unhealthy relationship with YouTube / online content
| >>849314
I am also kind of like this. It is really bad. I think my problem is that I would sort of turn to youtube when I was bored but,also just to fill time from near unbearable boredom. As I grew up with very few friends in a hoarding house with severe social anxiety leading me to not talk to anyone at school for perhaps 5 years.
| >>849315 I feel you, when i talk to people, especially when in groups, i can only talk for so long before i need to isolate, and without even thinking about it i unlock my phone and open something to just distract. it's scary how sometimes i open my phone for something important and my brain just goes autopilot and opens youtube, even if i hate how tight technology has a grip on us, i kinda can't do anything else
| DO IT. Just do it (stop using youtube). Dont let your dreams, be dreams. Yesterday, you said tomorrow, so JUST DO IT.
>MAKE. YOUR DREAMS. COME TRUE.
>JUST-
>DO IT
| >>849325 my brain is hardwired for YouTube thats pretty difficult
I checked my average watch time it's fucking 5 hours a day and that's cause i reduced it the past month, that's 33 hours in the last 7 days fuuuck
| Having said that, I'm gonna start not using it right now. I'll see how it goes and maybe write it here lol
| locking app under codes helped me, think of it as a "are you sure you what to waste time here?"
| weaklings, weaklings, all of you. only after 16 hours of watch time per day that you are allowed to question your life choices. anything below that is just normal internet consumption, duh.
| Find a hobby or something to do while you watch maybe.
I watch a lot of hours of media too, but I'm drawing while I have that on
| Matrix was right sheeple, on the real though your brain is now hardwired to social interactions without having to talk to or be seen by a meat bag.
I'd recommend getting into a vrchat discord and talk to randos as a pepperoni pizza slice.
| I just blocked youtube.com from my computer, helped a ton.
| Softmod your Wii and use YouTube on it. Do not use YouTube on any other device.

There you go, have fun with the 480p video!
| You can add YouTube to ublock origin. Just make a custom filter that is *.YouTube.com/*

| i just want to vent out a bit about this. I've been watching youtube for quite a lot of hours a day for years, it used to be worse than it is now but it's still bad.
I feel like a mindless body just absorbing whathever i see recommended and dont really get anything from it except that cool fact every once in a while.
i don't know how to stop it and whenever i try to i really don't know what to do, I do go out quite often but the rest of the day is just spent in bed watching videos
