Don't Delete Social Media... Do This Instead

[@rohanbidi]

One thing I can promise you is that when I purge my feed, your channel is staying. There are very few online sources which have as consistently added to value to my goals as your videos. Keep rocking it :)

[@odysseas__]

Really appreciate that, glad I survived it

[@AncientSteel]

Same here. Having ADHD I accumulated more than 300 KZbin channels in my subscriptions over time, and this one is one of about 30 or a few more that will have the right to stay.

I use youtube mainly, deleted fb and never entered insta or X . I have set 2 hrs of youtube in my smartphone, I download all the videos using wifi , available at work and library, next I watch only downloaded videos, I have scheme of limited cellular data per day , saves monet as well as time .

Your're doing such a nice thing! Now, I think I should stick to such an amazing idea. Thanks.

Really great video. A nice alternative to doing away with social media completely. I appreciate your clear step-by-step outline as well. Thanks for the advice!

[@odysseas__]

Much appreciated, thanks

[@ramyakannan7212]

I had intuitively started this, thank you for this video, doing this right away!! ✨

[@odysseas__]

Much appreciated, hope it works for you well

[@Lollimop13]

Added this video to my (newly created) “useful procrastination” list :)

[@odysseas__]

Great, very forward thinking

I'm afraid this doesn't work on Facebook, 4 out of 5 posts I see are from users or groups I am not actively following, it's just something the algorithm shows me because it thinks I might like it and these posts are often exceedingly dumb. The purge would require me not to just go through the list of things I am following and prune it (I did this a long time ago) but to click on most of the posts shown to me and hide/block/snooze that user. I don't have other social media but as far as I know, Instagram and Twitter also show you a lot of not followed content.

[@alakazam15]

By which I mean that I am afraid it's impossible to escape the dumb content.

[@tuzadam5555]

Great advice. I'm surprised why I haven't thought of this myself before. I've been using KZbin almost like this for years, and it never occurred to me that I could also do this on other platforms (like X and Instagram). Thank you for the video. Keep up the good work!

[@odysseas__]

You'll probably find the most helpful content on youtube, so at least there's that. All depends on who you follow. Thanks too!

[@ka-fa1500]

Recently i started to organize my actions on the internet like saving and followed things and i am picking one of my lists that i made for that day and for a day or maybe a couple of days of the week besides working i am also able to improve myself about the topics i have interests and learn new things. And at the end of the day i check couple of mins of social media and watch something before go to bed. I think this is a good balance between an actual working and using internet as a productively and entertaining. In that way i can have everything had done and dont missed a thing but of course for doing that it needs amounts of effort, discipline and dedication. It’s not easy but who said it will be easy right? :D

I have done this on rare occasions, I hate cleaning so much that sometimes I would study to avoid cleaning.

[@marcalexgrueso7094]

Thanks bro

[@odysseas__]

I appreciate it man

[@Boubaker_elbikam]

Wonderful content

[@odysseas__]

Thanks!

[@beepbobeep4594]

You film with your phone? Wow. Could I please ask what you use to edit your videos :)

[@odysseas__]

Yep, does a good job. Premiere Pro for editing

[@stylingtips8766]

Follow informative content. Thankyou very much👍

[@SLTYMILK]

I need to purge some accounts I follow hahaha

[@odysseas__]

Same, there's always those few that linger and you give it no second thought

[@poleve5409]

I use patched youtube with disabled youtube shorts which is nice

[@odysseas__]

Good idea

[@Supermikhail]

Does reddit fit this idea? Because on reddit you generally don't follow particular insightful people, you join communities, and even though my communities fit my interests, my feed is full of pointless, low-effort, copy-paste content.

[@odysseas__]

The idea is good, but as you say, it might fail in practice

[@vishnups6829]

Bruhh these social media apps like instagram are made in such a way that once you open it you just cannot stop scrolling.

[@odysseas__]

It takes a push sometimes, but it's possible

[@haroldbutts8754]

Just close the app bro

[@hananberjawi9627]

Idk but my problem with social media, especially instagram and tiktok, is that I keep consuming what people are doing, feeling some sense of jealousy and comparison the way you described in the multiple interests video, which led me to this video and then I hit the subscribe button :) so how do you think I can avoid that without deleting social media?

[@QuietHeart89]

Your suggestion is fair, but not today. Even a well thinked list of friends/pages/Channels is submerged by tons of useless sponsored pages or ads. KZbin is the most manegeble thanks to adds. Using most of socials is becoming more and more unfriendly for users

[@odysseas__]

That's a good point, especially since a lot of our feed is curated. Still, we can do our best.

[@DeniseSkidmore]

Another reason to get off Facebook, they've started showing all kinds of content you didn't follow now.

[@odysseas__]

Yeah I hate when apps do that

[@destine1547]

Amazing advice

[@odysseas__]

Thanks!

[@Vivek_Raj]

[@odysseas__]
