This is actually a well-informed and balanced take, I can see that you have a lot of experience. I was planning to make a video about the squatting problem, particularly for foreigners looking to buy a house in Spain, who often have a really rosy picture of Spain as some kind of sunny paradise

Thanks for your comment. One thing I notice about globalization is that you tend to see the same kind of trendy shops and chains everywhere and other things that are often referred to as ''hipster'' or ''yuppy'' by people who are against it. I actually like, for example, being able to eat Korean food or actually good Italian food in Spain whereas in the past it would be really hard to find anything else but the local cuisine, which is of course great but people from more ''cosmopolitan'' places are used to a greater diversity of options. I'm from a country where Asian food has been really common for decades. But the downside about this aspect of globalization is that a lot of places in the world just feel increasingly similar. Whether you go to Prague or Athens, it's just increasingly kinda the same vibe. This is actually logical considering how globalization works. But I think it's good to also have some attention for the less than rosy sides of it - and in this comment I'm actually discussing a rather innocent part of it. The wealthy expats pushing locals out of cities part, for example, is a lot less innocent.

Sure, I recognized in the video that the money people bring in is a positive factor, but I also wonder who gets to profit from that and who doesn't. I sincerely hope it's a general positive effect for the local economy as a whole but it's perfectly possible that for some people, like relatively poor people who no longer have access to affordable housing, the net effect may well be negative, or even outright terrible. In fact, I just read an article about Lisbon (Portugal) where they mention a popular part of town where over 70% of homes are now rented out on Airbnb. That sounds like a bad trend to me. This is what I mean with rising prices and locals being pushed out due to tourism and/or the presence of digital nomads. Apart from that, I would agree with your comment that it would be good for locals to anticipate certain trends financially and profit from it if possible.

Yes. I think in the free version you can, but only permanently (so, not scheduled blocks). For the full features you need the Pro version but it's a one-time payment and quite reasonable (I think 30 dollars or so). I'm not sponsored to say this, but this tool has greatly improved my life and it's the best purchase I've ever made.

Thank you, I similarly got tired of all the fake people on KZbin just copying each other and mostly doing it for the money. Actually both those things are fine but it's not my style and I don't want to watch the same kind of clickbait videos over and over. Your comment motivates me to keep going

Glad it was helpful!

I think you understood the essence, well done

If this is still a problem, try uninstalling the program from PC settings - Apps and then loading the installation file again. Also, make sure you get the file from the official website, and nowhere else.

Yeah it shows you lists of suggestions, like a pre-made filter, for example for Adult websites

Yeah. That's pretty much the entire point of the program. I think you can do this with the free version as well. Scheduled blocking is a different function and it requires the pro version (one-time payment, I'm not sponsored)

As long as you're on PC or MacOS (so, not on mobile), yes, then it's much better than Freedom. CTB is not available on mobile so I would recommend Freedom or if you're on Android look up the app Lock me Out

Yeah I am going to try to run an Android emulator to show the process

Is it working for you? Let me know. I can provide tips if needed

@@HolisticSelf-Improvement working great so far thanks

Happy 4 u

Look at the Import option when you make a new block type, and look for the adult list. There are also other ways but they may require Pro (one-time payment). I'm not the developer and not sponsored either, just saying that Pro has more options

Change the aplications source to only microsoft and block setting and microsoft store

Did it help?

​@@HolisticSelf-Improvement Yes absolutely! Cold Turkey Blocker has been a game changer for me, I now recommend it to anyone who will listen lol I had it installed for some time, but your video helped me get over that small hump of not using it because it was overwhelming so thank you!

Hope it helps, brother

I don't understand your comment, can you rephrase?

I will upload it soon, I'm now on a long trip without my webcam but I will see whether I can make it work without my normal gear

I will post part 3 next week

Yes, create a separate website blocking filter, add the desired sites you want to block to that filter, and then you can always turn on that filter at will and then lock you out of it totally for a desired amount of time. You can also use ''Frozen Turkey'' to block your computer alltogether. IF YOU WANT ME TO GUIDE YOU THROUGH THIS IN A VIDEO, give me some examples of sites, and I will record a video for you and post it here. It will be a public video, so don't give me any private information. If you reply here, I WILL honor your request and make the video.

thank you for your comment, it's quite motivating to get comments like this and I can feel passion burning when I see guys with the issues that I used to have, guys that feel stuck while they could actually be living a great life. I was actually thinking of recording a part 2 real soon. I have been in the situation you describe, the best thing you can do is lockdown your phone and computer with anti-porn measures. STEP 1: If you have 5 bucks a month (or so, not sure about the current price) to spend, and if you have an Android phone, get a subscription for Detoxify, a porn-blocking VPN that will completely block you out of using porn sites and even grey-area sites like reddit if you want. If you have iOS, use Freedom instead (also a paid subscription I think) and enable the porn filters they offer. Detoxify is also available for windows and macOS (the system for apple laptops and desktops). I don't not know about BlockerX, please do a Google search to see how it can be configured to block porn instead of only social media. For Windows, download Cold Turkey Blocker, use the pre-set filter for porn websites. If you have any questions, come back to me. STEP 2: go look up EasyPeasy Method To Quitting Porn. It's a free e-book and audiobook. I have an interview on my channel with the writer of it. don't be shy to come back here and report on your progress. I cannot directly change your habits, only you can (or a licensed psychologist) but I can at least offer you some guidance

