- hi friends, this is definitely more of a disorganized rant that briefly covers many pains i have with social media :P please share your own experiences and thoughts on this medium, i would love for us to have mini conversations about it! Next time I will choose to just focus on one topic... Thank you for tuning in :)
My instagram is: annmakosins... - Krátké a kreslené filmy
I love that you used the phrase *especially Instagram*, which is legit facts!
I have felt so rejuvenated ever since I left Instagram for good. Instagram was one of the most toxic experiences of my life. I'll admit, there were a few times I posted some stuff to try and impress some friends and get some attention from girls, until I realized that "this isn't me. Social media isn't going to get me anywhere in life." I felt that I put myself into a toxic culture. From that point, I wanted a change... a change away from social media. And man oh man, I never felt so alive since I left Instagram for good. I started to focus on myself more. My mental health. My physical health. My goals. My hobbies. All those things not only helped me avoid social media, but they also helped me spend less time on my phone. I can't be any more proud of myself right now
that’s how I feel about Twitter Twitter is toxic as fuck
*Social media is supposed to be fun? I didn’t know that. I thought it was just supposed to be about contacting people and keeping in touch with them. It’s never been fun for me - it’s an EXTREMELY stressful experience and like I said: I’ve been eager to annihilate people for the choices they make on social media.*
Social media's affect on kid's and just people in general on their political views is scary. You're right it's tough for women as well on how it affects their decisions on how they project themselves physically, mentally and spiritually as well.
Totally. With false news/information rampant online, it's difficult to find the 'truth'..
quitting social media is the best choice..
hi a girl watching! also yeah i stopped using most social media almost 2 years ago (i use youtube and occasionally pinterest and reddit now). it was SO freeing lol and the crazy thing is that i didn’t even get on social media until i was ~16 and in the few years i was on it i became so dependent on it. and i didn’t know who i was and what i wanted bc i was so caught up in what i was seeing online.
Hii Andie
Literally same !!!
I love seeing a woman get into the concept of having self control with social media!! Great video! 🙏🙏
it was the "i took a nap & watched the office" for me - haha such a mood bc same. watching the rest of the video now but i'm already loving your energy :)
disorganized rant is my cup of tea... after trying it out for while, I realized there are some on social media that don't buy into the ads or influence and are stuck on there for the "social" aspect, like I am at times, and willingly put up with the bombardment of their attention economy. I think it's the feeling that we get to cast a voice even if it goes straight into the void or fire, depending how we feel about it, perhaps in hopes there'd be an echo to locate someone, somewhere, or something. Then I realized some take that experience to be true offline, perhaps being brought up these days where if you're not online you're a nobody and nobody wants that. You gotta be somebody, you gotta be a contender out here.. but that's another rant for another day. So yeah, basically it's a sea of folks out in these waters unbeknownst to them slowly but surely sinking into an endless vortex of social catch and release in real life too when they inadvertently begin navigating any remaining or new ships with a hijacked subconscious with truncated or bottled up expectations, like a faulty compass, and see where that leads them to, usually lacking the actual long term fulfillment from connections they're really after. There's a body of water, then there's water bottles of water and we wonder where all the fish are and why we're so thirsty. My current social media status exists online with chess to chess interactions somewhere between Good games and Good moves👍I think I'm secretly hoping for a Good checkmate with a heart at the end of it. Only time will tell, and if it goes anything like most my of my games, time keeps running out first.
social media is SO toxic and no one wants to admit it. Particularly parents and young adults. I deleted all my accounts but that was easy for me because I'm not in my 20s anymore.
ANDINI ..always calling the shots.
And when I say parents, I mean that parents are in denial about how much social media is affecting their children.
@@HardPass Totally, or the parents simply don't understand what kind of effects it's having. I think we all still don't know the true effect social media has.
I 100% agree. I have been off for two months and don’t miss it. I was seeing this guy and he followed 80% women. Local and “influencers”. It made me SO insecure and I should’ve ended things before they started. I appreciate the men who don’t use it or barely get on. I’m happy to be a millennial if anything lol. Instagram is toxic and addicting.
Twitter is the equivalent of a child pulling the wings off of a butterfly and getting upset when it can no longer fly. Instagram is basically a social credit system/ competition to see who life is better. I can’t even stomach Twitter. Especially what they did to Mr. Beast and the fact that Artist are reportedly getting bullied for their artwork on there.
I remember when I first saw your entry for the science fair, I thought you were so incredibly beautiful and that makes me realize even the most beautiful people think someone else s much more beautiful than them
Definitely toxic and yep especially instagram! But how can you advertise your business if these big corp rule it all.. FB, IG, google, CZcams, everywhere you see just so many contents and competition it's getting insane 😢
I love watching your videos, You're my inspiration
Nice discussion! Good to see you on CZcams again!!! 😊
This is amazing. I agree! Thankyou very much
I like your vibe. & you're beautiful btw!! & you have a great smile :3
My god you are wise beyond your age. Good for you.
i never really liked instagram and i always felt like the odd one out all the time. I recently just downloaded it and I found alot about people’s lives, which really hurt me. I just learned that instagram is fake, and people don’t really look like their pictures sometimes.
