I Finally Quit ALL Social Media (Youtube Update)!

- So I finally quit all social media, but I do intend to get back on at some point in the future. I received a lot of feedback from you guys and I think that after I figure out how to live without social media, I'll come back on to see if my training has paid off. Thank you for tuning in.

If you did a video on how you quit, fighting the impulse to check social media, etc. that would blow up. Everyone is talking about quitting social media but nobody is talking about quitting UA-cam.
True
^Absolutely this! Have seen a lot of videos about getting rid of (and/or detoxing from) social media, and there are very few videos about UA-cam addiction unfortunately (and some of them seem to be just about regulating time on UA-cam, which isn't helpful if the addicted person is trying to slowly wean their way off UA-cam before going cold turkey, depending on why they're always on UA-cam to begin with). Imo, I think one of the important things to remember about addiction of any kind is that it can sometimes be a coping mechanism and/or self-soothing thing when they're dealing with something else in their life that they turn to social media/UA-cam for.
In my experience having a UA-cam addiction, I'm self-aware enough to know why I'm in that spiral (mostly from a combo of struggling to find a job/getting easily distracted on the Internet when I do go job-hunting along with feeling despondent that I haven't been able to find one, as well as having some other personal issues going on in my life lately that I don't wanna disclose).
I’m on my way towards deleting social media and UA-cam, as a content creator. It’s hard, I’m not sure if I will get to the point of not ever creating videos again, but I want to be more in tune with the beautiful real world without the distractions
It’s so nice of UA-cam to recommend me this video. You know it’s rare when a pusher is offering you a rehab.
😅😂🤣⚰️ nice comment
The only part I love about social media is the ACTUAL connection between like-minded people, and people recommending products and advising each other. It's heartwarming when you find actual help on this planet with helpless evil beings full pf hatred.
I agree with that. The only thing I do miss about social media are the like minded individuals I met on there. Other than that, I’m good off it
It's just so hard to find that balance. Social media is so all or nothing, you can't have the positives without an insane amount of negatives. But I also feel like those positives are invaluable and irreplaceable, from knowing what's going on in the world that really matters to hearing different perspectives even to just seeing really good jokes that crack you up and come back to you at random and brighten your day.
@@bendandsnatch2683 I agree
Social media was sold to us on the obvious positives, but the capitalist profit motive (along with the ubiquitous advertisement model) meant that these tech giants' business model was NOT going to be geared towards those things, but simply purely based on engagement. Time spent on app. And that is the incentive structure that has led to what we see today on social media (and also platforms like YT)
The irony is all those helpless evil beings full of hatred are also being amplified by social media
"What amma do? Scroll and look at my notes?". Man that cracked me up :DD
🤣🤣🤣
Tbh my notes been dying for me to look at it. I journal a lot. I plan a lot but never seem to take action towards a lot of it. So I think looking at notes and conditioning myself with that useful information is deff wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than looking at social media and creating a person who I don’t even know that I don’t know. Wake up !!!
I have 4 notes apps. 1 for life plans, 1 for academic stuff, 1 for dumping text from my website and the other one, we don't talk about that. All 4 are neglected.
@@dasunra1640 I agree that it's way better. It just sound funny in a way, especially when I can reflect on that. When i started dopamine detox, i went trough 5 years worth of photos, studying each one of them, then, even drew some of them. That's what dopamine detox do for ya.
Me too! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Living under a rock is a good way to connect to people, like “bro have you seen -blank- yet?” “No, tell me about it” then they get to share it with you and you can look at it with fresh eyes and new thoughts
Finally someone said my thoughts out loud. This was kinda like a therapy for me.
Was refreshing to see someone else improving their life without distractions.
Great minds think alike, thank you for supporting my video
That's why I stopped streaming
Agreed!
@@lezzdudishonestly i feel this & on the verge of it myself. Stay up!
@@WaaaveKingTTTrent Look at it like this it's more to life than being confined to a chair posting, besides UA-cam isn't a business they can cut you loose tomorrow,gotta do what's best for your future.
