Hmm … I haven’t read that comment by @adrian2301 that you quote above – anyway, I couldn’t disagree with its sentiment more. I have published a lot of my work (I am not an artist but more of a tech guy) on YT and Vimeo and have had a very, very small amount of nice experience from it – but mostly, people called me an asshole (for not publishing my tools for free for everyone to use), a dick, a German nazi etc.
So I removed way over 500 tutorials, how-tos, documentaries etc. And since I did that my life has gotten a lot easier, calmer. I am in contact with NICE people now instead of the typical Facebook-generation.
Needless to say, I have never ever been on Facebook, Twitter or the likes and I don’t intend to join any of these platforms. I don’t use them.
“Addiction” to me is a health-issue, not a personal distraction-thing. I take health issues seriously and do what I can to resolve them. If I ever got addicted to anything internet-ish, I’d know where my network hub is. Honestly, the web isn’t worth risking your health (or progress) for it.
