@zoidpinhead social media in general thrive on negativity, because negativity brings interactions.
You can’t get a lot of response if everyone agrees with a topic. I think C’t (the German magazine dedicated to computers) published an article about that sad little fact that the algorythms these things use will only ever reinforce that. It’s why the entire internet can feel like one giant ball of negativity.

That is why it really is for the best to ditch as many social media as you can. Or at the very least get them of your mobile phone so you won’t be tempted by them. I’m so glad I ‘missed’ Twitter, Facebook and the like. It might explain why I simply don’t things like Instagram and Twitter. I prefer classic forums where you can good discussions and not be limited by the amount of stuff you rant about.

Anyways … on to the positive things.

As I commented on the thread below the XLBS … it’s the OTT Weekenders and XLBS I like for being so positive all of the time.
Especially when there’s a subject the guys really really like.

Rogue Hobbies … zero negativity and soo much positive energy it’s refreshing:

Then there’s creators like Laura Kampf, NerdForge, Ali Spagnola, Adam Savage, Simone Giertz, Colin Furze, Aging Wheels and Boylei Hobby Time. They make mistakes, but they’re never negative for the sake of being negative like so many youtubers appear to be. There’s probably a few I forgot, but that’s more because they don’t post as often.

It’s kind of why I avoid channels that engage with that clickbait negativity nonsense ( … ).

There’s times I do want to scream into the void. I’m trying to limit that, but I also know that I can’t bottle it up forever either.
Maybe all I need is a sound proof room with loads of destructable objects … but in the mean time videogames can do that job.