I love your final sentence. "Have a good day", plain and simple, no "Please like and subscribe to the channel" mantra, no bullshit. You too have a great day man.
A few years ago my ISP fucked up and left me with no internet for a month. I couldn't even get 4G because of the remote area I live in... For the first week or so, I was going out of my mind with boredom, but something clicked eventually.
My attention span came back and I started reading books, watching movies and listening to music like I hadn't done in years. Not just passively having something on in the background while I idly flicked through social media, but giving it my full attention and getting so much more out of the experience.
By the end of the month I'd more or less stopped even thinking about going online, but then they reconnected me, I went back online and all that detoxing was undone.
man, you got the miracle medicine!
i quit everything else except UA-cam but not addicted to it so that's good. i read wayyyyyyy more books and practice spanish and try loads of new activities
I’m glad to know that. My spanish is something I’ve been trying to polish now that I have more time. Side note: if you learn to speak good Spanish, it’s easier to get higher paying jobs! I’m rooting for you, Susie!
@@Eli.G12 yes very true. practice makes perfect.
Sometimes I find myself scrolling through settings on my phone or cleaning my gallery. It’s crazy how hooked we can be to our phone/scrolling in general.
you don't realize how toxic social media is, and how dysfunctional your way of thinking becomes in so many ways until you've eliminated them. The problem with this is bigger than ourselves. The problem is that there are literally billions of people in the world just like this. I seriously think that social media is going to bring about an involution in human culture and many other aspects.
As someone who quit social media (minus UA-cam) then got back on, it’s really easy to fall back into old patterns. I’d suggest not rejoining until you determine how exactly you intend to use each app, and also limiting yourself to as little apps as possible. I went from IG, FB, TT, YT and SC to IG and YT because that’s all I need to stay up to date and relax for a bit.
Also, I found a lot of peace in using social media on my laptop instead of my phone. I barely spend time on socials when I’m on my laptop; 15-20 minutes max (minus UA-cam lol).
Yep, the big hack is making a personal rule to only use these apps on your PC. But there’s still the problem of relapsing on the smart phone…unless you downgrade to a flip phone
I use socia media just as much on my laptop as I do on my phone. I like it better because the screen is bigger.
This is what I’m doing
To be honest, not being in the loop feels like a plus.
It's mostly usless information that will be forgotten anyways, i don't mind asking my friends to narrate what happend, it's healthy for both!
Keep going with the UA-cam man!!! You got the empathy, deep voice and editing skills.
Experiment with thumbnails, titles, do some current topics just to raise awareness for your channel.
You got this! 💯
I appreciate that, I'll definetly apply your advice in future videos. Thank you!
This video is exactly what I needed to see. The youtube algorithm has defeated itself, this is my wake up call. Thank you for the motivation
Bro you are 1:1 me when it comes to all these life damaging behaviours... your first Video about the Topic hit me hard in a positive way. Thank you, truly inspiring❤
Sorry if im bad in english, im a Bavarian German😂
😂😂 my brother from another mother🤝. And it’s alright bro, English isn’t my first language either. Aye, at least you know how to speak two languages
Ehrenmann ❤
Für uns Bayern war das heute (/gestern) ja kein zu glorreicher tag :(
@@Schabulla War definitiv ein interessantes Spiel. Aber ja, wenn die Mannschaft vorne keine Tore macht, kriegt sie sie eben hinten rein. Schade auch, dass Tuchels Plan nicht aufging, in der Verlängerung Kane zu bringen, weil ja in der letzten Minute der Nachspielzeit noch das 2:1 fiel. Mit ihm hätten sie vielleicht noch einen Kopfballspieler vorne gehabt, der die Flanken verwandelt die immer ins Leere gingen.
You’ve inspired me to get off UA-cam I am addicted. Thank you. What you did was essentially a dopamine detox, which is exactly what I need
I’ve been social media free for the last 8 months and it’s been transformative. However just like you I became addicted to UA-cam. This really inspired me to stop being a hypocrite 😆 😂 I love your personality. Definitely gained a new subscriber!
