Social media's purpose became a de facto. It was supposed to connect us with family and friends, but it became an entertainment platform that destroys human interaction.

How has it become a "de facto" when it's doing the same exact thing that it was meant to do? You can't just blame your own social inadequacies on social media and blantantly make such bold claims that it's not doing what it was intended to do. People have social conflicts regardless of the medium through which it occurs. Stop blaminging technology and its advancements on the faults of human behavior and social norms.

[@yourlifeisagreatstory]

I’ve become closer in a way to family and friends because of Facebook. There are family members I never kept close contact with, now I know what’s going on in their life (ie kids, work, and general events) I otherwise wouldn’t have a clue with if not for FB. Same thing goes for my friends; we all have our own busy life’s and it’s not like I would be talking with them on a daily basis or getting pics sent of their kids. FB allows a connection that would otherwise be missed. It’s not being a bad friend/family member, it’s just what it is in our busy life. It’s how you use it that makes it something bad or good.

DJay it’s one take right? Then in post he tightens up or zooms or jump cuts. He is the master and he is where all of us learn from.

[@jay_mp4]

@@fails_on_the_regular I was more talking about where he's mod. the glasses When he made the box fall for example

[@omgurheadsgone]

Jason & Daunte Parrillo I doubt its one take. That would make editing a nightmare, he gets the shot composed, presses record, gets the shot, then presses stop. Then moves the camera to get the next shot composed, presses record, gets shot, presses stop etc etc.

[@jay_mp4]

@@omgurheadsgone this is exactly what I meant

[@omgurheadsgone]

DJay yeah, making a cinematic video requires a lot of shot variance, using a mixture of wide, mid and zoom shots, and it’s much more appealing to watch. I was responding to the person asking if Casey does it all in one take and just moves the camera around and does zoom all while filming one take and then edits all the stuff in between shots out after, which I highly highly doubt. Never heard of anyone shooting like that lol. + there are times he for sure he to be swapping lenses from his ultra wide to at least a 50mm or 85mm you can just tell by the framing and composure/bokeh of some shots that wouldn’t be possible with an ultra wide, no matter how close you get to the object because of how ultra sides distort the image and lack the ability to get a shallow depth of field.

I've never used Twitter and have stopped using Facebook over the last two years. I still use Instagram fairly regularly but I tend to be conscious of it, especially in social settings. I'm 30 and my peers tend to be heavily involved with their phones at all times. I think you are the perfect person to start encouraging the idea that constant phone use is not sustainable. I appreciate you making this video. My girlfriend was on her phone enough last weekend when we were at a brewery that I kind of lost my wind in my sails. As always, Casey, I appreciate you and your mindset on human potential. Please, keep going and pushing yourself!

Casey I used to watch your blogs every day back in 2015, it was an awesome daily routine to come from school and go right to KZbin and watch such an inspiring creator. This is the first vlog I’ve seen in a few years after I moved on to different things. I was so happy to see the classic white glasses that used to inspire me to be creative. I love seeing what you’ve been up to, keep up the good work my man

What a nice human being! 👍 God Bless U!

Quit Facebook for 5 weeks, best 5 weeks for my mind, peace!

[@scottrowe533]

I quit Facebook cold turkey, about five years ago, and I think it's one of the best things a person can do for their own mental health. I was on FB a total of a couple hours every single day, and that's just not healthy. I also do not have a Twitter account. I look at KZbin for 20 to 30 minutes per day (usually while eating lunch) and Instagram for 5 to 10 minutes per day. That's it.

[@KeepTheTime]

Ray Ban should partner with Casey and make a limited edition pair of sunglasses called Casey Customs. Following the same aesthetics as Casey's customization, with each pair being unique.

[@hemidart7]

so everybody can be a wannabie that's casey thing people need to do their own thing

[@UpchurchBrand]

Would they do it with no branding though? Or would he still need to grind and black out the logo.

[@KeepTheTime]

@@UpchurchBrand No branding, exactly like the ones Casey makes. The logo area would look scratched out. They don't need branding on these limited editions because it's already a recognizable design and people who buy them will already know all about them.

[@UpchurchBrand]

@@KeepTheTime True they would be recognisable. Expensive though. May be cheaper to diy, especially with a less expensive brand. If you're grinding it off anyway.

[@metricageomocule7830]

Then Casey Neistat's sunglasses wouldn't be unique.

Hey Casey I quit Instagram the same day you published the original video and feel like I have more time to do other stuff. Its good that people like you acknowledge that this "SOCIAL MEDIA" can be addictive and knowing how to manage it can be helpful for your brain health.

[@ramezbishara6400]

Our brains subconsciously compare to the things we see that we can relate to. Try to always catch it consciously by practicing presence and setting intentions - I know I'm doing this and it helps (somewhat). Remember that these are curated and exaggerated highlights of ppl's lives, not the whole story.

[@Knosferatu]

I get inspired. You get jealous cause someone is better than you at something? Pretty sad dude.

[@ramezbishara6400]

No, it's not sad. There's a fine line between jealousy and inspiration. You have to start by being jealous to be inspired to go out and do it for yourself. Some of us just don't reach the stage of 'action' consistently or quickly enough so we get stuck in a warp of comparison and feel subconsciously undeserving of our own dreams.

Social media is honestly so insane. It's a neutral thing we have created for sure that can be used for horrible things or amazing things.

[@choimdachoim9491]

I discovered KZbin a month or so ago and have given up watching TV 6 hours a day 7 days a week. Now I study different things that actually relate to my life, like how to discover if a car battery is slowly draining, how to build cabinets and drawers and cabinet doors in a variety of styles (getting ready to make new kitchen), how to install a steering stabilizer on my motor home (did it), how to solve problems with my motor home not starting (fixed it), how to install a transfer switch for shore power (did it), how to install crown molding (soon), which glues to use for various purposes, how to read the dot code on tires (needed for motorhome), how to make tamales, how to make chili rellenos, how to make enchiladas, how to de-rust cast iron skillets, where to camp for free in a motor home, what problems different motor home camping organizations have, best internet hook-ups for mobile use nation-wide, which synthesizers are still good to use and what is new in that world, publishing words and music, tablesaw tricks and uses, double-slit experiments, sourdough starter, chili recipes, scarf joints, best batteries for off-grid systems, state residence for full-time rv dwellers, troubleshooting starter relays and solenoids (used it successfully), plus tons of just interesting stuff. I spend about 3 hours each day on youtube but the rest of the day I'm using this information or doing other work on my property and vehicles plus I write, record and edit music about 10 hours per week, walk my dogs and cat 8 to 10 times each day, watch an hour of TV with my wife who just retired and hasn't found her new passion to get her off the couch. I've never used twitter or instagram so I'm glad to hear about the experiences of someone who overdid them and their resolution of the problem that they became. I truly believe that youtube is one of the most important creations of humans. It gives anybody who knows something or does something the ability to potentially share their knowledge and experience to the entire human population. This is education on a previously unaccomplishable scale and education as it always should have been. It's better than books. It has surpassed books. If school classes were done with youtube, people would be better educated for the reality of their lives.
