuanced issue. Now put down your phone! You don't need my validation to know you're such a badass at living life!
I have been sick for a week ... 3 days in - I stopped watching movies and have been binge watching UA-cam videos on my phone no less --- Holy cow; it's time for social media (UA-cam) rehab ... 😵 !!!
This is what I've been feeling for a while now, and you just gave words to my feelings. And also I understand the problem or may be the equation better now. Cool, Cheers!
Casey, since your last Post on social media , I switched off my on screen notifications ! Now I only look at my phone twice a day for less than a minute.. You have changed the world !
I've never used Twitter and have stopped using Facebook over the last two years. I still use Instagram fairly regularly but I tend to be conscious of it, especially in social settings. I'm 30 and my peers tend to be heavily involved with their phones at all times. I think you are the perfect person to start encouraging the idea that constant phone use is not sustainable. I appreciate you making this video. My girlfriend was on her phone enough last weekend when we were at a brewery that I kind of lost my wind in my sails. As always, Casey, I appreciate you and your mindset on human potential. Please, keep going and pushing yourself!
Actually i'm adicted to UA-cam, not too much with other Social Media
Same here
Paul Ponce SAME
same here, UA-cam is much healthier.
youtube is more healthier if you are watching things that are actually enjoyable
Same here but I wouldn't say it's healthier, an addiction is not healthy
I wish Instagram had a chronological order option
But that would result in the not being super addicted so they wont do that
Exactly. Every couple of posts is one you’ve already seen or one that’s out of order therefore you ALWAYS FEEL like you haven’t seen everything. You want to “catch up” but you PHYSICALLY CAN’T because the algorithm WON’T let you and in fact makes you feel like you are even more behind than you thought!!
I wish instagram did not exist
It does
It used to be like that, then Instagram had to go fucking it all up :(

There's really only a few people who can pull off wearing sunglasses inside, apart from those with light sensitivity conditions. Casey Neistat and Jimmy Hart come to mind.

Ray-Ban should sell a Casey Neistat version of those glasses
U suck
Yeah but who would unironically want to look like that?
If thats what you think, you don’t get the point why Casey makes them like that.
Casey should get those old glasses back, it has his street address on it, return to sender.
If they were Casey endorsed, I'd pay $190.
I’ve had those moments where I’d finish scrolling through Instagram and close the app just to open it again without realizing. Crazy.

I wish all of your followers understand and followers of your followers. Thank You!
Watching your videos on the toilet gets me so excited that it helps me take my dump. Thanks Casey.
Nolls that’s so random lmao 😂
also same
For some reason this just made me laugh and made my day. I really am messed up I guess
yo i don't need to hear that bruh 😂
did you just somehow compare a youtube video to a laxative
*Complains about how expensive the new Ray Bans are*
*Immediately slams them on the table*
Casey Neistat everybody
Edit: Lol do people not realize this is a joke?? I've watched Casey for a long time. I know that's part of his trademark. I just thought it was funny
Schtik
Yeah are you new here.....?
Yep he's so clueless to how people see his shit treatment of his expensive stuff. He doesn't care. Flexes on everyone.
Hahahhahahaha you haven’t been here in a while have you
To be fair he didn’t really complain, also he has always said of a product cannot take the pressure he puts on them (the way he is forceful with them) then he won’t buy them again that’s just how he is
Twitter is a mess. Your intro edit was fabulous and inspiring for a film maker.
I quit fb/Twitter 7 years ago, one of the best things ever. Social media is just toxic
Yea but you’re still using your alt. Accts. So it doesn’t really count there bud
you are so very stupid
The candy analogy is spot on. This is a great perspective. Thank you
I quit twitter in January after around 9 months of being on the platform. It’s so toxic it’s unreal. I feel zero inclination to go back.
Seriously Twitter is just immature crybabies arguing
I'm glad I was banned lol
I think i have a healthy relationship with twitter, i can check from few times a day to few times a month, but i totally agree is the worst and most useless platform out there. On the others i spend hours a day, which is very sad.
