Just suggestion... I know it is good for marketing, clicks and all that stuff, but It would be much better to include episode number in the title... I had to check tabs a few times, then descriptions, then tab again until I figured what is first and what is the second episode. Plus I watched the first episode hour ago and the second one was announced for 3rd May. I managed it somehow but in this way, it would be hard to follow all related episodes. Now to mention for someone who just randomly finds the link a few months later. Btw. videos are great.

Thank you for doing this.

Brother we need systematic schedule

Jackleston not wrong, same here

True af brother. Finding about all this just now. Would've started a month and a half ago if i found this gem earlier.

Well if it makes you feel better. This video was published like a week ago. This stuff wasn't available at the beginning of quarentine. You and some of the other people watching are part of the first to watch it. Im sure part of why this is becoming popular is because people have gone through quarentine and can see themselves and how they've slipped. Don't worry too much man. You're doing good

Try not to regret that time. You had good fun and learned a lot. Now you've changed your behaviour there's no need to regret

@@nateriver1884 Damn, thanks a lot dude. I needed to hear that. I did have a lot of fun with friends in truth. Life changes though as well as people. I need to learn to accept that and just keep going with life. Thanks.

@@CalebHimself For me I'm 21, facing the realities of growing up and adulthood. Very much miss the days (2013 to 2018 mainly) of going home after school and hopping on Xbox with the lads. Black ops or minecraft or just by myself on Skyrim or Zelda. Back when i could waste hours on games and not care. And I don't really feel that time was wasted. I spent a lot of time on games but it's not literally allll I did. We went on the bikes a lot and in those later years (16 to 19) we started doing a Lot of other things, you can probably guess.. I can do now everything I didn't do then, and more. I'm nostalgic about those gaming days and I'm really glad I had them, even if I sometimes think I could have done other things more. I'm glad we had that and there's no need to regret. We got everything in front of us

Yup, we think "I'll be happy when I get ____", but when we get there it rarely feels as good as we think it will.

I can relate! It's the chase but when I achieve something I am like meh.

Thats exactly what many other content providers on youtube get wrong. Dopamine is the craving, the release is another set of chemicals, mostly opioids

Hello again...naturally :-)

Yeah is exactly why ads and billboards work usually you get happier of the idea of getting something rather than actually getting it, I dunno how many self-development books I've bought and been excited after hitting purchase only to get them a day later for them to sit on the shelve and do nothing

so why don't you get rid of it again and have an old cellphone? or just escape from all the social media or games that disturbs you and use only the useful tools (e.g. Google Maps)

Omg same😭😭😭😭

Haha! I lost access to internet during that time..

guess what

when I was about 16 i lost my phone. And I didn't ask anyone to buy me one, I was secretly being glad that no one could call me. Happiness :D

Thankyou for that that’s actually a good idea

Oh wow That's a good idea! I'm going to use my wrist watch again

Yea that’s a great idea

I like this!

To be honest, it never happened to me, but that sounds scary xD

This video is way too stretched out. Give us the method and let us do it.

@@InversePacman ahh yes, the most well researched video "crows are smarter than pigeons because they have more dopamine" does he have evidence based research? Nah. Does he have even the slightest background in psychology? Nah. Is he misrepresenting dopamine detox? Sure. Is it possible to detox your brain of dopamine? Nah

I didn't know there was an ad. AdBlocker Ultimate works.

I mean to be honest at this point, ads are terrifying

Right?😄 (me post warning) “😯ohh cool..?”

What are ads? UKposts Premium is worth it.

Ramesh Hansa Ravendra - Yes, the key is to lower the incredibly high levels of dopamine in our brain (change your homeostasis) so that your new behaviors bring you more desires and motivation (dopamine). m.ukposts.info/have/v-deo/cYGaeWOEaIKju58.html

M J, lol everything we do is for our cravings. Wow 😳

@David Amaya You're partially right. Yes, dopamine is important for motivation, but it's also a "happiness hormone" such are serotonin, oxytocin and endorphin

That’s what they want

I WAS LOOKING FOR IF ANYBODY NOTICED AHAHA.

Probably he meant to say it that way, since the abbreviation for video is vid

Yup, that is behind the scenes knowledge (and example) of how theses videos are edited and filmed.

@@austing.8517 ...uhmm

I think he was 2nd guessing whether or not to tell people to ask their friends to help them by sharing this video. (instead of asking people to just help them, regardless of showing them this video or not.) He might have left it in on purpose as a middle ground.

Incredible!

Congratulations! Might be time to get out of Andrew tho ;)

@@Allride_ criminally underrated comment.

Do you feel different now?

I found quitting on porn easy: All that is needed is to stay aware that you're watching others doing things that you instead could be doing yourself. If that fails: Imagine the girl (or boy in case you're not straight) being your partner and cheating on you.

fuck just realised XD

Love this idea, I was just inspired to make a video about this on my channel! Probably without the ubisoft ad though!

