Bro we don’t need social media, if you look back to the early 00’s, 90’s and 80’s they were way more happy. Everything was more authentic. Social media destroys us.

[@JordanGreenYT]

facts bro. our greatest resource is also our greatest distraction

[@GardeningGroomer]

Truth! I was a kid late 80s/early 90s. When we got together to play or hang out as teens, we actually played and interacted and used our imaginations, went outside, built stuff, biked, made up all kinds of fun games. Now, kids get together, whatever their age, and a phone or ipad or portable game appears and they all sit around staring. It’s very sad.

[@outking4twty650]

@@JordanGreenYT its better to have a physical conversation than through text tbh

[@MrDatta10]

Social media makes people ignore what is happening outside like meeting people. They seem to depend on social media for everything. I do not encourage this behaviour. Social media is not the real world. Quality interactions is meeting people. That why life was better in 80s and 90s and early noughties we were free from these distractions. I met pals and played without staring at the screen..Those memories are so precious. Today everything is shifted and we are struck in this world

I found myself coming back and watching this video time to time, because this is a topic that is always constantly on my mind and this is a very well said video. Social media is so fake and toxic, and it honestly makes me worried for the youth who are using it and who are future adults. I myself have always kind of struggled with it, especially when it comes to the music industry and what not. Seeing so many other artists who I follow and some are personal friends of mine, have so much more followings and more engagements than me always made me compare myself to them when in reality, I shouldn't be comparing myself to anyone because everyone has different life circumstances like you said and everyones journey will always be completely different from one another.

[@mrsanatra1]

For me its pointless. For example, i write comic books, Ive been on instagram for 8 years or so, i use to get 400-500 likes, then they changed the algorithm, now i can barely touch 150. To me social media just promotes 2 types: already established people (celebs,influencers) or Pay to win (people or companies who spend tons). Im a normal person, i dont have tons of money, and because you have to work to live i barely have time to post all the time, comment all the time or make vids. Its frustrating so i just quit social media all together

[@cggg5089]

You are definitely smarter than most 20 year olds (a lot smarter than me when I was 20), but you need to drop the mindset that 25 will be your “prime.” That is just setting yourself up for disappointment. There is no “prime” when it comes to age except what you make for yourself. Instead of focusing on a prime, focus on living the best possible life at all times. Also, do NOT make the mistake of believing that you need money to provide value to people or that money and the sharing of value are somehow correlated. Money can certainly be a used for good, but what’s important is the character of the one who wishes to share the wealth and you don’t need any money to do that. (Note that Jesus and Gandhi had no money.) Again, this is a belief that will ultimately backfire and leave you a victim of the very things you are protesting in this video. Otherwise, you are on the right track.

Yes, too much of anything can possibly be bad. I don’t even see people on social media and think, they’re doing better than me, actually I love it.

@AK KD I get your point although it depends on how you go about it. A nice car or house are not exactly a necessity, but if you can afford it and you like it, why not? I think we know what’s best for us and we should always push ourselves to be the best version of ourselves, not the one designed by society but the one designed by ourselves. Before doing something we must ask ourselves if we want to do it, or we feel pressured into doing it. If you want to buy a “nice” house you don’t like to please people then something’s not right! Especially if that might cause a financial burden, like buying a car you cannot afford so that people can see you!

Traditional physical prime is yes in your 20’s and 30’s, and there are even exceptions there because I know there are guys who are in there 40’s who reached there peak physical prime. But financially millennials and gen Z own very little in comparison with baby boomers, something like 4% of the wealth in the economy is owned by millennials which is incredibly low. So most of the ‘famous’ and ‘wealthy’ people you see on social media are probably in debt or a very small percent are actually wealthy. Just facts there.
