Is TikTok Rotting Your Brain? | How To Quit Social Meda

[@JasonLopezII]

Off topic but can we just appreciate the editor's work on these videos?

[@darriendastar3941]

It was superdooper great! I especially loved the cut from Tobey Maguire to Benny - but the rest of it was brilliant, too.

[@mrharmless297]

Yea they do great I forgot there names

[@BennyHasAProblem]

@darriendastar3941 I'm so happy someone noticed this lol. Thanks for the compliments. - Editor Alex

[@BennyHasAProblem]

@mrharmless297 Right now, it is Kevin and Myself (Alex).

[@dren545]

Benny is too underrated for what he does this channel has me dying every video

[@comicstorian]

Thank you!

To help with my anxiety 3 months ago I basically went off of all social medias, besides youtube. I suffer from severe OCD. I do keep the 3 I was on FB, Insta, X for family stuff or some crazy breaking news, but still my usage is less than 5 minutes a week. I didn’t have an addiction so there was no dopamine rush about Benny, but I relate to the lack of desire to want to be on social media. I just don’t have it and not to exaggerate, but I feel liberated. I had “fasted” from social media for Lent many times and that helped me know my life was fine without it, but doing it “full time” has really been great for me. I liked this video bc it wasn’t some scientific researched vid, but more just a testimony. I now enjoy just chilling in downtime, I feel more connected to the world than with these apps meant to connect you.

[@DeeJay_VII]

I could be wrong but I feel like Benny genuinely enjoys making these vid way more than he does the vids on his other channels

[@comicstorian]

Yes and No, Im a research addict. So having a place to just rant about the stuff I discovered has been a blast, also I dont need it to fit into a box. I can talk ab out anything, not worry about it being comics or manga related

[@darriendastar3941]

@@comicstorian I like these videos because it's like sitting in the pub with someone who's onto his/her second pint and actually has something interesting to say - and can back up what they say with a coherent argument. I'm in the UK and only watch the 'Benny Has a Problem' vids after 7pm when I can legitimately have a glass of wine in my hand.

[@NickeyWilson316]

Bennys got the bruce banner rist watch 6 hours since incident lol

[@YY_White_Nova]

I am jamming to this background music at the bus stop.🎉🎉

[@JeannieLove]

Fortunately I don't use Twitter all that much and I haven't touched Facebook in over a year The social media I use is Twitch and Discord. It's also gotten to the point where I laugh more than I get any when someone hate replies to KZbin comment I made.

[@candycrusher1137]

This video was created for this channel because in this video you admit you have a problem, and what is the channel called

[@jackjuvenile938]

I really enjoy these videos, thank you for sharing

[@Marx1684]

Before going in I will say I only have KZbin & I consider this more entertainment than social media. I do chat a bit. I have Discord but it’s a bit much & there is usually a weird hierarchy that inflates egos at times. I’d say I don’t use the one’s that aren’t really centered around the entertainment I consume. I wouldn’t come here for chats & don’t argue here.

[@KingsNJenssons]

Personally I class something as social media if you're getting media out of it. I feel like you just texting someone like SMS that wouldn't be so social media that's just social but being in a discord server what is basically a real time forum page would class as media especially if you look at the meme page a lot. I class KZbin as social media because it's a media people create stuff for and others socialise around it

[@Marx1684]

@@KingsNJenssons I use it more for media. My comments are time stamped for the creative teams. People just speak to me here. I don’t mind if it isn’t nasty but I’m not here for the social aspect. I didn’t have notifications on & stop them when folks get heavy.