Dude, you have a great way with words and are a really fantastic reporter of your own experience. I've done experiments before with various kinds of entertainment abstinence and the results have been mixed. It's really cool to hear your unfiltered experience of trying similar stuff. It's cool how you just relay your honest experience instead of overhyping the benefits to get views. Makes me feel more normal about my own experiences. Loving your content man, keep it up..
You are definitely gonna blow up. You’re great at this
I’m cracking up! Your delivery is hilarious! Great content
Glad it’s working out for you! I’m approaching my digital detox vacation where I plan to consume less and create more meaning I will delete social media apps and focus on my creative hobbies ☺️ I can’t wait!
man I just came from the first UA-cam video and I think you are not trying to be funny but you make me laugh so fucking much😂, love your vibe. you inspired me to be more productive also, I lose too much life and brain cells on apps, I think being bored is like a blessing because you are forced to engage with life then, the thing is that we never allow ourselves to be bored, we are always trying be distracted, thanks man. u are so cool, gonna watch your video about boredom now lol
I felt this to my core 😂😂😂😂 It’s a process indeed. YT is the last social I have and I’m definitely going to say goodbye for a few months again. I went to Atlanta today and just saw so much that I never noticed because normally I would be on social media. Your video is so on point, thank you.
Sir, it is ridiculous how much of what you say were your problems are my problems. I always think "i have no time" and then i correct myself because i know i do but i sit on my phone til 1am, wake up late and then i try to sleep at 11pm, wasting two hours. And honestly when i get home from uni/ work i do waste a lot of time on social media too.
But because I know all of these problems so well its says so much about you as a person, that you were able to realize those problems and then actually act on your realization. Props to you, really!
I just got out of my appointment with my psychiatrist and talked about this with her. I left social media a week ago and I've already found myself increasing my use of UA-cam. The algorithm certainly listened to me and recommended your video as it is the first time I have seen any recommendations on this topic.
Real shit G. You just inspired me to get off YT again. I deleted IG and all other social media at the beginning of the year and honestly it wasn’t hard at all. But why would it be when I just replaced all that saved time with just more YT? I tried deleting it back this summer, but I kid you not, I literally started using the horrid mobile chrome version of YT, that’s how addicted I was, or am.
But this time around I’m not going to try to just delete the app and cold turkey it, because I know that won’t work for me. My new plan is, I can only watch YT on my 1 hour break at work or play in the background while I’m getting ready for work. Other than that, it’s no more. No more watching YT videos wasting all of my little free time after work and no more staying up late and wasting my weekend away staring at my phone all day. And I know if I stick to that I will be 400% more productive and actually be able to make progress in my life rather than just sticking to comfort and stagnation.
Thanks again brother. I am now subbed btw 💯
This is actually insane, i watched the previous vid right before this and i feel like ive been living in denial cause i too left social media to make time for myself but i didn't leave youtube and it's insane how i can relate to everything you mentioned about your experience, you voiced out everything i was afraid of telling myself and idk who you are but s/o the algorithm for bringing you to me ❤
Your first video helped me a lot but clearly I am here again. Overall, the task is not done but I can see the light in all the darkness now. UA-cam is the only one left now, I know you like the viewers but I'd like to live better so thank you for the insight into your own journey brother, my best wishes.
7:13 yeah man, there’s real liberation in living outside of the aquarium of social media. I’ve been off all platforms but YT for two months now. Don’t miss it, don’t think about it, don’t care. And I can relate to feeling like you’re the only one not hypnotized by it all. It’s good.
1:35 counting the number of times ppl blink is maddddd 🤣 Felt tho on the zoning out part
THANK YOU. When you’re present, really there...time slows down, too. Hella time. Thank you bud. Peace and stamina be with you 🌱🌞
Good stuff man. I'm definitely addicted to UA-cam/ entertainment as well. I was never on social media, but I did turn off the news last year and I've been very happy with the results. The world is always trying to get your attention with some crap that doesn't affect your life. It's better to be present in your situation and focus on changing your own life and helping others within your social circle.
