Your on youtube shorts. Watch full educational or insightful videos you can learn from, not 15 second clips. Otherwise it’s just the same as tiktok or reels .
@@Daniel101. absolutely, youtube full form videos are also becoming bad as well because of the meaningless content paired with the stimulating, fast paced editing. although i would still keep youtube because you find brilliant educators on this platform that you can obtain truckloads of knowledge.
I will never come back to use social media..enough is enough.. We should all live in the real world.. and in the name of mental health..leave social media
It can be BUT for me I’ve watched some very informative videos like DIY projects or space documentaries it’s a place where you can learn a lot unlike some of the other social media platforms where it’s mostly people putting on fronts about how their life is so perfect when in reality they’re barely hanging on
Don't see it as "quitting" social media look at it as using your time as you'd like and contribute to your own story/growth/development..as my short answer when I get asked why I don't have any is "I got everything and everyone I need rn"
@@elgorddoo so i noticed that instagram is like a ego machine, who have most likes or followers, and also reels are better than in youyube so i loose more time and in youtube algorytm is worse so i can stop easily, when i deleted instagram i stop searching for "others approval" that in reality its just an ego machine, now im not worried what people think about me in social media so im more relaxed. And im still only have whatsapp and youtube and feeel great than ever 😎
@@elgorddooyou’re not mindlessly scrolling nor getting caught up in the superficial bullshit that comes with Instagram, I got rid of it and yeah it’s much better to not be on there
Although UA-cam is another void it is more content controlled and you have more control of how what and where you can watch your videos. The shorts have still made its way so we can scroll rot our brains away- i still use shorts and catch myself in that void but we making progress.
If my old phone still turns on I'm not buying another. Hahaha how old is your old phone cuz like my Nokia backup still works like a charm. No internet on that thing
My story with social if u read this leave like My mom has fall in the instagram rabbit hole she has disowned me,my father just to stay on instagram social media isn’t the best place to be in it can get u into problems and there is a lot of bad stuff there My quote is never dig deeper then ur limit to satisfy someone
from what i’ve seen, instagram reels reeks of more toxicity and youtube shorts is more boring + toxic, but not anywhere near as toxic as instagram reels. but if someone were to want to quit short form content like instagram reels, then i think they should also get rid of youtube shorts.
@@mya.xoxo_ I used to be addicted to watching insta reels and tiktok etc so I deleted both tiktok and Instagram, but what I found was that you don’t use your phone any less, you just spend the time you would have done on tiktok on UA-cam
Just as the devil can quote scripture, even people without purpose can proclaim that all social media is bad with the assumption that everyone uses it the same way. Some people use it for videos that actually make them think about their lives and who they are and allat.
TikTok is the only exception I make cus it’s only used for learning and information purposes other than that I’m not concerned with anyone else reality other than my own same for UA-cam
learning and information is the biggest cope social media addicts use. 😂 you know full well that you barley remember or used anything you “learned” and you mainly use tiktok for entertainment.
@@shaunboyle9187 if he truly needs social media for work, when they are working they can use social media and as soon as they're done, switch to the normal phone and never have the distractions
Deleting social media is best decision I’ve made, I feel much better not being sucked in to that hole
It's time to delete UA-cam as well
@@Zenciiiii no thanks, UA-cam is the best thing on the internet
@@Zenciiiiino just avoid shorts
@@Zenciiiiinah. UA-cams fine as you can learn so much. Facebook, Twitter, FB, Tik tok. They are pure cancer.
It's much worse for people who just consume off it.
I took off social media off all my phones. UA-cam is my only look into fantasy world now days
Facts
Your on youtube shorts. Watch full educational or insightful videos you can learn from, not 15 second clips. Otherwise it’s just the same as tiktok or reels .
There is still shorts and it's still bad for you

Social media wasn’t doing anything for me anymore. Once I got older and got started with my career I just don’t care about it anymore.
I have been free of social media since November of last year. It was a smart move. I don’t miss it
I will never come back to use social media..enough is enough..
We should all live in the real world..
and in the name of mental health..leave social media

