Treat the Internet Like Real Life

The Internet is... serious business!

You're required to express thanksgiving in the comments for getting a new Shingo video on Thanksgiving.

EXTREME levels of COLLAB-O-RATION with my good friend and ally, @ment4ll disease.

Special thanks to Trusted E-Doktor @gligar for psychological insights and wellness training.

1. Never take the internet seriously.
2. Have self-awareness on your own opinions.
3. Stay out of bad takes/dumb arguments.
4. Have self-control; If you use the internet, don't use it for more than 4 hours per day (The internet, not the computer, because it is understandable if you make a living).
5. Follow and understand the rules of every site you visit, just like reading the manual before you drive a new car.

If you follow all of these rules, you will never end up like @gligar , @SkibidiCoffee , or @WIZZ (All of whom break at least one of these points consistently).

Soooooooo many good points made in this video that have me shaking from all the truth nukes. Just like real life websites were smaller and more diverse (or gatekept for good reason) The major social medias we have now are just a cesspit of morons who argue with each other doing things that make them unhappy.
As much as I love the internet I only talk to people I like, about subjects I like and avoid unnecessary arguments because most people online are not worth my time (if you dont like me why do you bother saying so lmao)

Sadly I still use Twitter and Bluesky but I try to stay within my lane and dont try to make "hit tweets" like so many users try to do (and fail)

Really good video and I hope more peeps take heed your article!

i had the displeasure of being the developer on a twitter clone once. thankfully it never even got finished because our leadership was completely incompetent. can't imagine having a cesspit of our very own if it actually went anywhere

@madarao There've been a lot of those over time, and they all face the same fate. That's more a result of the people who make them than the format itself, although the format will never be good.

@quobe256 @ment4ll did the 3D and edited the majority of the video. Normally I edit my own, but this was a collaboration

The Internet will definitely only get worse. People will always find a way to make the most profit, suck the creativity out more and more, and make good shit harder to find. I never understood why people who don't have any passion in making anything make it their dream to become a content creator. I guess making bullshit with no value to put on in the background is a skill, and that's the most money they can make doing anything. I just wish they would get a regular job and leave content creation to people who actually enjoy making videos with something to say.

But complaining about it will only get you so far. It's obvious it isn't going to change, so you have to seek out the things you like. It might take a day or two, but these algorithms work if you put in effort to tell it what you aren't interested in. And whatever happened to searching out stuff yourself? People complain so much about stuff they're being served without having to do anything.

@shingo You might be right. I feel like MrBeast was once genuinely interested in making videos, but at some point he completely took out whatever passion there was and just sees it as a system to take advantage of as many ways as he can. he is passionate about that, when others speak of him, they say he knows a lot about the history of YouTube, and he has mastered the algorithm, but the videos themselves could be about anything and he would do them because that is what the system has changed into, not because he likes that stuff. So many people have been inspired by that strange man and I think it definitely creates fewer enjoyable videos... but like I said, there's always something good to find so there's no real result in complaining

That was low key insane. Very 90s. Way too much going on for my taste though.

You had the Muslim in there. I thought you met him over in my comment section. Are there like only 3 people on this platform?

@callisoncaffrey you had an encounter with the village idiot. he watches and comments on everything, and can't help but type entire books in the comments. there are only a few hundred videos uploaded every day, so it's easy to watch all the highlights daily.

there are tens of thousands of users on this website, but I'd guess only a few thousand are actually active. the site is small enough to where there are familiar faces you'll see around, kind of like a small town

I dont think microblogging is inherently bad. Nothing wrong with spending 12+ hours on the internet either, its a hobby like every other hobby.

One of the worst things on the Internet are Top 10 lists and Video "essays". Why waste bandwidth when a written article will do?

@Fortood Fair point, and thats a very real problem...but this isnt that. This is a well made 13 and a half minute video that gets to the point while still having some depth, not a 2+ hour jewtube video talking about the origin of an old gif or some lolcow movie nobody cares about. Also, shingo made the writeup FIRST, so this video acts as a bonus for those who want to watch instead of read, for better or worse. You could do much worse. Personally I think shingo and shystudios are the few people who are actually good at it and add some level of value to it, but who knows, maybe I'm just a cock sucker. You be the judge.

I decided to dig up this account just to leave a comment because i liked this video too much.

I don't use social media that much apart from watching youtube videos of people roasting old games source codes and chatting to a small circle of friends. Mostly because the internet nowadays is fucking boring, you would get a better chatting experience talking to a fucking ai than most of the people that you see on the "Big" sites.
