As someone with a family member with media addiction that shit is devastating. ANY screen playing even advertisements is instantly more compelling than anything else. It's like living with a ghost, or a zombie. I know it's funny to clown on it because it sounds so absurd but it's just a crushing cycle of having to restrict websites and adding time locks so that people can still work and them somehow figuring something out and spending hours glued to the screen, aggressive towards anyone who even tries to get them to stop

[@eileensnow6153]

Yeah, the commentary was a little harsh. Just because it’s social media doesn’t mean the addiction is funny. I’m sorry you’re going through that

[@botanicalitus4194]

I was developing a social media addiction but thankfully I noticed and immediately took measures to put a stop to it. But even now that Ive blocked all of the social media platforms that triggered it (like twitter and reddit) I still get an intense itch layered on a bed of anxiety whenever I see that my blocker has run out since it only works for 24 hours at a time, so I try to activate a new block session before the first 24 hours is up, but sometimes I forget to start a new session and all of a sudden I have access to all of the social media. Most days this happens I can just quickly force myself to activate the blocker, but some days I cave and go on the social media thinking "oh ill just do it for 10 minutes". Then the whole day is ruined, I become an anxious mess in a bad mood and hours pass. It seems silly I know but its a real thing and it fucks you up. It contributed to my sucidaIness and I believe that if I didnt stop it I wouldnt be here right now

the first story is so fucked up, losing your family over something as trivial as social media

[@botanicalitus4194]

its fucked up yes but social media isnt trivial. It activates the exact same parts of the brain as things like drugs, gambling, shopping...etc do. People arent used to hearing about social media addiction, so they trivialize it thinking its not just as hard to curb as other addictions, but it really is. Addiction isnt logical, it makes you compulsively do things that make NO sense.

[@liyahliyah694]

Right? And the manipulation as well... I thought it was so sad if true..:

[@angelvu]

Her kids deserve to be attended to by an adult who actually does care. Emotional and childhood neglect can really fuck development up in a baby, permanently. A good example is me :( Now I have a slew of mental problems and abnormal behaviors because my parents never took care of me. That dad is an absolute hero. I hope that lady gets her shit together and starts caring for her kids. I’m glad the dad divorced her.

[@randomnerd3402]

I was baffled. Then Noel called me out for taking a dump, but only my sister is home so I think I'm not missing out on family time.

[@XxNekoMoonxX]

imo i don’t think she’s a loser, irresponsible and has issues yes. im glad her children are i better hands also. she’s doing the work to get better through professional help and admitting to her behavior. doesn’t make what she did okay, but you have to acknowledge she’s taking responsibility now. i feel really bad for the children that missed out on a large chunk of time without their mom because of her behavior:-( and the partner ofc for having to be both parental roles

[@speccogecko7296]

From the sounds of it she’s aware that she’s hurting the people around her. She’s absolutely defensive however she’s not deluded into thinking she’s done no harm. I hope she gets better and can find other hobbies. The instant gratification that social media provides can be overbearing for many people. She absolutely fucked over her husband and children but I feel empathetic for her. I procrastinate and struggle to switch between using my phone and being productive and it has caused me to flunk tests, miss alot of school and continually disappoint friends for being continuously late. I can somewhat relate to the intense control that social media has and the inability to avoid being stuck in the same position for hours just scrolling. That being said the infant gratification provides such a weak dopamine hit. I have felt my most happiest when buying and caring for plants aswell as tending to my insects and rabbits which involves watering and grass picking. Being engaged with my real hobbies fills me with twice as much happiness because 1) dopamine from the interest snd 2) dopamine for being excited that I’m in a place where I’m capable of doing this.

As a Ukrainian fan of yours, I'd actually like to thank you for this title (and the skit). This may feel like an edgy joke to make these days but the importance of you TALKING ABOUT IT matters more. Not a lot of young people in the US (and Canada) bring it up at all, I get it feels very distant to them. But it's a fight for the world's democracy and freedom. It's more than politics. Raising awareness is crucial. Also, to be fair, Ukrainians have always been very resilient to "getting offended." We never get hurt by things like that, we clearly have more important things to be upset at. Not to mention there's very little (to no) Ukrainian representation in the Western entertainment industry. Even on KZbin. So this matters, thank you

About the first story. It's an addiction, those aren't rational. It's a subroutine in your brain that took over your decisionmaking. She literally has an illness, which can be treated but is hard (for some impossible) to get rid off.

