The Complete Guide to Deleting YouTube From Your Life
Because it’s more than just a useless app — and that’s the problem
We all have that app.
The one that sucks up all our time, the one that we open whenever we’re bored or lazy or procrastinating, the one we’re on three hours every day.
Maybe it’s Instagram or TikTok or Snapchat — heck, maybe it’s Duolingo(a pretty good option if I do say so myself).
For me, it was good ol’ YouTube.
The problem with YouTube
Each of these ‘time-sucking’ apps have some sort of rationale attached to them, a ‘reason’ you use to justify their place on your phone.
Social media apps — they help you stay connected, informed, up-to-date with the world!
Mobile games — what else would you do when you’re bored, and hey, you play it with friends! Yay social interaction!
And perhaps the worst of all is YouTube.
Because while yes, it has a saddening amount of stupid, useless content, it also has a lot of insanely valuable stuff, from math explanations to relationship advice to how to fix your leaking toilet.