[@thatgreenguy9657]

This is a great analysis of it. as a whole i have noticed my own apprehensions when it comes to the topic but never want to come off old and crotchety (im only 27) but i do see some of the negative aspects of over reliance/indulgence and try to avoid those. not trying to necessarily Yt plug, but i make content of my own personal help/ advice in the hopes of some of my personal experiences giving people a new or different views than normal and this video has helped me focus some of my own thougts on the matter so thank you. As a follower of comicstorian, and now this channel i want to say i have nothing but respect and adoration for the content you make. in the futre i may make my own video similar to this but just wanted to pay credit where credit is due and not have it turn into some im stealing content or ideas rumor . So i felt like i should voice that. awesome video

[@FusionKush]

All i need is youtube. Screw other platforms. I use to be on facebook alot but it got toxic and all i see is negative hateful comments. It was just a repeat posted everytime. I deleted that app years ago around 2019. Right after covid. I do be on youtube but i prefer to play games or hangout with family and friends. Especially, my ex. I prefer to spend time with them. Social media is just negative imo. I prefer to interact with real people instead of being on facebook or whatever platform they use now a days.

[@jackovoltraids5937]

That's funny. I've been doing that for awhile. I have a spare device I use for games and perusing apps.

[@Marx1684]

6:35 Nope. Just check for content based on what I need. Laughs & music for uppers. Comics & other thought vids for food while moving through stuff that doesn’t require heavy attention unless eyes are required.

[@shubhpatel619]

I too am addicted to meda

[@Marx1684]

8:48 I’d probably enjoy Reddit but that’s a social that would have me looking for things that could make me feel a way. It’s really about creating your own healthy mental diet. 9:40 I no longer suffer from fomo. I do need all Cream Crew Team content. They make me laugh since the first episode on all channels.

[@DunjeeTime]

For myself, I removed myself from any "social media" that deliberately bombards me with unwanted pages and news. Things like Snapchat and discord are ok with me because someone has to actively post a news story and I can choose to ignore it. Admittedly, this is made easier by the fact that I'm only on two discord servers and they're full of people that don't really post a lot of news stuff

[@cheetor8602]

Cool vid. Hey Benny can you make a video on your ADHD and how you handle it? I was just recently diagnosed so be cool to see how others live with this

[@BennyHasAProblem]

Actually I love that idea, won't be soon though we have 3 videos being edited already. But yes sounds greay

[@DourdenAdam]

Now I want to know what books benny reads...

[@bossbradley]

I just put a timer on my social media, about two hours a day.

[@valrath84]

youtube is all i use mainly cause reddit was starting to affect my mental health in a negative way

[@mikerosoft2179]

Essentially the solution is compartmentalization?

[@Jon7763]

if i use a social media platform (such as discord) to only talk to people i've actually meet in the flesh and people I have an actual IRL history with, I don't consider that Social MediaTM, its more like I'm using an evil infrastructure for good. But yeah, I probably do have a youtube addiction.

[@Christheonetruechris]

Try job hunting without social media. I'd love to only have a old school home phone. It's impossible.

[@oteris2924]

Outside of KZbin(a entertainment platform) I don't use social media. Not Facebook, twitter, tiktok, not instagram. I've never understood the appeal.

[@Soundwavesam79]

I’d love to know your thoughts on trolls and how you deal with them

[@BennyHasAProblem]

I generally just ignore them. Sure the words are hurtful, but I'll never see, or meet those people and none of them have the balls to say anything to my face. So as far as Im concerned, its just hopeless people trying to get me to reply.

[@KingsNJenssons]

So by bennies logic SMS is social media

[@General_Klytus]

Sup Benny!!

[@BennyHasAProblem]

Sup

[@Marx1684]

If the content is interesting enough & the comment isn’t pure trash directed to someone who in no way contributed to the video (me) I’ll have a little fun.

[@DaYapGuy]

Bruh, you made 4 comments 😂

[@fragileparadox8658]

5k subs is criminal 😂

[@JodyGoChase]

Managing over your social media outtake is important, alright, but what’s arguably more important is managing yourself. The main issue that we get angry, we get mad at stuff we see. What we gotta do is ask ourselves, why. Ask ourselves that question every time we get mad and eventually connect the dots, find the reason and take care of it

[@happyjoyjoy6976]

your comment is awesome and true my friend. much love and have a wonderful evening 🤗

[@mrharmless297]

I’m about to delete instagram snap chat and Facebook I’ve already deleted tiktok
