We tweet, we like, and we share- but what are the consequences of our growing dependence on social media? As digital platforms increasingly become a lifeline to stay connected, Silicon Valley insiders reveal how social media is reprogramming civilization by exposing what’s hiding on the other side of your screen.
"Sad generation with happy pictures".
"We are the saddest generation with the happiest pictures" he means
Isn’t that a truth
Very true 👍
All we can do is spread the word to the 🐎 that drinks👍💯
Uff its truth
"Social media is a drug" so glad someone said that.
The true epidemic
This youtube is more addictive than social media
You tube IS social media !!
Not if you understand you have the power to step on the brake pedal.
It's also a social media site🤦♂️
I Totally agree with you 👍👍
„They are completely clueless.“
This not being promoted by KZhead to everyone’s feed proves this movie is speaking truth even more.
Nah its full of 💩 ... and i knew it was full of 💩 ; when the main fella on it said (out of all social media) he was addicted to email Liar. No you're not. Nobody is. May it be cos it happens to be the one thing that connects them all together and you wanna push your own website at the end? The whole "documentary" is a 2 hour advert. Absolute 💩
Social media is deffo a problem, but this documentary has hidden agendas
Agreed with all of you.
@@ohrightok9750 can you tell me one of the possible hidden agendas? Just curious.
@@allenjeffongcoy5456 yeah sure - to promote their own website Cant remember its name - but alot of the people interviewed in the doc, are founders to a new social media, theyre trying to push - one without all the things they slag off during the doc
As a Gen Z, (born 1998), this documentary is important, social media really screwed us as a generation up
And whenever they're shown literal scientific and real proof that sitting on your phone 24/7 isn't healthy, they say "ok boomer" and ignore it. That level of ignorance towards your own self is horrifying
Yeah👍. U r right.
@@dawidek4267 i'ma gen z also 1999, havent used social media over year and a half, i was told i went nuts , you wouldn't believe how they treat their own friends and force you to stay on social media , it just got to the point where theres nothing more valuable in their life but profiles on internet.
@@dariomarkovic4234 Honestly I was guy who never used social media before. My father prohibited television at the age of 4. Never had phones to use. And I was totally a Not so social guy. I was stupid and nobody ever talked to me as I knew nothing other than what's happening in my house. But now I started using social media, Instagram, FB and I started making real friends (Not that friends button) with a lot more people now. I started becoming more social and positive because of social media. I don't know what so fuss about this?🤷♀️
@@angeloj3139 I'm not saying there aren't some benefits to social media, the problem is they all run a model based off addiction
My mind is completely blown! I have since deactivated my Facebook and Instagram. It’s crazy they want you to be a pure zombie to your phone. It is serially a horror movie to humans.
I been off fb for about 4 months now. I just got back on today and found this trailer. Im deactivating fb again it's useless in my everyday reality and i been scrolling on fb for about 3 hours in between cooking and house chores/family life. I dont like it. I'd rather be present with my family. I remember why i deactivated it in the 1st place. The only thing i like on fb are the groups. But im still deactivating tonight.
@@emilialopez7173 Well I just uninstall ig and fb from my phone and use them only in my laptop because they did affect my time like I wasted a lot of my time by scrolling through fb and ig :/
@@atirahyasim981 yea i did the same. I have to sit at my comp to get on social media. And that keeps me from scrolling or going down internet rabbit holes lol.
Sorry man we are already that's why we are commenting😭😭
TV is no better
I have leaved social media since 4 years but youtube is more addictive but learned many things that I couldn't learn in my whole school life and colledge life
And I thought I was crazy for NOT using Social Media
Cam relate
I still feel insecure that I m not social enough because I don't use social media
Ur on it
@@ethanelectric1024 i meant the main ones like Instagram, Facebook etc.
