[@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-botton thanks brother, couldn’t ve posted it without your stamp of approval! Your opinion means a lot to me. Looking forward to grow old on KZbin together and show Benji B. the ropes. 😄😘🌊 new wave baby let’s fucking go

[@alex-boke]

What would you with more free time btw? 🤲🏼

[@alex-botton]

@@alex-boke honestly I’d spend more time making KZbin videos I want to make! But if it’s not screen time, more mountain biking, snowboarding, Moto riding, gravel biking, and of course film photography!

[@alex-botton]

@@alex-boke aw thanks man, I’m looking forward to that too! 😍

100% 🎉 it’s funny watching an 11minute video nowadays opposed to 100 10 second videos is more “normal” but I actually much preferred it. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@alex-boke]

it's easier than you think, give this brick a shot! Hide it in the forest or at the beach somewhere far enough. It totally works!