I am Polish my wife Filipina our kids are on same route you going through and they appreciate with age. My kids don't show to much private and face on social media. Different between you and my kids is just they grow up in Japan
for what it’s worth i think you have a very cool life!
My partner isn't on social media much and even if he is, he only uses it to contact or call me. I am glad he isn't too active on it.
The irony of this video is not lost on us.
Great discussion, is an important topic/rant. Nice to hear and see you!
Thank you for tuning in!
Always!
Would love to see you do reaction/analysis videos of beauty pageants as they happen. Like Miss Canada and Miss Universe.
is the hollow light sold anywhere?
Yeah love to hear a woman on this subject.keep it going ladyyy I left social media too❤
Been follwing you since I watched ur TedTalk
brother the irony of condemning social media and linking yours 😆
Damn, how she grew from the Google Science Fair project... glad to see you here!
wise words!
Wo kann man diese Taschenlampe kaufen?
IMO Twitter is the most toxic platform.
Do you continue without smartphone? I really appreciate your ted talk about it. Due i got cortisol and radiation .
Thinking about off my phone instead on❤
Thank you. Appreciate your inventions
Nice, your really pretty too. This is very helpful for men also.
Well, one way or another, the new cool social media HAVE TO show advertisements to grow. Same with youtube, if no ads, no one would ever be a youtuber, the destiny of youtube, insta, twitter etc would've been the same as myspace and some other that no one even remeber now.
Yes, it's true they obviously need ads to survive, I just find the amount we consume daily is insane. I wish there was some way of limiting it completely, but I guess that's either a) paying for a subscription service b) ad blocker but it won't work for all platforms or b) just being off the internet
@@AndiniMako Yeah, I think in school we need to have a subject like how to filter information, how to limit yourself, because this instant, radical shift from limited information to a humongous of freely distributed online into your pocket is crazy. For example I have my notifications OFF for every app on my phone, I open them only when I want to (excluding messaging contacts for people I talk to). Try that notifications off thing, when I first tried it, I remember the first day of a feeling of a freedom and a good night sleep.
Hii there!! Following u from 4 year's
aw hi!! thanks for coming along :)
*I was in Puerto Rico last week visiting my family and partying with their friends and family and even though some of us got drunk, there was still respect amidst the alcohol. Social media “influencers” associate drinking (and even sobriety) with cantankerous conduct, abuse, infiltrations, violations, cheating, backstabbing, torture, and breaching of the peace. They upload that shit online and to the media and then try to make it look like it’s entertainment - when it isn’t.*
also, have you gone on Club House? I’d love to hear you rant on there, you’d be a queeeen
I used to be on it during 2020 Covid times, but now I'm not anymore :') Are people still on it?? I honestly had no idea haha
*I’m tired of it!!! I was just partying with my brother (whom I hadn’t seen in 11 years) and he was acting in the same way a respectful drunk should act: he was being hilarious. He had his wife and kid around him and he didn’t cheat on her or take his clothes off and start messing around with other women. That’s what those social media “influencers” do. They’re foul and VAIN. There’s an appropriate way to party to the point that you aren’t bothering other people and give off this aura of “you’re missing out” or “you want this and you can’t have it”. I don’t know how to describe it, but that’s what social media “influencers” do: they give off this “you want this more than anything (even though you don’t) and you can’t have it and you’re below me” vibe!!! They think that it’s funny, but it’s nowhere even close to being funny because it literally just isn’t. You know when something literally isn’t funny because it isn’t funny? That’s just the way it is.*
Nice video
Though this video wasn't very helpful. I thought you were going to talk about toxic, rude comments from different communities on social media. I always have the problem where I say something that's the truth, that someone gets offended and risks me blocking them and making a fool of themselves.
You make a video against Instagram and you ask us to follow you on it afterwards?😂😂
💀💀

Toxicity - System of A Down 🎃😍🎃
makeup?
cry bout it
I use social media for my hobbies and sharing of my various collections. I've made some great acquaintances through it. I enjoy old hollywood just like you. It's actually why follow you on IG, I enjoy your enthusiasm for it.
Hi from Spain! 👋 I agree in almost everything, its a pleasure for me to hear such a honest opinion, here its dificult to go out of acepted social topics and habits...you got a new suscriptor!
I also let you my Instagram...
No! 😂 Just kidding!
Lol lunch bell?
Anywho, I grew up in the 90-20s and went through dial up/msn to the growth of social media and I’m very fortunate to have had a childhood where you would meet up with friends and play. It’s pretty sad to think kids growing up and being influenced by what they see on a screen. It’s hard for everyone. It’s the sad truth.
Have you seen the documentary The Social Dilemma? It’s pretty nuts.