Damn👏🏻👏🏻🤌🏻🔥
so true
UA-cam is another rabbit hole
It can be BUT for me I’ve watched some very informative videos like DIY projects or space documentaries it’s a place where you can learn a lot unlike some of the other social media platforms where it’s mostly people putting on fronts about how their life is so perfect when in reality they’re barely hanging on
@@brizzle3903court cases and interrogations, cops interactions for me. It’s more chill for me then ig fb sc etc
It is, lots of denial on this point
UA-cam. That's all I need & some underground news & weather.
@@Zenciiiii Nope I choose what I watch on youtube. I don't even scroll through the shorts.
@@Zenciiiiicry
UA-cam has also turned into a cesspool though.
I deleted social media in the summer of 2016 but I am literally addicted to UA-cam
Honestly UA-cam is just as bad and we make excuses to justify that it’s good for us
Agree. UA-cam is also a cesspool.
Not as bad as insta tho
False
True
Especially the toxic comments
Don't see it as "quitting" social media look at it as using your time as you'd like and contribute to your own story/growth/development..as my short answer when I get asked why I don't have any is "I got everything and everyone I need rn"
i now have only WhatsApp and UA-cam, almost 2 weeks, it's jus awesome, just feel amazing
Can you explain how you fell better.
Im asking my self on why should i delete instgram
@@elgorddoo so i noticed that instagram is like a ego machine, who have most likes or followers, and also reels are better than in youyube so i loose more time and in youtube algorytm is worse so i can stop easily, when i deleted instagram i stop searching for "others approval" that in reality its just an ego machine, now im not worried what people think about me in social media so im more relaxed.

so have you deleted insta yet?@@elgorddoo
@@elgorddoojust go for it. Deactivate.
@@elgorddooyou’re not mindlessly scrolling nor getting caught up in the superficial bullshit that comes with Instagram, I got rid of it and yeah it’s much better to not be on there
It's the same if you just replaced Instagram time with UA-cam time
thats right
Although UA-cam is another void it is more content controlled and you have more control of how what and where you can watch your videos. The shorts have still made its way so we can scroll rot our brains away- i still use shorts and catch myself in that void but we making progress.

Gotta thank Hamza for taking me off Insta & just being on YT & Whatsapp for 4 months now (never had Tiktok/Twitter). Its so much more peaceful
fax
Agreed
gem fr, gonna look for my old phone rn
youtube shorts, instagram reels, tiktok is all the same shit. i can feel how my brain is rotting.
its such an dickmove to not able to deactivate them
Try turning off your history! It takes away shorts on your home page.
Just a PSA for anyone unaware: UA-cam also has an algorithm. It’s also subject to distortions.
Great idea. And added security.
I wanna scream so loud right now im not giving up
If you got hotspot on your new phone you call always check social media on the other phone lol 🤷🏾♀️
This is a good moderate advice.
UA-cam short turned into rabbit hole
turn all screens off 💯% they feed you shit mostly
My new phone is worth 100 quid, that's why I can't use social media on it, neither do I want to
Or just don't download it n ull be fine...
Unironically makes a short about it and posts it on tik tok
UA-cam is social media 😂
Yup, it’s the lesser evil imo
UA-cam is social media too
Clever
My story with social if u read this leave like
My mom has fall in the instagram rabbit hole she has disowned me,my father just to stay on instagram social media isn’t the best place to be in it can get u into problems and there is a lot of bad stuff there

Love this ❤
But what's the difference between tiktok and youtube shorts brother?! 😅
Bro don’t be in shorts don’t scrol
I have deleted my WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook account, peaceful life.
It is life thats why
Great idea
Please can somebody explain to me the key reasons as to why scrolling on UA-cam shorts is much better than scrolling on Instagram reels ? 🤔
from what i’ve seen, instagram reels reeks of more toxicity and youtube shorts is more boring + toxic, but not anywhere near as toxic as instagram reels. but if someone were to want to quit short form content like instagram reels, then i think they should also get rid of youtube shorts.

I deleted my Facebook today, I mad a new one for my music and merch STRICTLY BUISNESS, I need to pay my rent fuck a friend.

I want to deinstall UA-cam but i cant can anyone help
I hate the shorts I lose myself after one clip into watching many others
Bro there are various mod apps created of yt which have option to disable short i tried that for a while it was jus so so good and productive
I did it and it frees you
It’s a game changer !
I follow my sports teams. That’s all
This is myy example
Not falling down the TikTok rabbit hole? Said on a UA-cam short which is just the same
TikTok is the only exception I make cus it’s only used for learning and information purposes other than that I’m not concerned with anyone else reality other than my own same for UA-cam
There is always be a 😂 good and bad
learning and information is the biggest cope social media addicts use. 😂 you know full well that you barley remember or used anything you “learned” and you mainly use tiktok for entertainment.
yall are literally on Shorts, what you mean "I *deleted* social media"
fr, i got to this video by searching “is youtube social media” and it popped. i will never scroll, its brain rot.
200 quid 😂😂😂😂
flip phone is cheaper i ended it
All my social media is deleted permanently
I need it for work but I wish I could do this
Just have a work phone with the social media that you need and the other for your normal use
@@retrac3147 what’s the point in that?
@@shaunboyle9187 if he truly needs social media for work, when they are working they can use social media and as soon as they're done, switch to the normal phone and never have the distractions
All these comments are making me so happy :)
I just have UA-cam and Tik tok purely for motivational videos and fix it stuff.
I suggest you stop watching motivational videos and starting working on your discipline. Disciplined people don’t need motivation 👍
I don't have insta I have tiktok but I don't use it