@@Airestotle09 ur definitely not crazy
I would add, the worst thing with social media is it's essentially a popularity ranking system. Most people look at the amount of likes or followers a person has when deciding if they're cool. If a picture has 1000 likes as opposed to 3, the person is going to think, "they must be cool = I'll like that picture too, or they're cool." If a person has 3 likes or very little followers they'll believe that person isn't "cool" or popular and won't feel as inclined to "like" pictures or follower etc. People are just that simple. They don't think for themselves. They're social creatures that look to one another to rank each other and make decisions. That's why we have a generation of thoughtless zombie copycats. It's absolutely pathetic. Keep taking selfies! 🤢
Well social proof and social validation has its root from evolutionary psycology lol it's something you are biologically neurologically and psychologically wired.
Just quit Facebook, you DON'T NEED IT!
I already did it
It’s not about Facebook. It’s about TikTok like am obsessed 😃🤚

This documentary should be shown to children in all schools across the world every year so that they dont forget this lesson before it takes over their lives. I wish it was shown to us before.
Me watching it for my college English class
no one wants to listen.
Thank you for Social Dilemma. I tried to tell my millennium son, ten years ago to this addiction. Now at 22 he said he watched this documentary and said I was right a decade ago. It took these genuineness's from Google, Instagram, and Twitter to convince him. Maybe it is not too late, but I doubt it. When you are addicted, you deny.
He's a Gen Z, not a millennial (I'm of the same age)
I'm 21 tomorrow and we're Gen Z
He's not a Millennial if he's 22 years of age. He's a part of the overly pretentious, incredibly gullible, insanely naive/moronic, massively narcissistic, habitually trendy and douchey, sick-in-the-head Generation Z.
7 yrs ago, I was talking with my grandfather and I realized what I was missing something by using social media Same day I deleted most of the social media apps And I can see a different world I guess. But now I've got the addiction of KZhead
Ravi Tiwari this is somehow the perfect comment
I am in the same boat. And my quitting my phone for a happier existence does not just depend on me. I only quit to realise that everyone around me is hooked and doesn't have time for a slower paced life with better relationships
I wish i could quit the phone. Nowadays most of jobs require whatsapp/telegram for communication.

He meant it to spread positivity, but ended up becoming people's validation. Sometimes no matter how much good intention we have, if it'll be used too much and abused, it will defeat its purpose.
everything has it's pros and cons but in real life cons, fake news and rumors spread faster than pros
They didn't think it would cause depression, it says in the movie
Flip phone is a wise phone!
Flip phone was so stoic and nonjudgmental....
guess I'm gonna buy that
It’s to late. The damage is done.
bro, I'm freaking out, 4 real
Its not to late
It’s not too late lol
we should still try
I agree...how can you change the fabric of society now? You would have to completely destroy the internet. I agree we should try..but things look bleak.
I realised a thing while watching this documentary that these social media use the basic law of universe like you will get to see more of what you react more and keeps you hooked and charged up. It actually happens in real life. For example, People who are focused more and 'react' more upon the positive aspects of life will manifest more positives and happiness from life, and vice versa. Social media does a bit the same thing. It maybe a wrong analogy in various cases though... 😅😆
to put into very short, ''Where your awareness goes, there your energy flows and the energy that you spent, will manifest in your life''. -- By Guru Dandapani.'
Okay you were talking about google, facebook, Instagram, pinterest, snapchat and many more platform. What about Netflix? What about yourself?
👏🏾
Netflix isnt social media its a film streaming system its not social media read a book
@@Joe_TW7 you're right sir, this trailer mainly focuses on social dilemma which occurs from spending more time on social network and spending less time in real society (if I'm not wrong). Netflix isn't a social networking platform like fb, twitter and else but it also passively participating in creating social dilemma. My point was based on this.
