[@EllyAwesomeTech]

Content creation is my job so I’m in the same boat with social media addition. Every time I upload I get sucked into a scroll. It takes away so much of my time and time I could be putting into my creative process. I so resonate with everything you said. I have been glued to my phone the same way. But I realised, when I put my phone down even though I get FOMO from all the new info and news I feel so much better just walking in my garden or just being away from my phone. Smartphones are awesome little Swiss Army knives of technology but they were never meant to be a 24/7 distraction box. It’s wrong! And I am always putting off important things to scroll for the dopamine hit. I feel like a drug addict. This shit is wild! The post-scroll-guilt makes me miss my childhood, which is sad, coz I can still do everything I used to. I don’t read, play playstation, go to the beach, tinker, draw. I always loved that I had simple yet eclectic hobbies. I could do it all again if I just put the phone down. Oh, sidetone, I’m a technology reviewer and I keep getting ads for the Brick and I honestly wrote it off. Thought it was probably just a stupid gimmick. But I’m really convinced. Might have to try this out to help me get out of the loop! Anyway, this is one of the best videos I’ve seen on KZbin in a while. Excellent story telling but also amazing colour grading and love the different font styles (obsessed with the funky shaped text) and on-screen graphics! Thanks for putting in the work to bring this to us and I really hope you keep going with this. You are needed as a content creator, not content consumer! - Elly

[@alex-boke]

wow thank you for your message! Yes I need to keep going and not relapse into scrolling procrastination land. I need to make a part two about this subject, so much I wanted to cover but wanted to keep it short-ish... I also have tons of other ideas for videos. Thanks for watching!

[@theowlfromduolingo7982]

This makes you really think about the influence of your phone, tablet, computer, social media and the internet as a whole. Not only are we using technologies that are designed to make us addicted to consume mindlessly, damage our self image and waste a big portion of our time and therefore blocking the chance to self reflect at the moment and to work on your dreams and goals of your future self.

[@alex-boke]

@@theowlfromduolingo7982 for sure! What would you do with more time daily?

[@Wceruonie]

100% - I've never had an insane addiction to scrolling and social media but I notice it creeps a little still in unsuspecting places. I've always had an urge however, to be doing something, constantly, and it overwhelms me so much sometimes I end up scrolling to fill the gap, and just prevents me from getting important stuff done. But lately I've been working on my attention span and I also managed to narrow my focus to learning coding and practicing consistently which was something I've been trying to get deeper into for a few years now, and a few other things, which I am proud of. Its a form of detoxing for me I suppose.

[@alex-boke]

Yes! Doing things that requires full attention for a long period of time is the way to go. Excluding doom scrolling of course. You can actually feel like your brain is regenerating as opposed to rotting from scrolling hard. It feels so good to take a break from social media…grabbing a book instead of the phone. Thanks for watching! ❤

[@Jade.and.Thunder]

100% !! Your cinematography absolutely HITS. Everything from framing to colour grading, to music choice, is just fantastic - and the content itself is deeply wholesome. I really connected to it. My partner and I are about to start our own channel, and we are feeling really inspired by your work of art here. Thank you for the work you put in to share such a special video, and looking forward to seeing more from you soon :) Love from Aotearoa - Thunder

[@robinthesky6728]

excellent thumbnail grabbed my attention. and then this amazing video, really well done. powerful message too. the part about reaching the top of the mountain but then not needing to scroll because of the dopamine you received from the activity is actually really good metaphor

[@alex-boke]

@@robinthesky6728 dope! I wasn’t sure if it was clear enough, made sense to me but you’re the first one to underline it! It’s kinda doubling down on the trapping the addiction, it totally worked! Now I need to find a new spot to hide it this winter. Thank you so much for watching!

[@alex-boke]

thank you! I wasn't sure if that part was clear enough, I'm glad you caught it! It's true, nature is the best place to hide the brick, especially if you need to sweat your toxins to get to it! Now I gotta find a new spot for the snowy winter to come soon. Thanks for watching!

[@WildeAboutOscar]

Wow, I have to say that this is one of the best videos I have ever watched on KZbin; the cinematography is simply unreal. This channel is certainly going to blow up and I'll be happy to say I was one of its first 1000 subscribers. This is a very pertinent issue nowadays, especially, and most worryingly, amongst people my age, but I am happy to say that I overcame it with a little help from Nietzsche. Greetings from Ireland!

[@alex-boke]

@@WildeAboutOscar interesting, which book in particular? I loved him when I was a teenager, should read him again, forgot everything from social media brain rot I guess. Thanks so much for the kind words! ❤️🫡🫶🏼 welcome to my channel!

[@WildeAboutOscar]

@@alex-boke 'Beyond Good and Evil' had a huge effect on me as it was the first book of his I read. Parts of the 'Gay Science' and much of 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra' were also very enlightening in regard to overcoming time wastage online. Camus, Heidegger, Sartre and Dostoevsky were also helpful, but Nietzsche is the best.

[@alex-boke]

@@WildeAboutOscar Sweet thanks! I love Camus too, I need to reread some of his too! Thanks for the reminder!