I felt the same too!

Amazing video. Some solid points being made in here. Thanks for the content / entertainment!!! 💪
*IRONY* = Me watching all 14 minutes and 7 seconds of the world's biggest UA-cam creator talking about how happy he is that he's reduced his social media consumption by a couple orders of magnitude. 😂
My relationship with Social media:
Just when i thought i was out, they pull me back in 😢
I have quit SEVERALLY but somehow we get back together. The noise. The noise is too much. From today im going back to reading. Life was quieter then.
Jesus Christ is at the door. Repent now of all sin to escape whats coming. Don't wait. Rapture of Christians then WW3 and worldwide debt economic collapse.
@@trentsc4929 ok definitely DONT do that lmao
I luckily don't waste much time on FB or Instagram. The time I spend on YT is watching something that I either learn from or leave feeling inspired by.
Wild Wonderful Off-Grid your in control!
@@meestermaarten5213 ❤💪
I love this guy creativity. This is the real addiction
I discovered UA-cam a month or so ago and have given up watching TV 6 hours a day 7 days a week. Now I study different things that actually relate to my life, like how to discover if a car battery is slowly draining, how to build cabinets and drawers and cabinet doors in a variety of styles (getting ready to make new kitchen), how to install a steering stabilizer on my motor home (did it), how to solve problems with my motor home not starting (fixed it), how to install a transfer switch for shore power (did it), how to install crown molding (soon), which glues to use for various purposes, how to read the dot code on tires (needed for motorhome), how to make tamales, how to make chili rellenos, how to make enchiladas, how to de-rust cast iron skillets, where to camp for free in a motor home, what problems different motor home camping organizations have, best internet hook-ups for mobile use nation-wide, which synthesizers are still good to use and what is new in that world, publishing words and music, tablesaw tricks and uses, double-slit experiments, sourdough starter, chili recipes, scarf joints, best batteries for off-grid systems, state residence for full-time rv dwellers, troubleshooting starter relays and solenoids (used it successfully), plus tons of just interesting stuff. I spend about 3 hours each day on youtube but the rest of the day I'm using this information or doing other work on my property and vehicles plus I write, record and edit music about 10 hours per week, walk my dogs and cat 8 to 10 times each day, watch an hour of TV with my wife who just retired and hasn't found her new passion to get her off the couch. I've never used twitter or instagram so I'm glad to hear about the experiences of someone who overdid them and their resolution of the problem that they became. I truly believe that youtube is one of the most important creations of humans. It gives anybody who knows something or does something the ability to potentially share their knowledge and experience to the entire human population. This is education on a previously unaccomplishable scale and education as it always should have been. It's better than books. It has surpassed books. If school classes were done with youtube, people would be better educated for the reality of their lives.
You should watch a video about paragraphs.
@@itsberto7334 Paragraphs are for printed matter...computer writing is all about space. I use only one space between sentences, for example, on computers but two spaces when I'm typing on paper or printing on paper. I also use paragraphs on paper but rarely on computer. Things change, such as proper names of people are not capitalized on computers very often. Get over it or catch up, whichever.
@@choimdachoim9491 afraid not. No one with an academic background will take your wall of text seriously.
You're not smart. Get over it, or move on.
@@itsberto7334 Like I care. The 5 years I spent in college taught me to have zero respect for "Academics." Those are the people who equate acquiring knowledge with having intelligence. Ring a bell?
Why don't you make a special Ray Ben-Casey collaboration and make your own sunglass Casey-edition...
It's worth thinking about it... in my opinion😉🙂
Is it not anti-Casey? (*Scraching off the Ray Ban logo)
That would decrease the coolness of his custom-made sunglasses because every random could simply buy this.