I mean, without Netflix, we wouldn't even have this movie in the first place 🤣🤣🤣
@Santana Garcia I may not be able to elaborate on this particular matter in detail, but I can state a few possibilities. Recommendations/suggestions generally based on one's previous watch history, search history, content skipping and etc. These data are stored to provide one a better experience on the platform. Storing and maintaining this data comes with expense. I have no solid proof to back the following - "data may be sold to ad agency/business profile to generate profits. These agencies generate advertisements based on huge number of users interest. And then ads are shown to other platforms. To make them 'ad-free', we, users have to pay for it." As I mentioned earlier, I have no proof whether netflix does this or not. It can be a possibility. And AI technology as you mentioned, sounds very intriguing to us. But it is predicting human behaviour, and by time it is close to 'imitating' us. And physical impact - it becomes addicting because of wide and diverse set of choices. At start you tube also started as video library/streaming platform. 15 years later, look where it is now.
One of the realest movies i ever saw
Social media: it started fun Netflix: nah. Y’all we gonna show the truth
it's a documentary but agree it's realistic
Technology is backbone for human being's, complete comfort we find and define, people won't stop communicating each other, literally it became our nervous system😎
Sadly people think you are dying whenever you quit social media for so long.
Right
Netflix is exactly the same, since they removed the 'Stars indicator' for the public's indication of perceived quality of a movie. Now they only show whether they think that you'll like it or not with a percentage which Netflix controls, so they are playing with you.
yeah we live in a world of paradoxes
Why would they share this video ?
Netflix was late I've already shutdown most of my social media accounts except when it related to business.
Four years ago, on my birthday, I gave myself the gift of going vegan (wish I made that decision earlier). Today, on my birthday, I'm giving myself an equally profound and positive gift: I am deleting (permanently, not just disabling) my FB account. After watching this, I have a feeling, I'll miss it as much as I miss putting body parts of defenceless little animals on my plate.
Congratulations on going vegan. I did it thirteen years ago. But I remain addicted to Facebook.

“Whoever controls the media, controls the mind”. Jim Morrison
That's one of best Documentary. And an Eye Opening show❤️ It's must watch.
This documentary gave me hope. A rare thing to find these days.
Very interesting and unsettling documentary. However, like most documentaries, they fall short by only focusing on one side. It would be interesting to hear the contributors take on what to do now since the internet and “social media” is not going away? Are the positives outweighing the negatives? Do we maybe have more control than they think? But wow, this really does hit on the gravity of the problem. I never thought about how AI is at work right NOW. How do we stabilize from here or are we just on think ice as the glaziers are melting (if you even believe that)
While true, it's not going away.. We as a society do need to have a conversation about how to redesign social media
I was born in 1986. So my childhood was free from this internet disease. It was full of playing outside, stories from grandparents, happy times with mum paa and siblings. I remember talking to my sister till as late as 3 am in the night. In summers v used to sleep on roof. ...watching stars. Television was there but with great content such as b r Chopra's mahabharat and many other religious stories. Same was teenage.....favorite songs on radio. Best friends in neighborhoods. Cousins staying together in summer vacation. I so badly miss those days. This world where everyone is just lost in their mobiles....its indeed a sad world with good smiling pictures
Ok thanks Jamie and Eric for recommending me to watch this.. This is really a real movie
This is such a great documentary....tell people about it educate them & yourself... Specially educate little children & teens who are being trapped inside it
just don't expose children to social media, and teach them why they don't need it for life.
I am not on social media....but addicted to KZhead....like too muchh...
That's the problem with many people dana dhar
@@MO-fg2cm yeah....
if you watched it on netflix, they also included youtube as one of the platforms that can ruin people. they explained how they created your addiction on youtube
just leave FB. find something better to do
My last girlfriend was so addicted to social media, it essentially ruined our relationship. Especially our evenings and weekends. She was like Pavlov’s Dog every time her phone made a noise. On the very rare occasions where I convinced her to turn off the phone…her phone was all she could talk about.
Wow, that’s so sad :(
Naw, I'm sad because everything is expensive now... Also... I think 'censorship' is what makes things more polarizing. Seeing other sides, and talking to them makes me sympathetic to all.