[@mizza8126]

100% My problem is with the speed of things, spent years watching every single yt video at 2x speed and didn’t even notice how bad was my attention spam. I remember playing ark and having on my phone videos playing at 1.5 times the speed and have been trying to unfck my brain for some days ( only started like a week ago). All this to say that since then this is the first video I didn’t even notice the time passing, I was just paying attention to every single word you said. Congrats on this video, I’m subscribing to you immediately. Loved your storytelling and your video as a whole. Hoping you are happy with the comments and that yt shows this to the most amount of people. Keep up the good work.

[@alex-boke]

Oh yeah I never watch thing sped up, it just feels unnatural to me and give me anxiety 😬 I’m glad to hear that you’re on a journey back to normal speed of things. Life isn’t a rat race like everyone is telling us. It’s important to slow down and let our brains rest. We’re not designed to ingest this much information daily. We like to think we’re extremely smart creatures that can retain information like sponges, but we’re not. It takes a lot of intentions and attention to retain anything. Thank you for your kinds words! See you in the next videos! ❤

[@TyroneLT]

100% Great video man. The visuals and story telling go together perfectly! As for your question at the end of the video, I nearly lost my life 6 years ago and had a lot of time to myself to recover. For my first month in the hospital I didn’t have my phone with me. I realized how important it was to face reality, be alone with my intrusive thoughts and the face the fears i had while I was there. As I recovered and gained back my phone, I realized that mindless scrolling didn’t lead to me feeling better. So since then I block off the first hour in the morning for prayer and exercise. And the last couple hours of the day for reading, journaling or spending time with my wife. In between while I don’t have that brick device, I do block addictive apps which allows me to focus on work. Cheers to you for this video. You’ve gained a sub from me!

[@alex-boke]

@@TyroneLT thanks so much for the kind words and opening up. Yes life is fragile and we can take it for granted. Doomscrolling is an addiction wasting life away and we should be talking about it more and more, keeping each other accountable.

This editing is so addicting (pun not intended), I love it

@@DuccMC haha 😆 nice one! It’ll be a slow burn addiction then…takes a long time to make an edit like this one. 🤪 thanks so much for watching!

[@BaltazarQc]

100% Merci pour ce vidéo! Avec des enfants qui commencent a être sous l'emprise de ce démon, il me manque encore le courage de donner l'exemple pour le combattre. Ton vidéo m'émeut et il me donne espoir de trouver la force de vivre comme avant, comme au temps où l'on était plus proche des gens tout en restant plus loin du téléphone! J'apprécie vraiment le coté artistique de ton oeuvre, le coeur et la passion que tu sembles y avoir mis, c'est très inspirant et ca donne espoir! Pour ma part, je manque de temps, le soir je suis vidé du travaille de la journée (informatique => vide mental) et quand les enfants sont finalement couchés vers 21h parfois, c'est youtube et rien d'autre. Mon cellulaire c'est moins pire que d'autre, mais on a tous ce démons qui porte un masque différent. Avec ce temps reconquit, je pense que pourrait planifier mes parties de jeux de role, lire, jouer de la basse, faire du ménage dans ma tête et ma maison, prendre des marches, faire plus de vélo... être plus productif dans mon emplois et avoir les idées plus claires!

[@alex-boke]

Wow! merci pour le long message! C'est vraiment touchant. Ouais je suis tomber sur un video sur youtube qui demandais le "screentime" du monde aleatoir qui passait en avant de la camera, et ce que le monde disait...ca l'avait aucun sens! Passer 7hrs par jour sur tiktok a regarder des videos de moins de 30secs, ca peut pas bon pour la cervelle! Donc jme suis mis en mode recherche et tomber sur le gadget Brick...et ça l'a vraiment changer ma vie quand jai trouver le truc de le cacher en haut dla montagne! Jte jure en 3-4 jours jme sentais deja mieux, comme si mon cerveau se regenerait tout seul, comme un firmware update. En tout cas, très content que tu ailles trouvé mon video et mon channel! A+

100% Killer YT debut dude. I’ve been using my own Brick a lot more lately, thanks for hooking me up. Get me on the crew for the next vid!

[@alex-boke]

@@thomaswilson3271 💯 will hit you up fo sho! What have been doing with your bricked time?

[@thomaswilson3271]

⁠@@alex-bokeMight not sound like the point but I’ve been working more! Getting distracted at work was a huge issue and since using this I’m getting more done and I’m more consistent than ever.

[@quinntexaudition]

100%. Your storytelling and high quality production values just drew me right in. So impressed, man! Anyone can have really nice equipment, but it takes this type of talent and passion to make those tools deliver! May I ask, what camera did you shoot this on? It looks so much like film stock.

[@alex-boke]

Thank you! You can create images like this with any camera capable to shoot 4K 10bit. Color grading is where magic happens. I shot most of it on canon, except for a few shots on blackmagic. (Canon R6ii and BMPCC6kpro) I will upload some colour grading videos in the future. Stay tuned. 🙏🏼📦🦾💕

This was stellar dude! Great work!
