Get youtube red. all those 5 second ads add up to a good chunk of time over the course of your life... uk its 2018 and we can't get ads removed from regular tv.. man i remember the days in 06 they didnt even have ads.. and there was no youtube stars paid out for views or you couldn't get shows from TV or every song it was just a bunch of weird videos from peoples crappy single mega pixel cameras.. wave come along way ok my generation rotted our brain out staying up playing snake on a black and white Nokia screens n talking on Nextel walkie talkie atleast now we can rot our brains in full HD with a backlight that will burn out our retinas in 15 years

This is a very sad reality of life. We are becoming slaves of our own gadgets. We should know how to control and use our gadgets wisely especially smartphones. There are two things we should always remember when using our phones, for a very important call and for sending an important text message.

Social media makes me very jealous of people who post pics everytime they go out, it's like they have such an active social life, and i dont, but somehow that's not true, I go out too i just dont post on social everytime I go out, i would rather enjoy being in the moment but it still makes me feel like something is missing , that I'm living a lesser life, just because i don't document every single moment of my life for people to see and evaluate. Point is, if you use social media, doesn't matter how sorted of a life you live, it's still going to effect your mental health and self esteem. It's just so hard to ignore.

[@Bhabna10]

@Solomon never said it's not...but studies have shown that youTube is quite possibly the only social media that has positive effect, apart from staying up nights watching KZbin if you do that

I think I have a symptoms of Depression. I am a very active in social media. Let me share my story, I have the passion in singing and I used to have invitation to sing in an event but not regularly. So when I don't have invitation I'm just only staying at home. I don't have a Job aside from singing, I am always afraid to apply for a work because of my fear of rejection, afraid of not able to handle the situation because I don't have any experience yet. Singing is the only thing that I considered as my Job and for me singing is my life but unlike the other singers that they have left and right invitation. Sometimes when I am scrolling down on my newsfeed on facebook seing those of my friends who are also into singing and entertainment that their career is booming and successful, I usually felt so envy to them, I always asked myself am I not worthy enough to have left and right invitations like them? Do I have to be perfect to deserve a better career as peformer? These questions really make me feel Depressed, down, isolated and so empty. But I know that I really have to fight and always believe in myself that I can also be successful performer just like others. Praying to God is also very helpful to ease the sadness inside.'

Geeat message, its not necessary to post everything on social media what you are doing or not doing, only post that pics which you really had enjoyed or experienced rather than posting fake pics, videos because by enjoying life you will get peace.. and more confident about yourself.. its better to use social media for productivity and not for timepass.. because by posting more pics and getting less likes or followers will affect your mental health making you emotionally unfit. Focus on privacy...

[@charleshurstreinvention3959]

It's too much in today's society. There is something that will impede your advancement as I told my own subscribers. Addiction to social media. Now social media can be a good thing for advertising your business, YT channel or the like. But having your entire existence based on it is not. First there is the unhealthy aspect of comparing yourself to other profiles which usually aren't nearly as stellar in real life as they are on the front page. Then there is the aspect where your validation is being sought from people you rarely talk to in real life--if ever. Not to mention the constant quest of follows and likes also drops minute amounts of dopamine in your system literally physically making you addicted to social media. Which leads to later anxiety increase and depression. But also--if you are spending all your time on your iPhone then you aren't advancing yourself. Think about how much more you could learn about stock trading if you cut social media 90% down? That's my end point. It should be a very small part of your life not the center of it. Hope that helps someone out there---Charles

GOD, you need to see the life, the smallest things on life like a child laugh on her father because he farted, or apreciate the beautiful nature we have whatever country you're in! That is memory, not taking a picture just because you want to show it! Sadly when the battery goes down people see the actual life around them, and then freak out because they don't have a thing to not be bored (really? bored). You can talk to the old lady sitting at the bus station and ask about her day, and you make her day must better width this question! There pros and cons about social media but 90% are cons, believe me! This is why I wanted to live in 80's, there was no phone and no "pressure" to post a photo every week! REALLY, REALLY SAD! This is not life, this is costumed life with fairytales, that everything is fine and there are no problems in life! EVERYONE HAS PROBLEM, FOR GOD'S SAKE!