$299
He explains it every time lol, he wants to be different. It's all apart of his life brand. The ray ban build quilty is uncomparable, not the same as painting 99cent store knock off raybands.
i know the point of casey niestats glases is to personalise them and make them unique but i know that if they made a colab i would BUY THEM!!!!!!
If you turn your phone to black and white (for iPhones it's under Accessability > Color Filters iirc) it can often be effective in helping reach reduced consumption goals, because one of the huge ways apps become addictive is their use of bright, enticing colors.
Good for you bro, keep making your social media consumption more intentional 👍🏼✨
The genius of this editing, and this at 1:15. Damn. Like he's constantly thinking about the edit as he's going. Box falls. He gets another shot of it makes it fall again. What the hell. Nice!
sees the title:
ok who do I have to fight
Noisy people
Lmao
they took stories off their site cause they dont run ads there :(
Social media can be addicting and many people have not realized how much of really life they are missing out.
+ it fucks up your emotions because you are always checking for example pictures where ppl display their life a lot better than it actually is
I’m curious as to how much time I’ve watched UA-cam I legit watch UA-cam all day sometimes
Twitter/insta is just noise for me, well said Casey.
Casey: "I'm no longer addicted to Social Media."
Also Casey: *Makes a living off of Social Media*
Carolus Augustus Is that a contradiction? No. Watch again and give your brain more time to understand.
Brother Lui I'm not going to watch 14 mins of it again
It's normal. Drug dealers never consume drugs themselves.
Brother Lui Hahahaha yes you are very right
@@brotherlui5956 hmmmmm, irony? Humor? Sarcasm? Naw those don't exist
7:00 *Okay, first of all, (because of) the UA-cam algorithm.*
Hhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
So, true
all hail blue shirt kid!
Casey I used to watch your blogs every day back in 2015, it was an awesome daily routine to come from school and go right to UA-cam and watch such an inspiring creator. This is the first vlog I’ve seen in a few years after I moved on to different things. I was so happy to see the classic white glasses that used to inspire me to be creative. I love seeing what you’ve been up to, keep up the good work my man
I still have the social media apps on my phone, but I log out of all of them when I’m not looking at them. Basically, I make so I have to deliberately log on to view my social media pages. Works really well for limiting how often I check everything. 🙂
Eric Dee that’s a great ideas. Just started that and told my whole family to do so as well
I hear those butterfly keyboards love paint chips 😏
Next vid: trip to Apple store
Dimensionalconsciousness I thought exactly the same haha.
exactly same here xD :D
did you happen to hear that from Louis Rossman? XD
Casey did that just to make everyone remember how shit that keyboard is.
Noise comment
When you mentioned loving Candy as an example....LOL I thought you had nicknamed your wife!!
Private Suzie me to lol
0:38
That editing Tho...
GOLD.
Casey, Thank you for creating honest content since day one. I still remember all of your videos before you started vlogging. Thank you for not bullshitting and being real with people. Social media is honestly so insane. It's a neutral thing we have created for sure that can be used for horrible things or amazing things.
no one:
casey: *leaves camera in the middle of nowhere on top of a trash bin*
Why don't you make a merch that says "I AM THE NOISE"
Make a movement !
He sure is
Kinda self hating isn't it? It's like saying "I am worthless" or "My opinion doesn't matter"
Stfu
What a shite idea
Casey I've been a fan for ages, You have inspired me!
To do what?
I love most of your videos Casey.. You bring true light to a serious subject.
MaryKate's Pajamas you bring up a really good point there. Maybe he got rid of beme to help his social media addiction though?
I stopped checking Facebook 15 years ago, did I miss anything?
WaltWW nope
Yeah no facebook is not worth the time. Good choice.
I stopped using Facebook since 2012
WaltWW, probably not. But you can always go back to reminisce on stuff.
did that even exist in 2004?!
Casey you are awesome. You have been with me through the hardest times of my life. Youve inspired me a lot. Youve evn inspired me to come out and start my own channel. Thanks for all the positivity. God bless you!