Thanks for your comment! It's absolutely worth the purchase, a one-time payment (not a stupid subscription) and you get all the features that makes it a life-saving program. With the premium version you can also block programs (or apps like you call them), not just websites. I was just thinking of making a video where I block an editing program as an example, because yesterday I spent too much time on a video project for another channel without taking a break and it isn't good for me, so I use CTB to help me... and anyway, I always block the whole internet every night at 9 so that I get to do some other things. Life is so much better when you take control over the internet instead of living the other way around. Blocking specific channels on KZbin depends, you can block a channel page but you could still find their videos through the search function if you wanted to. But then you can temporarily also block the search function. Or KZbin altogether. There are so many options. If you have any doubts, just leave a comment on one of my videos and I'll help you out. I've found ways to bypass the program throughout time but right now I haven't really got a single one left. It's excellent software, really

de nada amigo/a

This motivates me to continue with the series. It also helps if you subscribe. I am tired of having to share my videos on Reddit (simply to get more than 5 views literally, there is no other way) where mods really don't like seeing youtube content, even if it's original, it's just awkward as hell to post there.

Thanks! Will post soon

If we take Facebook as an example, I use Ublock Origin's element picker mode to hide the news feed part of it. You cannot do that with Cold Turkey Blocker, but you CAN use Cold Turkey Blocker to block Facebook for certain parts of the day. I use both these strategies. If you want help ''taming'' KZbin, try the add-on DF KZbin (Distraction Free). It allows you to easily customize what parts of the site you want to block. I block the feed, and related videos, and usually the comments as well. Then, I also use Ublock Origin to block small elements that I don't want to see, such as the amount of likes. I've always wanted to make a video about the DF KZbin add-on, I probably should do that soon.

Hello! Thanks for the feedback, I am happy to see that this tutorial is useful to at least someone out there, were you able to set up the rest of the program as well? I haven't really made a part 3 yet.

Bro, I am not sure if I understand your comment, can you please elaborate? Do you want to learn how to code? Then using these blocking programs will certainly help you focus and concentrate, because you can kick distractions out of the door, and force yourself to ''do the work''. Also, are you using Freecodecamp? That is the best way to go if you want to learn web dev

I cannot stress that enough, brother, I am grateful every fucking day that this tool exists because it gives a lot of structure to my life, and I can get so much work done because CTB tames the damn internet from an absolute monster into something beautiful that is there to serve us. Best fucking tool in the world

@@HolisticSelf-Improvement CTB?

@@HolisticSelf-Improvement ah nvm I got it XD

More to come! In the meantime, just try experimenting a bit with it. Often, that's how you learn things... just practicing, playing around with it, even making some mistakes sometimes....

lol... did you do that because you dislike p0rn or for other reasons?

@@HolisticSelf-Improvement well it's hard to dislike porn but yes.. I don't like a third party. It's just the two of us, we can make it.if we try, just the two of us, you and I..

thanks for your reply, criticism is also welcome. Some people can definitely do both, but a lot of guys develop addiction and cannot just watch pr*n ''sometimes'' because it constantly thwarts their attempts to improve their life. For a lot of people, going cold turkey is the only cure. I had a phase in my life when I could sometimes watch prr*n (that was pretty vanilla stuff) just for getting off and then i just went on with my life. It became worse later down the road. In this video I mentioned that not everybody suffers from this stuff equally. However, due to natural desensitization and the addictive nature of the pronzz in the first place, a lot of people do eventually go astray

@weltuntergangsbote BTW I also think that these videos or certain subreddits and forums are generally aimed at people who already understand they have some kind of problem with an addictive substance like pr0n, or want to change something about their lifestyle. If you're perfectly happy doing what you're doing, you don't really need the videos either. I personally really recommend to not use porn for many reasons, and that's why I like spreading the message, but ultimately people will make their own choices anyway...

Glad you enjoyed

Cold Turkey Blocker is not available on iPhone. I would suggest you use Freedom, or the new Screen Time app to manage your, well, screen time. That would be your best bet. I have an iPad so I might consider making a tutorial for it. Thanks for the idea.

Thanks, I hope the program helps

Thanks for the compliment my friend. Are you Indian? I love India

yes brother@@HolisticSelf-Improvement

You've understood the essence!

Freedom.

App blocker is the best. It has a strict mode that prevents you from disabling the block on websites and apps with a timer. For $5 a month you can block unlimited websites and apps and extend the timer for literally forever and even block yourself from uninstalling. For $5 a month I'd say it's worth it. But I'm really struggling to find something similar for laptop. I have the extensions and I blocked the disable extension on Chrome but on other browsers I can still disable it, making it useless. The one I wanna try is this cold turkey one which I hope I can work as it seems to work similarly to app blocker

If you have android, Lock Me Out is great.