This is quality, funny and smart
"I am noticing the beauty of human beings" That's a powerful statement. Thanks for sharing
Kudos for being able to limit/quit social media. For us older geezers, it's a lot easier since we didn't grow up with it. But as an older guy myself, it wouldn't be as easy for me to limit/quit UA-cam. A lot of us older folks also use UA-cam not only for entertainment purposes for for educational ones (**e.g. home/auto maintenance tutorials, news, etc.) It is easy for me to not get on Facebook, TikTok, IG, etc. because i've never been on those platforms to begin with.
Agree. And cos we are older i think we get a lot less/no fomo and have no problem not being part of the superficial conversations surrounding social media, trends or influencers.
I feel ya man. UA-cam is getting in the way of my life, but I don't want to quit it entirely. I need that time back.
I don't know what's more perfect, your tone of voice, what you're saying or your eyebrows
Right! Them eyebrows are slick, I'm almost jealous 😂
i actually like when im out of the loop!! people tell me things, and i feel that helps me connect more with people. they get excited to tell me, it creates bonds. I've also noticed how completely erratic some people's conversations are, how they randomly start humming some tiktok song. how did you go from talking about war to drake???
i feel like the best solution is keeping the social media to computer only. then you can still check it and see updates you’re interested in but you’re not consumed by scrolling mindlessly throughout your day
This is inspiring! I've tried to reduce my UA-cam intake, but maybe I need a cold-turkey approach.
I deleted social media as well. I’m currently working on UA-cam. Not deleting it completely but decreasing my screen time. Ever since I have done these changes I’ve notice an increase in my relationship with God, self-esteem, motivation and confidence. I’ve also noticed a positive change in my marriage and even in my husband’s screen time. It is a process but the more time goes by, the more you realize how much of a waste of time social media really is and how we are conditioned as a society to normalize being distracted. Keep it up 💪🏼
Love the video, your personality is funny and relatable. Right now I’m starting my journey on cutting off social media I keep UA-cam for educational videos such as yours, thank you for being open and honest keep making these please!
Thank you! & I hope you enjoy your journey
thats great, but be careful bro... i made the same decision to only keep youtube for "educational videos" but then i just wasted real life time i could use to be productive by watching educational videos thinking "yeah im being productive".
while youtube definitely has videos that will teach you useful stuff, but be careful not too watch too many videos when you don't need to.
I too was addicted to Shorts. It was so dumb but I couldn’t stop. I don’t think I even really liked 95% of the content but the addicted part in my brain was like, what if the next spin was a winner. There’s a crazy connection between gambling and Shorts. Still working on my UA-cam non-shorts consumption.
I found you from that video, and I love your sense of humor and your comedic timing etc. it’s so genuine and whole hearted!!! I definitely agree with everything you say, and when I try to explain it to other people and get them to quit social media they call me crazy. Like okay then stay addicted to the little box making noises
Amazing video! So much inspiration. Admiration from Brazil for you! Thank you for the amazing job. Keep gooing!💪🧠❤
Changing how you approach these apps really helps(in my experience). Instead off using UA-cam as a place to escape to because being alone with yourself for 5 minutes is too much i use UA-cam(through an adblocker) to actively search for information about subjects i am interested in.
UA-cam is a good place for that, no matter how niche the subject you’ll find someone who made a video about it. The difference between doing research on UA-cam versus through other means is that you can *see* people do stuff. And that connects well with our brains, as we all are still basically villagers deep down that learn best when somebody who knows what they’re talking about “sits you down” and explains it. Especially when you need practical knowledge and you don’t have people arround you to teach that learning through UA-cam can really work.
And in my experience just forcing yourself to stop using these apps might work but seeing how our modern worlds are almost build arround it it can be lonely or weird: try being the only one not on a phone during a multi hour train drive, you have no interaction because people aren’t interested in/scared off interaction. You’ll just be sitting there. Social media allows for that quick distraction that you don’t need to plan ahead for. So plan ahead. Take a book with you, or drawing supplies, or whatever.
