Couldn't agree more. I deleted IG off my phone, and I found a good balance once a week where I'll actualyl check in on my desktop just to check messages from friends, which only takes me like 10 minutes. And then that's it. Rather than checking multiple times a day everyday.

Having social media is so hard for an artists. You need it to build up a following, a career, to be inspired and to keep on creating but at the same time you also doom scroll and it’s this constant depressing cycle where you don’t know if it’s worth it to leave or to stay because you need it and you want it

If you’re a creative and need social media for marketing/etc., maybe it’s time to separate your art accounts from your personal accounts? Many people I know benefitted from it. If you’ve already done this and still feel shitty about social media/don’t see your habits changing, it’s time to delete your social media and use it solely for business.

To solve what you're saying, Instagram decided to put strangers you don't follow in your home page. You'll see them unless you manually go to the homepage that only contains the people you follow. It's absolute nonsense, as if they want you to feel bad about your self.

I have been off all social media for over 2 years now, my only exception is youtube occasionally. It almost kills me to be around people who are constantly on their phones scrolling, it is what we have come to lol. But I have noticed so many improvements since then which is why I recommend everyone should try stay off social media too: - I have more time to do things I like and to look after myself (reading, studying, meeting people etc.) - I also don't feel disappointed with what I am doing in life anymore. Comparison with celebs or even mutuals is always the thief of joy. - No more fake stuff, in the real world it's all REAL! - I don't fall prey to pointless trends on social media or have the feeling of "missing out" on something. - I feel more authentic as a person, less like I am regurgitating things I saw online. Your video makes me feel less alone in being offline, so thank you!

I don't have any on my phone anymore but my computer has it and I will occasionally hop on for maybe a minute before realising theres no point. I also watch youtube, maybe because I'm still at school but I don't know.) and I feel all the stuff that you do. You would also feel the same way but I feel like without socials you see more of the world y'know? like on my school bus I like to look out the window and just think about life and I will sometimes see something cool or interesting and I'm usually one of the only ones who DO notice. I'm still struggling with some issues in this field and I honestly wouldn't mind if I did stop it all altogether (would video games count? I hope not, I love them.) I think it would make things better. I'd also love it if the world followed the same path but I don't really see that happening.

Ya just delete it. It doesn't matter. Most things people post online are pointless anyway and no number of restrictions ever kept me away from the endless scrolling and "relaxing" dopamine hits I would get when using the app. I finally made the decision to switch to a flip phone and delete my account. I don't feel like I am missing out on some random thing that seems important to invest time into just to seem relevant. It's quite ironic that we need some type of disconnection from our own reality to seem "relevant" in conversation. Also I agree that if the people you follow, you don't have their phone number, then what is the point. If you don't actually want to talk to them then why do you feel the need to follow them at all? Anyway, just wanted to rant, this was a great and very open video about the struggles of a weird reality that we created for ourselves.

I agree that building self-discipline and installing stricter social media "timeframes" makes you being so much more in control about this addiction. It gives you a sense of achieving something as well. However, it can be a real addiction - and being aware of this and deciding whether timeframes are effective or if stricter measures, like deleting apps, are neccessary is up to us to evaluate.

Two weeks before watching this video, I uninstalled Instagram, deactivated KZbin (uninstalling isn't an option on Android), and set my phone to greyscale. Not counting time spent on KZbin Music, which varies wildly depending on my daily activities, I went from 6-7h PER DAY on my phone to just 1h45 in the first week. This week, my average was 3h35 including YT Music, which probably amounts to about 2h, a slight increase but far better than before. This video only goes to reaffirm that making the changes I did were a step in the right direction, for my mental health and clarity, for my personal relationships, and for my free time spent doing more productive things than doom scrolling. Thank you.

I follow friends, family and event pages in my area to know what's going on in my city and it's SO incredibly helpful. For other social media apps, I deleted Twitter and only follow the things I'm interested in on Reddit (fitness, language/culture, food stuff and other hobbies.) It's cut my screen time in half. I am finding myself reading more, focusing on the shows I am watching instead of needing to have Netflix up + Insta or some other thing. Going outside more often and getting stuff done around my house instead of feeling like I'm physically unable to tear my eyes away from my phone. I'm more social because I see what my friends are posting more often and it makes me want to talk to them, I could go on and on. All in all my attention span is slowly returning, I'm not anxious when I'm not doing several things at once, and I feel SO much better.