Thats so wholesome
That debris on your MacBook makes me so uncomfortable.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CASEY, BRING THE GOOD OLD VLOG BACK WITH THE TRAVAILING, THE TIME LAPES, AND JUST HOW YOU VLOG. YOU ARE AWESOME AND ARE THE PERSON WHO HELPED ME START WHAT I WANT TO DO. PLEASE BRING THEM BACK!!!!!!!
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. - Ferris Bueller
(Advice I follow by getting off social media more and more lately)
A quote I live by every day.
It is so amazing to see how much effort and quality there is in these vlogs.
Each cut is one camera move(unless we're talking about when he was sitting and talking lul)
DJay it’s one take right? Then in post he tightens up or zooms or jump cuts. He is the master and he is where all of us learn from.
@@SearchingForLoveOverseas I was more talking about where he's mod. the glasses
When he made the box fall for example
Jason & Daunte Parrillo I doubt its one take. That would make editing a nightmare, he gets the shot composed, presses record, gets the shot, then presses stop. Then moves the camera to get the next shot composed, presses record, gets shot, presses stop etc etc.
@@omgurheadsgone this is exactly what I meant
DJay yeah, making a cinematic video requires a lot of shot variance, using a mixture of wide, mid and zoom shots, and it’s much more appealing to watch. I was responding to the person asking if Casey does it all in one take and just moves the camera around and does zoom all while filming one take and then edits all the stuff in between shots out after, which I highly highly doubt. Never heard of anyone shooting like that lol. + there are times he for sure he to be swapping lenses from his ultra wide to at least a 50mm or 85mm you can just tell by the framing and composure/bokeh of some shots that wouldn’t be possible with an ultra wide, no matter how close you get to the object because of how ultra sides distort the image and lack the ability to get a shallow depth of field.
This is probably the most important video you've ever made. THANK YOU. I teach high school and plan to show this to all of my classes.
Proud of you Casey! You're super inspiring on every level, and this just made me respect you even more. I got rid of all my social media accounts beside IG a couple years ago when I saw myself becoming a scroll zombie. I had a point where I broke down and remade a Twitter, but I honestly found myself checking it so infrequently I forgot about it again and ended up deleting it. I get on my Insta maybe a few times a day, if at all. With the nature of your work I can definitely see how the tempation is even greater, so taking this step to regain your time was a brilliant idea. I hope its still working out well for you! Youll probably find that if you do reinstall the apps, youll still be checking them a lot less frequently after this.
For me UA-cam is the most addictive thing on this planet !
Try cocaine
@@amartyaadukoorie2804 lol
Exactly
" you need a little bit of ignorance "
I relate to that , sometimes you know something and it's just better without knowing it...
You’re videos are always captivating from an editing standpoint as well as content. Thank you for all this information. Time is extremely precious! We need to treat it as the finite ressources that it is! Anyone who wants to do great things cannot afford to waste more time than is necessary!
It’s good to see casey destroy expensive items to make it priceless. Reminds me of the good old days
I spend 4 hrs a day watching UA-cam.
benzmansl65amg it’s crazy Because he differentiates youtube and Netflix as not social media’s when they are. Social media’s are an community based and communication based thing on the internet. So games are also a social media as well. So 4/5 hours on UA-cam is just as bad as 4/5 hours on ig.
i spend about 12 hours a day
shamir fisher compare the content you’re exposed to on YT to what you see on IG. I don’t subscribe to friends and family on YT. I’m not seeing everyone glorifying their lives for likes and followers. Now you can argue that YT creators to that, too. But the opportunity to see, for lack of a better phrase “real life shit” on YT is extremely greater than platforms like IG.
I’m with you
Me too. Gotta stop this shit
Social media's purpose became a de facto. It was supposed to connect us with family and friends, but it became an entertainment platform that destroys human interaction. I've quit FB,Twitter, IG for more than a year now. I connect with relatives through Viber and whatsapp in a foreign country. You don't have to know everything in life, if friends want to say something important to you, they'll call your number.