In “ye olden days” people didn’t have phones but people rarely just sat there, staring. Keep in mind everything was more labor intensive and required more time(cooking now is just turning on the gas, not also having to collect firewood, start fire, keep it going, etc, etc…).
People usually had bags with them in which they carried little projects they could do when having downtime, like for example a drop spindle or small woodworking jobs like carving spoons or toys. Even up in my grandma’s day it was common to see a cluster of women just sitting outside, doing task while talking and gossiping.
That’s another factor: social interaction. Just because you are off it doesn’t mean others are, this can lead to it feeling like your the last human. Obviously this is not the case. You just have to find them. I help a neighbor who has bees, walked by his house and saw a small sign, rang the doorbell and bought some honey, we talked and now we keep in touch and we help eachother with things. If i was on my phone while walking I wouldn’t have seen that sign.
Alright, nobody is gonna read this because too long(how do you all even read ingredients on a package with this attention span!?) so I’m just gonna end here to stop wasting my time.
You inspire me to try this. I have a fear I will be out of touch of things or miss something because youtube is my main source of info/entertainment/news. But I have been saying to people I wanted to quit for a month to see what it is and I always struggle past 3 days. But I do sense it would bring a life shift. Not getting stuck in overconsuming.
not sure if you quit music or not, but in my case, if I did quit UA-cam, music would be my new vice. definitely not as distracting, but still something I’d indulge on. it’s seems apparent to me that the natural way of understanding the world is will never be in technology, but to go out in the world yourself and see what you can act upon and learn. whether it be from success and win, just be present in the world, and the opportunities will flow like water. thanks for this update, has really planted a seed that I’ll be sure to water!
Bro no! I can't imagine my life without music but what I will do is stop skipping to best part of songs also and cherry picking the songs I only play and start listening to whole tracks and albums to fix my anxiety and attention span wish me luck lol
@@pkersoulyou got it bro! one step at a time is all you need.
Bro, I'm on the exact same situation as you were in your first "delete my social media" video a few months ago. I quit my social media (Instagram) about a year ago and I thought I was doing great, but in reality I just replaced it with UA-cam shorts and videos, qnd I still waste more than half of my day in it. I feel like 24 hours a day is not enough for me to complete my tasks and goals. I know there are many productive things I should be doing to grow as a person, and I'm just procrastinating and watching UA-cam instead. I'm 25 now and I know this is the time for me to be doing things for myslef and not wasting my time in a senseless addiction.
Before watching this video I had uninstalled UA-cam several times, but I failed and installed it back. I guess my subconscious kept trying to trick me into thinking that UA-cam is not an addiction like Instagram, but now I'm fully aware that it is an addiction equally harmful as any other social media, and I'm also aware of the huge positive impact that I could have just by quitting like you already experienced.
Thanks for the reality check, you have no idea of how much you just helped me, or maybe you do. If I would've not tapped on your video, I would be scrolling for god knows how much time, but now I just made the decision of deleting UA-cam for ever, like I did with Instagram. Thanks brother and good luck!
I'm confident one day I can conquer UA-cam, thanks for giving your perspective.
You’re awesome! Kudos to you for going against the grain by being “out of the loop” compared to your friends. That’s kind of happened to me already because I stopped consuming the news about a year ago since it was causing me so much distress. I find other people mention big stories to me so I manage to still have an idea what’s going on. You’ve inspired me to delete my UA-cam app and go back to only watching it on the computer, which is what I used to do way back before I got a smartphone. It will be much easier to manage my time that way. Thank you so much for these videos!!!!
Thank you for your sacrifice.
Thank you so much because I have struggled with social media while growing up. I deleted Instagram and was later diagnosed with ADHD but I find myself a lot on UA-cam during covid and even now.
It started off with researching more about adhd and people experiences as well as listening to horror stories while I have time but it’s getting exhausting because I do the same thing everyday. I have to put more effort in managing life but unconsciously escape my life through UA-cam. It’s a struggle finding a way to cut back on UA-cam but I will try my best!
just discovered your channel and a lot of your videos are really getting me to think about my daily behaviors and mindset. keep inspiring me and others bro
damn your grooming is on point my guy
bro is pleasant to look at
I think I've fully decided I like ur channel. Hope you pop off. Ur quality is punching soooo far above your subscriber count.
