My screen time is more than 15 hours. Mostly tiktok and Instagram. Today, I woke up at 4 pm but I can't keep living like this. I need to make a change. I'm deleting tiktok and Instagram today

[@kenseichen]

I’m looking forward to hearing your progress!

[@wonder3896]

I was literally waking up at 6 pm, deleted it yesterday

[@xaviermachuga]

I deleted social media a few months ago. The benefits far outweigh the cons. HOWEVER, on the flip side of the coin, I’ve never felt so lonely before. Just the honest truth.

[@kenseichen]

@@xaviermachuga I feel you. There are pros and cons to it like anything else. If you are in social environments like school then I would say you can hang out your friends that way. But, if you are in the stage of life where your friends aren’t physically there, you could start to slowly integrate social media and use an app blocker with a time limit. The only thing you have to do before this is try to be social with your friends via text or find something to fill your time. If your friends aren’t willing to talk on a call, play video games, or hang out with you then they aren’t your friends. If you are looking to find friends, the world is yours. I don’t want you to use social media to numb yourself and distract you from feeling lonely. You either solve it or keep pushing it back by indulging in distractions. I can make a video about loneliness if that will help!

[@valerieh5400]

Agreed, however I’d rather feel lonely without social media than lonely with social media lol also I’m a first time mom so I have a little one I need to focus on.

[@JuanCatalan-sl6ts]

You don’t have to delete u can just stop going on

[@jimmygorgeous]

really

[@drksimi3]

you are more productive and present when delete social media. Tik Tok is the worst app. is endless scrolling and time waster. I agree everything you said in this video.

[@kenseichen]

Yes, there is no benefit to TikTok

[@Unknowaccnt]

I deleted all social media , except KZbin because I need it for school. People saying they felt lonely without it .. I felt more lonely with them. I had a lot of people on there that didn’t actually want to be friends in real life . Only wanted to chat online. Random people I didn’t know . I become more mindful, I actually engage with other people , I’m present in the moment . No more disassociating. Focusing on work and school without feeling drained out. But you will feel extremely lonely because social media was masking the loneliness by chatting on there .

[@valerieh5400]

@@Unknowaccnt - agreed lol I think I was more lonely with social media

[@Izanami_]

This is so true! I used to have brain fog if i used social media. Thanks for coming on my feed ✨

[@kenseichen]

Happy to help

[@Balajils-o1i]

Everything you said in my video is very true and I experienced it. Especially the homework part.

[@kenseichen]

I'm glad it resonated with you!

[@delionken]

Keep it up bro. I like your content.

[@kenseichen]

Thank you brotha

[@oaygdhw7]

My biggest problem is that Instagram and Facebook (my worst addictions) are really helpful for learning about events, posting about your events, marketing, etc. That's what I'd have a hard time parting with, people depend on my posts for learning about events. Also the DM's are really helpful for making connections and staying in contact with important ones.

[@kenseichen]

I understand that. I use Opal to control the screen time when I was posting

[@caranalbandian4798]

Imma focus on you from now on😳

[@kenseichen]

Bet

[@danielpinkham4526]

Also another point is after being on social media for awhile is instead of seeing people opinion and seeing what it's worth, you go on attack mode and start war.

[@kenseichen]

Yes, the war of opinions

[@gingers064]

the irony of getting an add to download instagram before this video

[@kenseichen]

😂

[@ErosMorelli]

Here before 1 million subs

[@kenseichen]

Thank you brotha!

[@NeneBlessing]

Nice 👍🏽

[@Again-r1x]

I dont trust everyone that someone who doing stuff are unacceptable is everybody in now are forgive this person because their actions are badly at least i hate how this person dont quit being content creator because what they did thats why i never want to trust them ever again. (I dont know why they forgive them instead of against them welp i want to quit social media now)

[@KashmiriRiderGirl]

What if you are a content creator ?

[@kenseichen]

@@KashmiriRiderGirl great question! I ask this myself a lot so I use Opal that helps restrict my time spent on apps.

[@KashmiriRiderGirl]

@ actually, before content creation, i used to take a long break from social media media by deactivating but now i am stuck.I want to delete or deactivate but I can’t. It is just endless scrolling.

[@JuanCatalan-sl6ts]

I only stopped cause all the people from high school quit in like 2012 so they punked me you know

[@cynthiaslife1245]

Isn’t KZbin social media 🤔🫣

[@kenseichen]

I would say it’s more of a media platform, which is still addicting

[@edwardlopez9061]

KZbin is social media too by the way

[@kenseichen]

Very true

[@nativechique7589]

Not in the same caliber as ig, sc, fb

[@ShinDigListener]

uninstall

[@Unknowaccnt]

I’m tired of people like you making videos like this cause you literally have insta , tik tok & X. You’re still addicted. Permanently delete them & then you can make this video .

[@kenseichen]

Valid point, it is unfortunately the hypocrisy that content creators like me, have to deal with. We have to be able to market our content and spread the word more - social media is the easiest way because everyone uses it. However, we use it to create instead of consuming, which makes our audience consume more. I did not use Instagram or other platforms besides KZbin a couple months ago (and other seasons of my life) so this video was a recollection of the benefits.

[@extrememinimalistparent]

​@kenseichen there are tons of youtubers who don't need it to share their yt.

[@Cipher_linux]

I pretty much agree with you. However if it effects positively individual, it's not really too bad.