[@noahhutchison7503]

@@arunkeshavadas7171 while addiction to social media isn't the same as addiction to something like nicotine or alcohol, it's no doubt a bona fide addiction. It demonstrably works on your dopamine receptors. As to "where's the harm?".. like dude, this woman's story. This is the harm. This and the litany other ways you find people's browsing habits negativity impacting their lives. While there are certainly people who are able to use social media without it becoming so destructive to their lives, and while this woman is probably a particularly bad case of social media addiction, situations like hers appear in numbers that are by no means negligible. Even if it doesn't always play out in the same fashion as her story (divorce, losing kids), you don't think that people suffer disconnection from the world in a way similar to her? I'm not even saying we should ban social media or anything crazy like that, nor do I think she is blameless (particularly over neglecting her kids), but taking responsibility for those actions starts by recognizing the problem and getting help to address it. Don't offhandedly dismiss her experience. It's valid.

[@tomboy2980]

I get Noel being weirded out by the daughter helping her mom making a dating profile but it's pretty clear he's just never really seen that kind of parent-child relationship irl, but it's definitely real. I'm totally best friends with my mom, since she became a single parent I had to step up and babysit my younger siblings full time and take on a lot and in some ways our relationship became more of that of somewhat equal co-parents than strictly hierarchical parent-child. I tell her pretty much everything, she tells me pretty much everything, and while we've never been super shy about having adult conversations, now that I'm an actual adult I could honestly see myself helping her with a dating profile if she asked. Thankfully she hasn't since I personally have zero interest in who she's casually banging, but if she were to be like "hey help me pick good selfies to use for tinder" or "help me write a bio" or "look at this ridiculous message this guy sent me" it wouldn't be out of the ordinary in the slightest. Idk I guess my point is buddy-buddy relationships between adults and their parents isn't that weird, esp if you grew up in a you-and-your-mom-against-the-world kind of household

[@jackwykes7523]

I wouldn’t even see it as a “casually banging” thing, I’d just see it as helping my parents. A few years after my mom passed my sister was eager for a new mother figure and set up a dating profile for my dad (she was way too young to actually have made it but it shows she cared). It motivated him to do it himself and now I have a great step-mom

@@silentluvr Way wayyyy more common than what the o.p. said.

The parent is responsible for the childs needs, not the other way around. And while it seems nice the way o.p. speaks about thier particular "relationship" its pretty common knowledge that this causes real life problems once the adult child grows up & has to start dealing with maladapted brain patterns.

I am also in a similar point of trying to stop a bad habit and develop a good one. it's not easy but at least some days there are now successes and I'm figuring out what other things I can do to help. the most important is not going to the triggers or environment that will set you off, like her on this dman phone. she needs to like find other hobbies. she has other issues and not understanding being on the phone is causing it to grow. like can she not listen to podcasts to wean herself off of looking at a screen at least?

[@taylor7moon]

really loved the format! you seem to be the first person to do this type of format (don’t fact check me on that, just the first one i’ve seen) and i really appreciate you doing what feels right to you, not just what works for the algorithm. it was such a fun dynamic and alex is so funny!! keep it up boys

[@mallic8366]

7:45 … just sat my ass down to unload a relaxing dump but now I’m on edge looking over my shoulder for Noels cameras

[@slugbug6244]

the fact that this video was posted four months ago and i didnt know about it is so sad. youtube algorithim is literal balls

[@aliciad9524]

appreciate that noel thinks his audience has a relationship when on streams he would make fun of us for being single

[@trop3848]

I can feel the unhinged energy from noel. He's clearly using this guy to create groundswell for a private military effort

[@elladraven2906]

I like how this video just felt like friends hanging out and looking at the internet together

[@sarahbearbabygirl]

tbh that last one is very plausible, my sister and i have been pushing my mom (who is beautiful and has always been getting hit on by dudes my whole life) to leave my crusty alcoholic dad since i was a young teen, and we proposed all the same stuff (dating profiles, open marriage, etc.). my dad died suddenly a few months ago, and though a part of me is sad, i feel like my mom is more whole and confident than i’ve ever seen her, and is now free to pursue those relationships that are actually fulfilling that she had viewed as off limits. she finally has been able to prioritize her own happiness and health instead of his.

