Film Theory: How YouTube BROKE Your Brain!

Film and Animation

*SUBSCRIBE to Film Theory!* Don't miss a Film Theory! ► https://www.youtube.com/@FilmTheory/?sub_confirmation=1 YouTube has fundamentally changed the way that we consume media. But they’re not the _only_ culprits; no, TikTok, Netflix, Disney, and the rest of the media industrial complex are ALL to blame. You see, loyal Theorist, our demand for viewing all of this content is actually leading us down a bad road to loneliness and depression.

About 1-2 weeks ago, I had casual small talk with someone else who liked Taylor Swift. That’s the first time I ever made small talk with a stranger. I LOVED it, I felt so.. not-alone.

Honestly, I’ve felt so burnt out by just watching videos and listening to music ever since covid. I have truly felt so alone and honestly this video truly gives me hope that maybe there will be change in the world

Honestly….thank you matpat, I’m so glad you talked about this because it’s a real problem and us, the younger generation NEEDS to do SOMETHING. I’m glad a big platform like film theory talked about this.

I did not know what to expect, seeing such a serious topic on your channel. But I have to say I am pleasantly surprised! You did a great job!

3:20 This is so true! I watch YouTube on multiple accounts to better tell the algorithm what I am in the mood for. This one is more for science and some light Minecraft humor but if I want to watch something else I do it on a different account (or even incognito) so that it doesn't mess up my preferences and when I accidentally click on a random video it corrupts it.

I clicked this video because I wanted something to watch/listen to while eating my leftover spaghetti, but after a bit of realizing how deep everything in this actually struck I just. sat there in awe of all the realization and how true it all is- it all went deeper than I wanted to go, but dude I kinda needed that. This broke more than my brain, man.

I have noticed that the video game community is very strong and has a huge following. Gamers have a lot to talk about and share in common with FNAF, Zelda, baldurs gate and so many other great titles. It really is awesome to be able to touch base with so many gamers and share something in common. They might not be where you are in the game, but at least it’s nice to be able to talk about it.
