terrifying but a good thing to realize!

I stay away from social media as much as I can. Only have Twitter for collaboration inquiries and that's pretty much it.

the social dilemma was SO GOOD. I was already scaling back my social media consumption and now I’ll likely be scaling back even more! But that’s fine- more time for activities

I watched it too. I ALMOST deleted every damn thing! Scares the shit out of me!

Yes, but I wouldn’t phrase it as “stalking” more manipulating you to stay on that platform, manipulating you to think that way.

Dan Hot Guy Content Howell

The algorithm solidifying beliefs thing!! So true!I feel like everyone who has a crazy belief is only always served things that make it seem more real. I literally remember talking to someone who was into Trump (we were arguing about it) and I was shocked at some of the things he had seen in the news or on social media. I was like “I think we’ve been seeing different things....because that’s not true lol”

Really loving the fact that your videos fully stopped appearing in my recommendations for years, and only resurfaced a few weeks ago. Don't know what's going on there. Do not like it. I can't tell the difference between channels I'm subscribed to and those I watched half a video from, they show up with the same frequency. The adverts have gone from irritating to insufferable. I am beginning to suspect that they're trying to kill KZread. It's all very worrying.

TYLER. I literally watched this yesterday and Facebook recommended this vid straight away, seems like my algorithm is quite on point. I feel like these trillion dollar companies really do need a revamp on their purpose. What’s scary is that they have all this information and they could use this info with bad intent, revamp the purpose and I think we’d see a drastic change is the way people use social media.

I really loved the Social Dilemma because it really brought forward what Edward Snowden told us years ago, but now with these people we can associate with. I think the downside is that they kind of ended it off by saying the real world is out there, without really acknowledging that it's Covid times and it's not really possible to meet new people irl. I struggled to meet people before these times.

Yikes...I might have to watch this so I can be more aware of what’s going on. Thanks for telling us about this, Tyler.

I watched it a week ago and I have been trying to share it with the people around me. I am so glad to see someone with a big platform talk about it! Thank you so much for using your platform for good this is one of the many topics people should raise more awareness.

Isn’t it funny that Tyler watched a documentary on a platform with the recommendation algorithm that instilled in him the idea to share with others not to believe everything the algorithm puts in front of them... I’m glad that this documentary is raising awareness of this issue and the fact that it came into public awareness so strongly and quickly is support for its own argument!

I've always wondered why your recent videos are always somewhat short time-wise, but when you brought it up in this video I really respect your decision to do that. this documentary really opened my eyes to a lot of dark truths about social media. now I'm really aware that I am in favor of introducing some kind of legislative regulations for social media standards/layouts for the sake of this country, humanity itself, and the future of this planet.

I watched the documentary, it reinforced some anxiety I had about social media but also gave me a lot more to think about. Honestly, is it is too late to just not have the Internet? Is that possible? Will we survive? Who knows. Anyway Tyler, I'm glad you made a video about it. Your videos feel like a warm hug.

I already knew I was being stalked haha, I say something about a certain product in casual conversations and suddenly, like 5 minutes later I get an ad on my phone for that product...

I would love to see a deep dive with you and one of the documentary's creators. Thanks as always for the great content! 💖

I just graduated with a BA with a minor in journalism, and I had to take a social media class that discussed how people are impacted by social media and what it looks like to interact with it without being trapped by it. We listened to tons of discussions from Tristan Harris, and I found it so absolutely necessary for our generation. Wish more people would think critically about what we consume, how we consume it, where we consume it and why we consume certain things over others. Now more than ever people have to be conscious with our decisions and the implications it leaves us with.

Just wanna say that I love you forever Tyler. Thanks for always being yourself ♥️

today has been the absolute worst for me with issues at home and just thank u i needed this video today, i need this escape

So change the algorithm. Look at some opera or chemistry, or something entirely not characteristic of you. Start watching pro-Trump videos or Biden spots. Confuse the shit out of them. You can change and confuse the algorithm. So on any give day I might be a new mother, a Q anon supporter, a Jewish rabbi, a trans teacher or maybe non binary barbie doll.

The way I see it is social media removes the need for one to truly think for themselves and form their own values and beliefs. The removal of think for one's self is truly terrifying to even consider. I choose to avoid social media as much as I can to keep my values and beliefs my own.

I see more and more people start to talk about this so I think the conversation is gradually starting up. I feel like as a people we have to start demanding boundaries for this sort of stuff from our governments so that these giants will have to abide by them. I feel like we'd be off much stronger as a whole if we weren't cooped up all the time with this stuff. Really nice video Tyler and I think too that it'd be mad interesting to see you have a deeper discussion about this with one of those people.

I’ve slowly started to phase out social media over the last 3 years. After all the speculation around what happened in 2016, I realized how much of a problem it was. Plus it’s always creeped me out how much they know about us, but we are all in one way or another contributing to the problem. In California I believe you can opt out of them selling your data. We need that at a federal level. Now if you add stuff like Clearview AI into that mix it makes you realized how truly non existent our privacy is anymore because current technology. It’s a double edge sword.

Great video. I had already watched the documentary and loved it. I just wanted to point out that creators like you are not really the problem. The problem are people who share fake news and/or sell opinions as facts. As long as you make sure that what you say is not some conspiracy theory full of correlations and no facts its okay and really helpful

The book 1984 predicted that nothing was gonna be private and hasnt been for a long time and as the book says "big brother is always watching"

For those interested, Destin from SmarterEveryDay made a 3 video series about social media manipulation on different platforms. One of the guests in his series was also in the documentary. I think another very important takeaway was how strongly some the people being interviewed felt about not letting their children use social media. I think those pulling the strings have been very effective in using echo chambers to stoke the current political fires, especially surrounding BLM, protests, and the pandemic.

I believe it. We gotta stand together!

READ THEM AS ME SCREAMING

I left all social media except youtube and discord (if you count discord as social media) in January. I feel so much better now that I am off it and I am pretty careful with the people I do follow on youtube and never look at the suggestions or recommended for me stuff because, I have enough youtube to get caught up on from channels I already care about. Idk, I definitely think that more regulation is needed just because of the insane amount of influence social media platforms hold

Yeah I notice it on KZread a lot, click on a wrong video on accident get reminded for the next half year because videos like it get recommended. Also it wants me to rewatch videos. Like no! I already watched that video 3 months ago

Queeeennn. Love you!!! 🧡

yeah we really do be living in echo chambers. i think one of the most important things to do to improve the world is to try to break out of our own echo chambers by engaging with content we don't agree with because that will also be breaking into other people's echo chambers so it's a win win