Hey Eli, love seeing your progress between the initial quitting video and this one. I did the same, and had a lot of the same benefits! And awkwardness haha-- but something I did to stay productive and have something to do when out in public alone (like riding on the bus or in a waiting room) is read. Your phone is a hand-held kindle, so I use apple books-- there's lots of great free books too! Its the same excuse for watching youtube-- to learn something-- but doesn't feel harmful like social media.
Man I'm ngl since I was 15 I wanted to quit social media so bad so I can be productive but last 2 years I was addicted to Yt shorts.
This video made me realise I need to completely quit and get going.
I definitely needed this so I can finally start to spend my time on grinding and not on watching other people grind.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you for admitting that UA-cam is social media! Others make these "I quit social media" videos but it's inauthentic bc they still use UA-cam. I feel like I need to do this 😩.
I think that its awsome not knowing whats going with this or that it makes for good conversation for people. I find that Its alot more fun having people explain to me what the new dealy whap is then and people love jumping into telling you about it. Makes you seem like a good listener too.
I agree 100%. Another upside to not knowing what’s going on is that you get to be more at peace. I just found out yesterday that there was a rumor circulating around on social media about WW3, and the only way I found that out was through my friends. The whole time I’ve been at peace just living life, they were panicking because social media made them believe that WW3 was gonna happen the next day.
@@Eli.G12 Exactly!
You earned my subscription. Glad and sad to tell you I won't be watching any future videos though 🙏 thanks alot though I'll post an update if I relapse ( I won't)
Sold. Thanks for the update homie. Congrats on your future success. ❤
Yooo, ngl you should be like this channel. Your vibe is perfect
youŕe so funny! i loughed out loud many times and i never do when i'm alone. so thanks! great video :)
Yo my man you just stumbled upon some wild truth, all this quick and dirty entertainment is there to keep us occupied and not thinking about our problems, and most importantly their solutions
I'm 35. I've been on social media since Xanga when I was 16. So that's almost 20 years. I decided to deactivate and/or delete all of my accounts. For the first time in almost 20 years, I am social media free. Who am I without social media? I don't even know but I'm about to find out.
You are my inspiration! I am going to try to do this for a week.
Love this! ❤️ SO relatable!
Bro your subscribers are growing like cRaZyy rn. i came back to your video after like 10min , to see that you gained 20 subscribers.
+im a new subscriber :)
Thank you for these two videos. Sending to everyone and posting on fb lolol
Great video Eli!
"I am properly chewing." lol
“I am not swallowing my breakfast, I am properly chewing “ 😂
Your video has fully convinced me to delete these apps. I have been trying too and thinking about doing it for weeks now maybe even a month and thank you for your sincere and honest videos i appreciate it alot💯
Man so proud of you!!! I cut out socials but I’m definitely addicted to UA-cam. I have cut back a little but bit I need to cut back more.
I have been wanting to come off UA-cam for a long time. I only ever watch news or self improvement, cooking, exercise etc but I need to limit my time. Your video came at a good time. I didn't realise that my scattered thinking, brain fog even could possibly be linked.
You’re naturally funny. Love the videos 🤍
Thank you for this encouragement for all of us to cut back or cut out UA-cam. I was just wondering if you feel like you are learning less without UA-cam or not? Or do you go other places to keep educated? Thanks for everything!
I think intentionality is a key factor in that. If you are getting your education through youtube then you can set aside some time slots to watch that content purposefully. But I think the lack of intention is what causes these habits to become addictions
The amount of time being wasted scrolling absentmindedly isn't really learning though. Sure he's coming across random niches but not much is actually absorbed and not much is actually being learned. Current affairs can be learned about on news outlets or "intentionally" searching for that, if it's general knowledge you can watch documentaries or get a book like "a short history of nearly everything" similarly just go to a bookstore (or online) and browse the topics and choose something that peaks your interest. You can still "intentionally" search a topic to watch a video, but that's completely different to having 2 videos playing whilst reading the comments with a dude hopping around Minecraft. The problem is to not get distracted after watching that intentional video, it's so easy to jump down a different rabbit hole when the video finishes and you're recommended something else with a catchy thumbnail
This is super relatable i felt the same after i deleted all my long time social accounts. I feel like an outsider who is backdated from all trendy news.