CKG I like the old traditional communication ways mix with the new.. I’m 29 so I grew up outside as a kid .. these days nature so polluted
How has it become a "de facto" when it's doing the same exact thing that it was meant to do? You can't just blame your own social inadequacies on social media and blantantly make such bold claims that it's not doing what it was intended to do. People have social conflicts regardless of the medium through which it occurs. Stop blaminging technology and its advancements on the faults of human behavior and social norms.
I’ve become closer in a way to family and friends because of Facebook. There are family members I never kept close contact with, now I know what’s going on in their life (ie kids, work, and general events) I otherwise wouldn’t have a clue with if not for FB. Same thing goes for my friends; we all have our own busy life’s and it’s not like I would be talking with them on a daily basis or getting pics sent of their kids. FB allows a connection that would otherwise be missed. It’s not being a bad friend/family member, it’s just what it is in our busy life. It’s how you use it that makes it something bad or good.
CKG fucking lame.
I think some people 'needs' social media because their friends or family members moved to different country. It's amazing that people are having conversations about the role of the social media in their lives. I think it'll find its place in coming years. Then, we will be able to talk about other stuffs that has equal or more impacts in our lives.
My best first step is to turn off ALL social media notifications on my phone.
Everything in moderation. I think as long as the balance is kept then there is also a bonus that YOU give above a number of other mainstream UA-camrs for example. You engage with a lot of the little people. It means a surprising amount when someone who is effectively on modern day ‘TV’ reaches out and comments on something fans have said. That accessibility without intrusion is really valuable.
Don't usually watch Casey but I'm glad this video popped up in my recommended, really interesting to see someone's outlook on these topics like that.
Damn he gotchya this time it’s just another one of his yuppie “creative videos” to stroke his own ego making himself think he is some sort of a real artist, cause he desperately wants to fit into the Underground NYC scene
When Casey uploads I stop what I'm doing to watch!😁 Who else??
me too dude I love casey I want to be as successfull as him one day by the way am Egyptian and English is my second language
@@whiskeywisdomplus you are right
Casey, I love the way you talk about things like this. Very balanced consideration of a nuanced issue.
Now put down your phone! You don't need my validation to know you're such a badass at living life!
one step further, we turn off the power and the internet, not all day, but for a few hours, and experience life as we used to know it...
Lol oh man that edit at 3:56 was awesome, the slowly cutting/speeding up of the rotation was brilliant to replicate how it makes you feel.
Social media addition is a big problem, yes.
lol
i m youtube addicted
We agree
I personally thought that social media differentiation was worse
Lol, my son does EVERYTHING the way Casey makes his glasses; just wrecks everything in the process.
I have been sick for a week ... 3 days in - I stopped watching movies and have been binge watching UA-cam videos on my phone no less --- Holy cow; it's time for social media (UA-cam) rehab ... 😵 !!!
Just by turning notifications off for all my social media apps have made me get on less
This is what I've been feeling for a while now, and you just gave words to my feelings. And also I understand the problem or may be the equation better now.
Cool,
Cheers!
Same, he put into words something Ive been trying to explain to my family and friends that I need to work on.
Casey, since your last Post on social media , I switched off my on screen notifications ! Now I only look at my phone twice a day for less than a minute..
You have changed the world !
I've never used Twitter and have stopped using Facebook over the last two years. I still use Instagram fairly regularly but I tend to be conscious of it, especially in social settings. I'm 30 and my peers tend to be heavily involved with their phones at all times. I think you are the perfect person to start encouraging the idea that constant phone use is not sustainable. I appreciate you making this video. My girlfriend was on her phone enough last weekend when we were at a brewery that I kind of lost my wind in my sails. As always, Casey, I appreciate you and your mindset on human potential. Please, keep going and pushing yourself!
