I'm a big YouTube addict, but I dropped social media well before that was cool.

I've felt quite disconnected from folks I knew, and I presume they feel like I've pulled away. Sounds like this is kind of similar, you end up feeling a bit disconnected? Doesn't sound all that bad, but I get what you mean - you feel isolated.

I've learned incredible amounts of things with YouTube - I curate it like a madman, but overall I'm still not sure it's a good thing. Corporations just tend to end up eating their customers eventually.

I’ve kept YouTube on the tv but avoid it on mobile. Theres a lot of great stuff on the site that inspires projects and ideas for myself.

I do have to resist watching all the product review videos which are essentially just ads.