I actually already like to take 15 minute breaks from YT and stuff like that I think i may actually be getting a little bored of this stuff anyhow, which is amazing (I've already had periods of time where i had no idea what i felt like doing even though i had all the options available)

@@spartanwar1185 Unless you actually spend the free time well, it isn't necessarily a good thing. Your dopamine standards might just be too high even to enjoy the instant hits.

It's kinda pissing me off that I have to go through a series of videos just so I know what the fuck I'm supposed to do, he could've added all of this information into one video.

Pretty sure that has nothing to do with dopamine he did repeat a few things throughout the vid.

Thanks for the support Nathan.

Remember that we are all human prone to the same things. The only difference is that we are aware of our situation, I hope one day everyone realizes their potential and we are able to move forward as a species.

YOU are indeed average! Why should YOU be something better than others?

Yet his explanation gives people the wrong understanding of the Dopamine and how it works.

nice comment bro, keep informing people like that!

Nice, thank you

Bravo

Thank you! Keep sharing this kind of information.

You are partially correct. Here's the bigger picture which in my view, dismantles the idea of a "dopamine detox"... He doesn't understand neurotransmission. He's parroting social media oversimplification of the brain. His goal is good, but his info is wrong. Here's the truth. Sorry it's long. Dopamine is one of over 100 identified neurotransmitters. It's also not just a reward neurotransmitter. Every neurotransmitter can transmit 4 or more different messages...not just one. And neurotransmitters have different receptor sites which have different functions. For example GABAa, GABAb, GABAc...for the neurotransmitter GABA. Then there are also subcategories of those different receptor sites. So dopamine has millions of receptor sites, with multiple sub-receptor sites at each primary site, each sub-receptor site capable of getting 4 or more different messages. Times that by 100 types of neurotransmitters across 100 synaptic sites (not synapses, the receptor sites in the synapse connections) on each dendrite with 40+ dendrites per neuron...100 billion neurons. If you alter one neurotransmitter, all the others readjust to maintain homeostasis. The systems that capitalize on our reward responses don't just use dopamine influence. They capitalize on a cascade of changes that also involve hormones. It's all one very complex system involving neurotransmitters, hormones, and synaptic growth/pruning. You've heard of oxytocin being the bonding hormone? Then why at higher amounts does it cause violence instead of stronger cuddles? And it does cause violence...unrelated to any person. Higher serotonin, the "happy" neurotransmitter, can cause depression...but it also lowers anxiety. How can it do that if it just makes you happy? Acetylcholine, the "stimulating" neurotransmitter, causes lack of focus/hyperactivity if too LOW. How? It's stimulating. So it should make you hyperactive if it's too high, right? Histamine makes your skin itch, but it's neurotransmitter. How can it do that if it just makes your skin itch? Neuroscience is far more complex than "dopamine is the reward neurotransmitter". You can't do a dopamine detox. It's impossible. You are doing a stimulation reset. Even that stimulation reset is short term. You brain has physically rewired to the stimulation. It has grown new connections and pruned away others. Receptor sites for the dopamine are now missing in some parts and overgrown in others...in addition to the downregulation of the receptors that you noted. This detox idea is garbage. It will take a while for the brain to reset from problematic behaviors and unhealthy environments. It will require people to work at it. Likely for months or over a year. He is setting people up for failure by focusing on dopamine. You don't fix a car's engine by just changing the type of gasoline (petrol).

I understand why you feel lile that, because we only se the bad muslims :/ wish i could do something about it but the only thing i can do is be a good human and a muslim😁 wish you the best man.

not a muslim but i that ramadam is one of the best things you can do

@@Fierce77551 you don't get enough love, do you?

I definitely agree with you, in ramadan i feel very secure and calm from the inside. Also when i invest parts of my day in prayers and athkhar and reading Quran, and staying away from social media. It really helps. And now i’ll be trying to detox, and put focus on my reading and working. And getting my stability from prayers and the Quran. Itwarmed my heart to know you are a part of the religion by conversion. May Allah bless you.

D. I interpreted it is him making a point that he is not making the videos purely* for personal gain or channel growth, but really being honest that these tips are best implemented using the resources that his viewers have already. *EDIT

Julia Steinweh-Adler of course it’s for personal gain and channel growth, he’s making his living out of this probably. He’s just a good guy at the same time

Julia Steinweh-Adler watch the video at 10:40 before you comment smartass. He repeats himself

Marcus Sörensen woah there, I’m aware of that he repeats himself. In fact, that repetition is exactly what I was discussing. I just shared my interpretation. Obviously my point is speculation and obviously we are all trying to make a living doing what we can. Even if I am wrong and it was just an editing mistake, there’s really no need to be rude.

you quite literally just negated the whole entire premise of this video by giving instant gratification and info instead of paying attention and listening carefully for advice and why this happens

Not all heroes wear capes.

zesty notsalty but if you really want to detox, you could just use your time efficiently to go to the main part of the video and actively fo the advice in real life instead of watching this whole video (which the creator himself uses a lot of words instead of just going straight to the point)
