Why I Deleted Social Media

In this video I explain why I deleted social media. I speak about the type of person I was before deleting social media and the benefits that I've experienced since starting a digital detox.

I also have deleted my social media accounts and I don't regret it at all. It has been 2 years now and I have struggled with the same problems you have mentioned. Living in the real life and having meaningful relationships with real people you see in real life is waaay better than those followers and likes.

The only social media I regularly use now is KZbin. I hardly ever check my Facebook or Twitter any more.

I haven't deleted it yet as I am working in fitness industry and it's like a tool. But it's the first time ever that I feel so repulsed when I have to post sth on stories or so. I delete the app from the phone for a day and then install it just to check if there's anything I gotta respond to. I am so happy that more and more of us are at least trying to be off the grid :)

There are tools out there ( check out Meta Business Suite) that allow you to manage social media pages (post, reply to dms and comments etc) yet not have a timeline. Could be worth checking out if you use it for business!

I deleted my social media 2 years ago and stayed off it for 3 years. I've recently gotten back on it multiple times only to realize again and again how useless it is and how people make up excuses as to why they need to have it. It is the ultimate waste of time. I deleted it again this week on Monday and aim to be off it. You don't need it.

love your ideas, joe. great stuff. social media is dogshit big time. when it cut it out, i have a strong urge to call my mates and link up in person asap, and feels fantastic. our minds think social engagement = social connection. but social media has hit all our engagement buttons without any of the real connection.

I left Facebook in 2022 and came back in late 2023. After being fed up of flirty messages from random guys, I decided to leave for good. I'm not going back. I have Instagram, but hardly use it and I see absolutely no point to TikTok or Snapchat.
