"I realized this is what I was doing on my IG stories, except, I was showing this stuff to the whole world, and I don’t have to." I definitely need to watch this video, because this is a thought I had many years ago about Facebook! I used to wildly overshare the way I think a lot of people did when I was in my early 20s, on basically every platform. Mostly Facebook, but also Snapchat, Tumblr, and eventually Instagram. I do like sharing things with people and seeing into my friends' lives, but I got to a point where I was like, why am I sharing ALL of this, though? Why do I feel like I have to document literally everything online? I feel like this video will be super interesting! Appreciating all the video essay recs, I love a good video essay.
If you'd asked me what I needed to hear today, my first guess wouldn't have been a YouTuber I don't recognize yelling at me about perfectionism through the lens of a show I've never seen but damn, that was spot on. Thanks for the rec!
yesss it makes so much sense, like how I now drink flavored seltzer obsessively to keep myself from drinking alcohol. we need a seltzer replacement for social media apps.
