So I found a way around quitting social media. I spoke mostly about KZbin, but every tactic mentioned in this video can be applied to any social media app.

Another tip that I do is only watch content from the channels I subscribe to. When I find a new video from a subbed channel I'll add it to my watch later. Then when I'm bored I'll watch videos only from my watch later playlist and actively avoid the recommended page. This is what helps keep me from continually scrolling. Finally review the channels you're subbed to, if the channel is trash then remove it from your subs.

I'm the opposite. I don't watch anything on my phone and I dont watch shorts. I'm addicted to long form content and I'll watch hours of videos from KZbin on my laptop. Knowing I have stuff to get done and still watch videos for hours, wasting so much time. It's bad...

I caught myself watching divisive content and getting more of it in my feed so to regulate that diet, I hit “don’t recommend this channel” to anything not lifting me up, bringing more life into my life. I now have a feed of uplifting, inspiring and informing positive life affirming God stuff.

Thank you for the advice! I’ve been struggling with social media addiction a lot. Deleted everything besides KZbin and telegram long time ago, but watching KZbin just replaced a lot of that time I’ve spent on other social medias, so time wise it wasn’t much of an improvement

Not me listening to your advice like you my big brother or smth 😂 i saw your previous videos and chose to remove myself from constant noise from socials. I've seen many similar videos before but something about the way you talk made me listen to you. The others talk like some kinda experts you feel like a real human.

New sub. I appreciate how you just speak seriously but plainly.... Like calling us crackheads. It's hilarious because it's true but it helps to reinforce the point. I got caught up with the doom scrolling YT vids this morning and just when I was about to go do something else I rememberes seeing a thumbnail to your "i quit all social media and got addicted to youtube" video. I thought, "That's me. One more then and I'm out." Three of your videos later and now I'm finally going to go wash these damn dishes 😅

Thank you for sharing this video. I'm kind of in the same boat, get looped into shorts and the night is gone. Honestly I think I was better off when my data was capped at 8 gigs/month. I was more judicious of what exactly I was watching, and was just as likely to download a book. If I needed more internet, I was off to the gym or the library. Those aren't bad places to be, so I kept that structure and never went to an unlimited plan -- until the lockdowns.

Best thing to do is treat your cell like it is what it is, which means it's a phone not a computer. I allow only 30 minutes a day on yt and it is for learning something that I just learn, and if there is 5 minutes left then I may watch another educational videos. I am getting so much done and not foggy and have peace. I don't do short any more at all. 1 hour of bs is too long for me, i can do a 30 minute lunch date for that. 🤣

@daytonode 7 ай бұрын

I mainly find short form content like shorts addicting. Getting rid of music is extreme, I think you may be going about this the wrong way.

@tulipssssssss 7 ай бұрын

@daytonode my experince with it has been quite negative. music is supposed to make your mood better, but it has more harm than good. In the moment when u listen to it, you're quite lost in it and not here, makes u feel good in the moment but afterwards your mood is affected by the thing you listened to and can determine the direction of your day. What you listen to matters, the message it's convening when u listen to it over again its being embeded in your brain much like a subliminal message. in short, its bad both for now and in the long term. Also much similar to scrolling, it also gives you dopamine spikes and theres research on how music is addictive and i think its not something u should let yourself be controlled with. if you listen to it way less than you're the one in control. Besides that, music we listen to nowdays has 440hz which is very bad for you as opposed to 432hz which makes u feel calmer, same in any video. And even if you don't listen to music, it's everywhere in public transport, in videos playing in the background, or neighbors playing it so youre still listening to it. I just see the frustration these things produce in people. and i think this man is doing a great job I saw his recent videos he quit social media and youtube and thats quite impressive having that much self control and patience. Really great job! not many people realize these things. and i know it might be extreme to quit everything completely and u should have things that actually make u happy.

@dayvid7386 7 ай бұрын

I find that music helps kill the background thoughts and distractions when i'm working or doing involved yet mundane tasks like organizing and cleaning. Outside of work, I feel like music reduces my brain capacity as if it stops me from being more productive on tasks that require my creative input, even for simple tasks like planning my errands for the day. i prefer podcasts and youtube over music for working out or driving because i feel more productive and less driven or directed by the emotion or feel of the song i'm listening to.

@lizgal2426 5 ай бұрын

No need to report I think, I hate shorts so I just say I don't like them or click on the X that takes all the shorts away, and youtube suggests less and less and I hope one day none. it does very bad things to your attention span to watch that, I try to keep away

Bro I’m sorry but I’m not just going to take you at your word for thinking the shorts will disappear if I report them enough. You took that from a viewer’s recommendation too like nah, that’s somebody’s content I’m not just throwing stray reports at. If someone can provide me with valid evidence this works I’d be willing but no chance I just do that off rip The real way to do this is to get an altered KZbin app like Vanced or something where you can disable the shorts from showing up at all. Or just find the will power to scroll past and have self discipline (which I struggle with greatly)
