Truth, I checked up on some old KZreadrs I used to follow in the self-development niche, the winners made bank and quit the game, bought a house in Bali or something. The ones that are still around making the same content after yeatrs are the losers.
It's easy to quit social media. I've done it a hundred times.

I love how techlead breaks things down. That jesus christ example is just one of many examples where techlead makes my jaw drop and I have to rewind it to really soak in what he just said. Yet, comments like mine are proof of what he's talking about. We still sit here, watch this guys videos, and we continue to do nothing with the information we received. We continue to live mediocre lives although we have an abundance of knowledge at our fingertips.
Techlead says he’s quitting social media in every social media post. 😂
He quits again? Man I love quitters 💯

I spend hours and hours of my day watching videos on Instagram KZread etc. Not including articles i always read of news or on Twitter. I get hundreds of Likes on my comments but at the end of the day i feel like What was the point. I wasted so much of my time commenting and stealing memes. I gained Nothing but lost time. So fine.

great, you made me watch a 9 min ad of your new course
Making a video on social media saying you quit social media. 😆 lol
You are absolutely right brother! Too much talk on social media. Talk with this and that person, form a group chat, nonstop advertisements, silly and hopeless notifications on and on and on. So sickning and tiresome and the server keeps interrupting your internet access, so sickning, this social media is the real downfall of mankind.
Isn't KZread part of social media...
If you watch with the sound off, Tech Lead gives a free masterclass in the value of chosing a location with a variety of interesting backgrounds and also how to use a selfie stick as a kind of do-it-yourself cameraman.
Your talk really resonated with me. 🎉. I’m not much on social media. I have been in tech along time. Best talk I’ve heard in so long.

WORDS CAN ONLY TEAR US APART
The reason why people aren't taking your advice .... is because you don't have a LAMBO in your background. 🚙 As soon as you fix those optics - all of sudden you'll notice people will listen to everything you say as gold. Sad truth about the world.
Thank you for this video. I can't help but notice patterns, just it's like a circle again as well as a bell curve. The unaware don't 'use' social media, those who think their aware 'use' social media, and those who are truly aware don't 'use' social media
Nobody wants 3 hour podcasts, they want 10-20 minute ones, it's the guys who make them that turn everything into long winded drivel. It's a sales thing - look how much content you get. Began with books becoming thicker, courses on CDs being 20 disks to make you believe you were getting more knowledge, when all self help ever written would fit on a 100 pages if it was properly edited.

I hear you. There are some quality words being put forth, but there's also a lot of complaining, punishing, doom-gloom, negativity that leads to nihilism, and it gets in the way of LIVING - discovery - exploration - adventure - creativity - real problem solving - connection - LIFE.
