Common sense if that's true then you would see more people not using their phone as much but there is so many app distractions that its almost impossible to get off your phone like everybody says my phone is my life and I got all my personal important shit in there like my email,music,photos,apps for your job. Shout out to the people on this earth that can go ghost and go without social media nobody needs to know your business mind yours and I'll mind my business period.

I can 100 percent assure you that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. He did the ultimate act of love for mankind in being crucified, being buried, and rising again on the third day. God made Jesus to be sin for us, though Jesus knew no sin. Through Jesus we can be saved, he bore our sins on the cross.

I’m 19 and started living my life like this last year. Best decision for mental clarity. Social media (especially Instagram/Twitter) can cloud ur head with negativity and make you too concerned with others peoples lives instead of your own

[@Andy-zd4wj]

No call out or disrespect fammo, just wondering where you stand on if KZbin is “social media” or a “streaming service” and why for personal reasons because the comment section really has my opinion shifting from what KZbin used to be

[@ComedyKnights]

@@Andy-zd4wj 100% and that shift in my opinion just comes from the cultural impact gen z has had on social media sites like KZbin. However, I believe KZbin is still much better since substance and content is still very much dependent on creativity and authenticity rather then the more “influencer” type of content that’s more common on Instagram, etc. Hope that answers your question

[@cardion411]

Very very real my brother. Very true.