But have to say after a year, all the problems like depression, anxiety and even that feeling of bipolarity went away and there was a lot less stress and things to worry about it seems
Man…I just watched your video about being addicted to YT and then immediately watched this one. I think you’ve convinced me to put the pipe down. No other social media site has me in a chokehold like this site here. And when you mentioned how long it took for you to eat breakfast because of scrolling between bites for vids - like SAME. Even while cooking it takes me longer. It’s just hard cause YT is legit my only form of entertainment, but I really need to let it go for a bit. Thanks for being my inspiration.
Edited to add: There’s other ways to keep up with what’s going on in the world. It just requires reading and searching for information rather than having it regurgitated to you 😊 And I subbed so after the break I’ll catch up on your vids lol.
No social media but UA-cam is such a big part of my life it’s hard to delete it off everything. I mostly use it for learning and and keeping up to date with my hobbies
Get books.
hope you're doing well brother. I gimped my phone a while back and it's been great, but like you I got all high and mighty before realzing I'm on UA-cam all the damn time. There's some good content out there but a lot of it is crap. I've heard that you retain more from reading vs watching, and most good content can be gotten from books, so that's what I plan on doing to fill that desire for learning more about things that are actually useful.
Also being out of the loop is a blessing. Most memes aren't funny unless you understand layers of internet humor and most news isn't relevant to you.
My boy forehead shinningg 😂. Good vid bro
Lmfaaaao, you already know bruh. That’s that good lotion 🤣🤣
Honest and relatable.
"Don't get of youtube, whos gonna watch my video" 😂 bruh I can't 😂
""yo man im like enlighted without dis shit now ... but you better keep watching dis shit fam" R.I.P :D
being out of the loop can be a blessing. 11 times out of 10 I don't care what's going on unless it directly affects me.
"I am not swallowing my breakfast,I am properly chewing"
😊
Proud of you man, I chucked UA-cam and social media for a year and still counting
I couldn't hear anything because i was distracted by your eyesbows 😢 why are they so perfect 😭 😩
Your video is the last thing Im going to watch. I also deleted IG and felt so ahead of the curve😅..but be watching productivity videos...on youtube. The irony. But I'm signing out and looking forward to being comfortable with these loud thoughts. Thanks for your video! I'll be back though, one day.
I don't have insta for the past 6 years lol...too addicting...
Lolll your humor is nice. Came to this vid after that initial one and I must say....😬 I'm definitely addicted to UA-cam as well. I can't brush my teeth, cook dinner, or even grab the mail without carrying UA-cam on my phone. Gotta challenge myself to reduce the use....
This is what I needed to finally quit UA-cam
Which I’ve really needed to do but have just made the same excuses that you mentioned
Thank you
You the man.
Good for ya! And, you're growing so fast, you had like, 1k yesterday, and 2k now!
This video came at the right time. I spend an obscene amount of hours on UA-cam and then hate myself for it like a crack addict. I need to give up UA-cam and sugar.
Bro, thank you for making this.
Thank you for the update! I'm starting my UA-cam detox... Thanks for the motivation!! Aloha from Hawaii 🤙
U got this maaan. And I’m in the position where you were 2 months ago: I deleted everything except youtube but despite all the good hopes an injury, 1 covid and 2 fevers blocked me at home and man it’s difficult to not become a zombie, even if i have just youtube, so what? Today I’m deleting chrome (cause that’s where i was using) and start really focusing for my exams and family ❤️ I already know I’ll live so good; words in your mind really have power when you believe in them. Good luck to every little champ from italy 🇮🇹 and thank you man for the little back i needed