Its not the technology which is wrong, its the users. People always find ways to misuse the technology and no matter how hard the companies try to stop the misuse its very very difficult until people are into this idea.
except...it's the very companies that created this technology that are abusing it for their own profits/agendas... (as well as random people)
Yeah and these companies comply with users such as governments for their propaganda
Facebook isn’t trying to stop misuse. They’re encouraging and profiting from it.
I used to believe that too until I watched the doco. They explain how the very issue is the end goal of AI which is making money therefore trying to keep you on your phone as much as it can . A tool just patiently wait to be use , like a bike or a pen. Social media bombards you with notifications and dopamine rushing tricks to have you coming back constantly. It was a tool at first but it took over and has become very smart at making us addicts
It is technology bro . They have designed this the way it is mass effective
I have watched this video for Infinity times still entertainment
This documentary is not about not participating. It is not about one platform being better than another. It is about AI and what you as an individual participate in. When you use a platform, you are being tested and measured every day based on what you do. If you only ever read news from the platforms you participate in online, you will only ever be fed information that will make you use the platform. It is not the platforms evil, but the evil caused by the AI in the platform. It does not care who you are but what will make you keep coming back. It will continue to test you to see what will make you interact. If that is miss-information, it will feed more. Learn to find different media outlets with information even when it contradicts your opinion so that you can build your own opinion. If everything you believe was written by someone in any media outlet, you don't really have an opinion. If you repeat what you heard, you don't have an opinion.
There is no such thing as misinformation.
Care to elaborate Vicki?
*I never used Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.*
How did you get here if not through Google?
i don't know i've not seen anything new this has been known for years, if you can't put the phone down its your problem not facebooks i think
Did you watch the movie? They go into detail about how Facebook and other media’s purposefully keeps people hooked.
@@NoExpert yeah man i fully understand you. its disgusting how dumb people became. since 2013 its publicly known that they track everything and 8 years later people still dont get it...

I mean what can we do now?? Social media platforms aren’t going nowhere, things are about to get worse.
It's been three years I am off the Facebook. Just using Instagram these days and when ever I feel it's getting into my head to much I deactivate and stay away from it for months. Not craving for like, enjoying cooking, reading books gardening etc. I realised that all these social media platform sucks..I used to put phrases from books and sometimes I also used to upload photos of mine and I observed that there were always and always more likes to my personal photographs that my paintings, my garden images or anything apart from me present in the picture! Sad it was.

I dont know, when I stop using fb for a while, I feel better and I have a lot of time for MYSELF
The sad part is everything that happen on these app can be stopped before it happens weather good or bad

Okay but like...i'm FREAKING OUT RN someone tell mee what do i have to do exactly!!!!!
Firstly learn the art of having peaceful mind..(doing meditation and yoga can be helpful) and then do the following: 1) Turn off all the notifications 2) Get a scheduled time for how much time do you want to give to your devices(i think not more than 1 to 1:30 hour) 3) Hangout with family and friends physically not by messaging 4) Do not use it if you are spending time with your family 5) If you're not in working profession and do not have any useful work of these apps then you can quit it 6) Learn everyday and explore things all the time and gain experiences, trust me it's worth it 7) If you're not able to control yourself then you're still stuck with your dynamic state of mind, peaceful mind is very important and it takes time, with your efforts you can gain it See my friend idk where you are, but come out of your house for a sec and see how beautiful the world is, see the plants, animals, birds, sky, no human made things can even compete with nature and it's worth it, hope it helps
turn off notifications
learn a new real world outside hobby like riding motorcycle, skate, bicycles like a kid. and get a job. that dont need social media.
the only thing that scars me!
So either everyone in this documentary is lying, or this is the greatest epidemic of our generation
I don't believe this documentary is a lie. Its so real
@@waterproof4403 how can they be lying? I can literally see the apps sending me extra notifications when I haven’t gone on in awhile, and the ads being refined based on what I’ve been looking at/researching/talking about… It’s crazy
