Top Comments of this video!! :3
I quit social media over a week ago and I already now feel so much better then ever in my life. I have been dealing with depression since the age of 12 (9 years ago) and social media only made it worse. My love for reading and musik is coming back and I’m learning how to deal with being bored and I love it.

I just deleted my social medias a few days ago, at first it's difficult because people around you use it and always talk about subjects that you have no idea what it's about, but it ends up being good not knowing because they are ridiculous things that add nothing to our lives. It's so good to see that people like me are realizing how much this can destroy our lives

Hey everyone, I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found some insight in some of the destructive behaviours that can be developed with excessive social media use. This was interesting for myself and my team to understand and learn more about. I will say a couple of things. I really don't condone the hurtful things being said about Mark Zuckerberg's appearance, I know the thumbnail overdramatises the video. Many people are saying quite a lot of unsettling things and I get it you are like "he is rich, who cares", but that's not the point, bullying is bullying and saying hurtful things is bad. I hope you can see where I'm coming from. Doesn't matter if they are a billionaire or some outcast from some part of the world. This is not what we are about. It's important to be critical of big companies and it's important to be fair and objective in your analysis. I don't think Mark is a bad person or Facebook in general are bad or even social media but as Chamath says in the video, "if you feed the beast the beast will eat you." This is the most important point of the video. I encourage you all to take a more nuanced approach to the video and not to view it has a pure condemnation, how we grow as a society and as people is to understand and use empathy. For me the video serves as a cautionary tale as to what can happen when you go on autopilot mode and what can happen is that your time and attention is controlled by others. This isn't just about social media it is about anything in life. Anyways, be kind. Be fair and objective. Speak your mind but respectfully, if you hate social media say it, if you love it say it. Share why you think so or don't. The most important thing is that we engage in a dialogue together. With love, Nav