I’ve noticed that overtime I would rack up on followers and just start following people who have interesting content and then later on do a large removal of unnecessary accounts. It’s gets annoying that they keep showing funny, creative and interesting things that appeals to me but trying to keep me on there for hours.

I'd be checking one reel and it'd ended up me watching countless reels for hours on end without me realizing bc I feel like I've been hypnotized. I have no time to spend on other things that are actually important because of doom scrolling. although now I'm trying not to delete it just bc of one feature and manage it better since I still need it to get updated on my friends' and love ones lives. so thank you for the helpful tips, it's comforting to know that I'm not alone :]

First Video I saw from you. The fact that my algorithm recommended this should make me think about my Instagram habits lol. Very well done Video. It was perfectly paced, I never felt bored throughout the Video. The tips in general were a little bit too radical for me, but a good starting point to create my own new habits. I really liked the Intro of you making a tea in jumpcuts while the music was playing and the title was showing. It really made me focus on the topic afterwards. Keep on going. I saw you getting like 30 subscribers overnight (In Europe) so keep on going!!🎉

Alright I have a similar take on this. So I follow celebs but surprisingly I don't feel sad that I don't live their lives so I have a slight different way of using social media. 1. Find out what accounts make you use Instagram depressed: It could even be a friend, or a ex-crush. So I have a friend that went to study at my dream university that I couldn't enter. Also following my ex-crush, same thing we are close but she posts Bout her relationships often 2. Use the mute function following them was a pain cuz I'd feel depressed that I was not as good. Even though I'm quite close to them I still chose to mute posts so I don't see her post about them and I generally feel better.
@tristansaucedoyt7 ай бұрын
yes i feel that. def there’s celebs who are way way better to follow than friends. it’s way more complicated than i expressed in the video but you’re doing the best thing which is thinking about what works for you

its crazy that this video got recommended to me since i decided to quit instagram in the beginning of the year and its almost over, my reason for quitting was that i realized when i went to shows, concerts, parties, get togethers and stuff i was always the one with their phone in their hand. Constantly recording or taking pictures then when i think back about how it went all i remember was just seeing it through my phone not even living my life anymore. Eventually i decided to ask my friends how they do it (where they dont post or some dont even have an account) where its not on their mind. some helped some didnt but i decided on just taking break for a week then before i knew it the week was over, then decided if i could go a week i could go a month which i did then turned into 2 to 3 to 4 to 5 months. i wont lie i did start posting again (like a grandpa as the video says) like once a month now so mainly only things i find interesting or experience no longer shit posting, sharing posts, memes. might not be for everyone but im glad it worked for me.

in my opinion, i think is just better to delete your account and app, you really don't need it, but i do miss something about it which is, i follow bands/artist to know about new music, tours etc. i've been a few months without social media, and being honest i have no friends so i don't really need any app to text people, just phone number texts.

Somehow I've done almost all of the tips you mentioned! I never understood the point in following celebrities, especially when all they do is post photos of themselves. I had a look at my feed and it's a mix of artists, bands I like, comic writers, and photographers, or shows I like etc. lol. It's a lot more interesting! But lately, I feel that my problem with Instagram is the timesink of Reels. Sending "funny stuff" to your friends seems to be this thing you're just expected to do?

You always come back to the point that you open the app when you’re bored. I wasn’t bored for a second the past 3 years, because I have hobbies that immensely take up time, for example gaming & dnd, making music (playing instruments), I’m writing on a fantasy novel, and of course things like meeting up with friends etc. take up quite some time. You can start a step earlier by not getting bored in the first place.. Boredom only exists because people don’t know what to do with themselves imo.

Also, Don't post too many stories or pics of yourself reasons being 1. Your privacy is not respected online, people can misuse them. 2. The anxiety related to validation from others will also greatly reduce. Next, do the same with all of your other social media platforms like X, snapchat, etc. My personal opinion is to delete snapchat account. You don't need to know what's going on in someone else’s life.
