How the Habits of Consuming Media are Actually Quite Like Shopping | Digital Detox, Episode #1

Описание: Welcome to the land of a million little timestamps and the first episode of my side-quest of DIGITAL DETOXING, limiting technology time, a new Tuesday series

0:00 hi, let's digital detox
0:09 Mars, bringer of WAR, because it's a war on technology (Gustav Holst)
0:14 the algorithm corrupts conscious consuming
0:30 this is the beginning of the "digital detox" series
1:36 back to the algorithm - it corrupts consuming and creating
2:12 the anecdotal cycle of what the algorithm has served me
2:55 it started out very consumerist
3:18 the era of fashion and beauty specific youtube
4:02 this led to sustainable and minimalist fashion content
4:19 foray into finances
4:29 and no-buy content
4:42 seeds of "conscious consumerism"
5:09 a swerve into productivity
5:38 reducing screentime and BRAIN ROT
6:21 landing back full circle with philosophy and classical music
7:21 the freedom to unsubscribe
7:54 the strangeness of parasocial relationships online
9:14 although there can still be some "warm fuzzies" in this community
9:38 when is it a parasocial relationship?
10:20 anyway back to the algorithm
10:47 and predatory information gathering
12:09 when we're emotionally vulnerable we might just take the algorithmic path
12:33 and the path then shapes US
12:49 we are exposed to ideas and products
13:09 we lose our free will?
13:34 we are manipulated, our attention becomes a purchase
14:09 yes there is some irony in making videos online
14:42 I'm still not used to being a "creator"
15:26 how consuming media has been similar to online shopping for me
15:52 "one last purchase/video"
16:29 the "watch later wishlist"
18:07 there's always more to want or seek
18:47 the feeling of FOMO
20:18 what I aim to provide with this "no buy" channel
21:15 we don't pay money for social media
21:55 questions we ask when we buy, or consume ideas
22:24 is there another goal I'm saving my time or money for
22:31 are we going to declutter?
22:55 maybe setting myself up for a mass exodus
23:24 it's time to reclaim control over my time
23:43 let me know if you've been thinking about this too
24:08 it's not all bad
24:44 I'm not anti-fun or comfort
25:46 postscript to daringly ask for constructive critique
