FOMO. It's real and scary. Look at drivers around you when you're at a red light (unless you yourself are one of these) - most people have to check things on their phones. Just yesterday actually saw a couple in their vehicle scrolling their feeds (yes, including the driver) while going down the road. Of course, driver's attention wasn't given to driving and he kept slowing down, speeding up and weaving. It's scary what we've become... Even at dinner time, in restaurants, families, people no longer interact with each other - they have to scroll to see what they may be missing when what they're truly missing is who is in front of them...

The real question is will MKBHD'S Panels wallpaper app be in this year's tech fails😂

It would’ve been interesting if you also covered how this affects creators!

Now, hear me out. After watching this, do NOT go berserk and purge all the apps and delete all accounts. You WILL have withdrawal symptoms and the reentry to all these apps will be worse than your current scenario. Just like you train up with moderation so your body gets used to the workouts, train out of social media with moderation to be successful in the long run :)

The fact that there are extremely intelligent people continuously making the app more and more addictive and want to make you use the app more and more.

Roblox genuinely counts as one of the biggest ones, Australia I'm pretty sure just blocked Roblox due to this.

Pro tip. No social media on your phone, only on desktop

Aruns Video worked so well to get rid of my addiction that i stopped watching it midway🗿

[Gameboy]

I thought Arun was going to talk about Wallpaper app by MKBHD

11:07 just use a iPhone 12 or 13 mini with heating issues, problem solved. It will annoy you by rebooting on its own.

It went from Social Media to Casino Media pretty much.

I'm glad that even though I waste a lot of time on social media apps, the biggest one is long form content on YouTube where I wanna learn something new and fun.

Arun!!! Please do a vid on 65square. They're a nonprofit social media company and they need the help. They are OPPOSITE of what you just talked about

I love when mrwhosetheboss talks about cool psychological tricks that app developers use ❤

0:40 this is exactly the reason i completely disabled the official facebook app on my phone (can't uninstall it cause samsung preinstalled it on my phone) and use a third party app where i have all notifications disabled, this way i can look at facebook whenever i feel like it and don't get sucked in with notifications

[BigBanji]

The first thing I do when I install an app is turning off notifications 😂

4:37 why did that feel like an ad intro???

[Ramham]

6:20 That is crazy way to keep way to engage the losing gamblers!
