FOMO. It's real and scary. Look at drivers around you when you're at a red light (unless you yourself are one of these) - most people have to check things on their phones. Just yesterday actually saw a couple in their vehicle scrolling their feeds (yes, including the driver) while going down the road. Of course, driver's attention wasn't given to driving and he kept slowing down, speeding up and weaving. It's scary what we've become... Even at dinner time, in restaurants, families, people no longer interact with each other - they have to scroll to see what they may be missing when what they're truly missing is who is in front of them...

[@Deletirium]

I was born in the 80's, and am definitely a child of the internet, but I've never really found myself doomscrolling. I deeply resent intrusions of privacy, and being "the product," so I just don't have the usual quartet of social media. I tend to use the phone in public more for times that I don't want somebody awkwardly attempting small talk with me.

Yea it's true but you don't take in most of the info as our brain doesn't work that way ,if you actually want to learn something,take notes ,and go through them untill you remember it properly (neuroplasticity)

[@terror_nightmare9308]

KZbin works in a different way. Watching a video recommended to you feels like you learnt something, but actually the knowledge is often cannot retain well in your brain because it does not get used.

[@Leanzazzy]

​@@Pikachu1802-b2lCan agree with this guy. The best way to learn is to reinforce the knowledge by taking notes & then teaching others.

[@grudat2431]

I know what you mean and in terms it's correct but don't let the slightly better feeling that you learned something fool you. After some struggles I was able to delete everything besides KZbin and also don't watch shorts at all anymore. But just because informative Videos with good production quality feel better, we often jump around and don't actively try to learn the stuff we see. So if this falls flat we're back at the beginning and just spend time being passive instead of active, maybe even worse than before. I mean 60 min tiktok? Hell no what a waste of time but 3x20 min vids on KZbin? Easy! But just passive consumed it's not really better unfortunately

[@5pr1nk57]

Spot on mate, I called this 15 odd years ago! I was speaking with someone on the original dev team for Facebook who confirmed this even back then. The feeds are designed around slot machines, the refresh response times are instant and they implement that spinning wheel as a timer to create suspense to keep you hooked, just like you demonstrated with the monkey. It's no accident but all by design, they are literally made to be addictive like a drug which is why this one individual jumped ship. The level at which tech is used to psychologically manipulate us is actually frightening, just look at things such as Cambridge Analytica for example! I don't often buy into conspiracies but there are definitely incidents where it is being used for nefarious purposes! Some real Black Mirror stuff and yet here we are still scrolling away! 😅 One inconsistency though, as an electronics tech, the board you showed from a 'new' slot machine is actually something very old from around the early 90's!

When it comes to the user side, social media mainly serves two purposes: either it’s your job, or you’re trying to make it your job. The other purpose is to show that you have a superior or better life than others, and you want to display it and receive attention for it. Outside of that, it’s completely useless-who needs it apart from those two reasons? I use technology intensively, and I change phones very regularly.

Genuine question, if you’re creating art through photos and videos how do you share those experiences with others?

😂😂😂 , this kind of motivation where the motivator encourages you to stop listening to motivational speakers 😅😅😅

[@rebecca_stone]

It's good to see a clear explanation of these tactics getting refreshed attention. To add another example of where intermittent reinforcement is used: in domestic violent / severely abusive relationships. This is why the victim stays, even though outsiders think "why would anyone be dumb enough to stay with a DV partner?!". It's because the partner is only sometimes violent or cruel, otherwise they are the most amazing partner you can imagine. It's the good they do that does the most damage and makes it so incredibly hard to leave. Literally addiction. Even years after you leave them, you're haunted by the good parts.

I literally just watched a Techquickie video with a PIA ad and it showed an unlimited amount of devices. So yeah, it's outdated.

0:40 this is exactly the reason i completely disabled the official facebook app on my phone (can't uninstall it cause samsung preinstalled it on my phone) and use a third party app where i have all notifications disabled, this way i can look at facebook whenever i feel like it and don't get sucked in with notifications

@@katycatjulius Strange, all Samsung phones released after that time should allow for Facebook to be deleted. Unless of course you bought one released earlier in the year, but bought it later. Regardless, fuck Facebook and their sea of notifications.

[@artIfactuaI]

Color? Whats that. I have it in grayscale so nothing is “eye catching” I have been aware of the downfall of social media for a couple years which is why I have never scrolled on any useless short form apps. The only real social media I have is KZbin. And yes I have been way too attached to KZbin long form videos and I’m trying to stop it. It’s just tough given the fact that it’s always in arms reach. I am truly scared for this generation when people actually have to grow up and get a job for a sustainable life.

[@d.SAiNi.]

If you want to avoid random videos feeds on Home tab/screen, except your subscriptions, just trun off KZbin watch history.

What I really like about this video and the one about how mobile games keep you addicted is that Arun himself uses a lot of techniques to keep you engaged on his videos. This video has a lot of it, like screen shutting down when he beats on the table or fast cuts with lots of movements.

I really love when you make videos like this that are slightly out of your usual niche of tech reviews. You do them very well and, as usual, keep them very engaging. These kinds of conversations aren't just very important but they also might be what save us from ourselves in the future. I'm looking forward to more content like this. I'd love to see your take on 'brainrot'.
