Nice video content! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you researched - Saankramer Life Card System (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is an awesome one of a kind guide for learning how to stop drinking without the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my best friend Jordan finally got great success with it.

Yeah, like for example, you say a word against a Star Wars fan who hated the new contents, they'd just wish you were tarred and feathered. Even so, they refuse to admit that they are having mental issues. Just feel alienated by such a small contingent of disagreeable people, that it'd just keep getting worse as long as you keep arguing. BTW, If you don't like the new stuff, but not resorting to such hateful antics, like calling people "Woke" or "Shill", then I'm not talking about you, just so you know. This is coming from a moderate conservative who does not vote for Trump because of his bad behavior.

I'm 18 years old now and up until 2 years ago I had great struggles with my attention span. I used Twitter/Instagram etc. instead of doing something for school and overall my screentime was immense. I knew that I had to change something, so I quit. To this day I only use WhatsApp and Discord for communication purposes, but it is still hard to draw a line for me. Is watching this video "crossing the line" that I've set up myself? I try to distinguish between videos that have some kind of educational content and videos that don't, though I'd like to quit KZfaq as well...

I can proudly say that I'm living the life without social media from past 2 complete years. I'm not even in WhatsApp, i use e-mails. I only have KZfaq in my phone, and it's not a social media. For current affairs I read news papers, megazines, news sites etc. Reading books, exploring my native language's rare old books, watching some cinema etc Without social media life is good. Feels like I'm living a genuine life, it's good.

@@txee7626 Well, speaking for myself, whenever I scroll down my Instagram or Facebook feed, I get the sense that my life has stagnated when everyone else is having a gala time. My real disillusionment with social media began when I began meeting the people I see on social media a little more often in real life and realized that nearly everything I knew or had assumed about them by looking at their profiles was a lie. Those people had far less knowledge, had done far less in life, and travelled to fewer places than I thought. One of my social media "friends", as it turned out, was posting literally every picture of herself after a ton of editing and didn't even look like I had imagined. So why talk to the digital image of a person when you have to meet them in person and change your mind anyway?

There are some people that were my friends when I was a child and they left the city to study in the capital. I feel so happy to see how much they achieved, I feel so proud of them. What makes me sad is to see violence, crime, sexism, prejudice. Seeing people happy, traveling and achieving things make happy even I haven’t achieved that much.

I quit social media when I realise every time I posted something, I was hoping for likes, comparing the number of likes with my friends. I found myself going to places that I don’t like just to take pictures to put online; I found myself missing out on the actual experience and enjoying the scenery just to get a perfect picture/video. I found myself comparing my life with all the other friends in my life, until I’m left with feeling embarrassed, ashamed, and jealous every time I went on scrolling. When I quit checking my social media, I realised that I was missing out. I shouldn’t live for anyone’s ‘like’ and approval. It will either destroy people’s self esteem or create a fake bubble of confidence, which when it pops it will hurt and cause destruction even more. I’m glad I’ve set myself free in that sense

think what we are beginning to see is more and more people realizing that people, real, face to face people, give us sooooooo much more than 5000 Facebook 'friends'. We are designed to be gregarious, we need other people to function and feel purpose.... angry, vicious, self righteous woke idiots on social media platforms are not those people! We are starting to get it, that means you are part of the positive change happening so thank you...and thank yourself too :)

Went on a cruise for a full week. Didn't get the internet package and destroyed my phone in the pool so had nothing. At first I was like , what the hell do I do or think about? But, it quickly became easy, granted there was a ton of stuff to do and dock days but I noticed how much more clear headed I became by actually allowing thought and happier/more passionate about my surroundings. When I came back I still didn't have a phone for a bit and though I was back to the more mundane, I was still perfectly fine and happy. I realized how much time I actually have. Since then I've gotten another phone, but don't really partake in social media. It's boring and a waste to me now, but I still play my games and watch KZfaq. Other than those and work stuff/ looking up questions or interests I don't feel the need to do anything else digitally. This also means I get weird ads lol.

I can honestly say their anger was justified. Imagine working your butt off to make music and peform it live only to be recorded and put online instead.

Thank you to all of you that feel the same way and I'm actually a follower of Christ and what I've been noticing about Christian group and Christian Post and things like that that have to do with the Bible and other topics besides the Bible are being Censored so bad that it's not worth the time or effort to be on there anymore. Take your data and sell it and turn right around and make you work to get noticed or liked by what you post and even make you pay to play as Facebook calls it. 1. Friend requests have decreased from 2017 2. Likes have decreased from 2020 3. Post content becomes invisible because of the Algorithims. Depending on what is posted there is a good likelihood your content will be completely invisible so others won't see it this is the sad reality now.

I now enjoy the things I'm doing instead of taking a picture/updating my status to show everyone 'I'm having fun'.

I also felt like I wasn't moving nowhere when I seen my friends doing stuff in their Facebook posts and getting opportunities. It does have an effect like that on a person. It's hard to quit it because you feel like you need to stay in contact with clientele and people. But technically we don't. Just get their numbers and that's it. Like we did back in the days. Now you have all these networking sites in place. It is hard. At least I can say I never use Instagram (will start using it too post stuff for my projects and that's it) and Twitter.