[@deannaweasley]

ok is it just me or does Alex sound JUST like Ryan Gosling? It's fucking me up!!! also loved the video, Noel, great dynamic

[@leaundraschopflin6570]

He does wtf!

[@ThePhantom4516]

I don't think I've ever heard Ryan Gosling speak as just himself outside of a role

"They're weaponizing maths" This is my favourite sentence ever.

[@jaadeybaabey55]

This literally feels like “Late Late Night w/ Noel Miller” cus it’ll be super dark humor

[@khalilahd.]

“I rescued one” now Noel 😭😭😭

[@becca53444]

That first woman’s story is crazy to me because I’m on my phone when I’m bored and have no one to talk to. The second I’m with my friends or out having fun, I don’t even think about it. That’s crazy to ignore a loving husband and kids and think your phone is more entertaining than actual human interaction. Wtf

[@aidanoran2544]

Yea, maybe as a kid I thought KZbin game videos or books were more interesing than other kids but I've grown to find it's just not lol, my friends and coworkers are far better for my happiness and I like to talk to them more.

[@ToomanyFrancis]

Social media addiction is crazy. I had to start reading books to get my screen time down. I've read like 30 books this year and I hate reading.

[@ddvsgd9508]

You can just tell the whole week Noel's just been cracking jokes like that at his expense for ages lol 😂

[@ROMEOslowmeo]

Noel got one of the most entertaining mix up games on this platform. Always tryin new stuff with his videos without makin it seem desperate or forced. Great video man

[@Culled]

Your such a natural joke writer / teller. I did standup for years but mostly storytelling format. I’m envious!

[@lisasimpson507]

Noel look like he’s about to sing a cover like its early 2010s youtube

[@joeliolioli4156]

Can’t wait for when Noah is on, the amount of editing jokes is gonna kill

[@JM-xz4ur]

these either need to be longer or just more of them in general they're hilarious

[@FuzzyVideos24]

I love their chemistry, this guy funny AF

[@nurdieh]

I would love to see more of this. It was so funny and you guys bounced off each other so smoothly.

[@Pascaletheparisian]

Now that I'm almost 30, my mom and I moved from being mother and daughter to close friends. As a consequence, we have both become very open about that whole side of our lives. There's weirdly no awkwardness and it means that I always have someone I can trust to talk about any issues like that and vice versa. But I understand why it would weird most people out. Also, didn't miss the fact that Noel sat on a higher chair than Alex! 🤣

[@UwUOwl]

This was genuinely the best video you've made lately.

[@panickedantics7761]

I love Alex being in the videos and I can't wait for more! It's a great formula change. I dig it.

[@emrys9744]

This was a great idea. Definitley a fun and different way to help make a commentary vid more like a live stand up performance. Especially since Alex can now somewhat function as an audience for Noel to feed off of. Loved it.

[@thebusinesswoman23]

Honestly he's probably seeking refuge from New Jersey , just as much as Ukraine. Nice job Noel. 👏 You must be an 🌠 empath 🌠.

[@geckz716]

I will never understand how people get that addicted to their phone, I always leave my phone in my room and the only time I use it is too message people or watch KZbin when I'm in bed.

[@doinyourmom7236]

yeah its kinda pathetic

[@zosienka.0617]

that first one genuinely makes me so upset, that shit is seriously so depressing, there is no coming back from that just awful

[@doinyourmom7236]

yeah all because of some stupid social media lol. it's pathetic

[@alittleninjathatstealsyour9401]

@@doinyourmom7236 It’s addiction, i understand the video was joking about it but have some empathy

[@justpeachy2582]

I have seen the dude from the third stories post. He basically said he is depressed because his wife is happy with other people, and he regrets everything but can't let his wife go. It's weird that him and his daughter posted about the situation.

[@Skepticalraven]

First story is exactly what happened to me last year (minus the kids). That kinda hurt, ngl but I'm in a better place now.

[@averses]

How have you changed since last year? Glad you're doing better

[@Skepticalraven]

@@averses much much happier and I actually have savings now so that's great as well.

[@s.c.1251]

@@Skepticalraven that's awesome, I'm glad you got through that rough patch!

[@l.watson3406]

This format is great, I love how they were bouncing off each other's jokes
