That would be great if your video has more subtitle. It will help me to learn English and to understand obviously what u said.
I needed this
Youtube is my last obstacle. It’s hard because there’s so much useful information I get from it but I also waste a lot time on useless content. Any tips on conquering this addiction?
Can you make a video on what best skills to acquire nd start monetizing
this is brilliant!
I love you!
Nate, could u do a no fap episode? I guess many of your subscribers would like to hear your thoughts on that topic. Thx.
🙌🏽🙌🏽
No social media here for over a year- other than YouTube. Freeing.
You are so handsome and smart ，so I love you
Thanks Nate, digital interactions are just not the same as in person. Thinking of ending my long distance relationship bc of this
Thanks for making this video. It’s pleasant to hear the way you talk about the subject. I got some more tools now on how to move forward.🍀
I’ve been off social media since january, and it really is a huge relief. You all should try it.
YESSS!!! I needed this. Thank you
I’d like to hear your opinion on relationships, seems like this lifestyle you’re promoting has no space for a significant other in your life. Or even if you do have a gf, how do you manage your time towards your businesses, your relationship and your own.
I just wanna be wise like him
Wisdom key Nate!
Key board Warriors ❤️
Love these types of videos Nate. It takes courage to speak up about such issues on these platforms.
My literal dissertation was on this subject matter, face to face communication vs phone use communication as a ratio over the timeframe of 2 weeks with core network groups and how this correlated to various scales such as loneliness and happiness scales and it indeed this show that the higher the proportionality of phone use communication to face to face communication with an individual’s core network group, the higher the levels of loneliness found. The quality of communication of phone use communication compared to face to face communication effectively being less
you’re very inspiring!
You are my mentor!
So glad there are people who realize this and will talk about it!
Moms are superheroes
Nate I really like these points, you really nailed it, Thanks for your points
chosing to invest in Bitcoin is the best decision anyone can make. with the right approach, it works.

my cousin recommended him to me. He has been investing with him for some months now, but he earns just 300% of whatever he invests in a week which i think its too low, I’ve seen other traders who offer to give you up to 700/800% of whatever you invest
This video is what it means to truly be woke, not all of that virtuous bullshit, great video!
Can you add transcripts to your videos
Thanks Nate (: I really enjoy your content. Keep up the good work!
The comment you made about none of us knowing what we’re doing is one of the most honest things we can all admit to ourselves. I didn’t learn this until was about 22-24. Before that I was too embarrassed I guess to admit that I really didn’t know what I wanted to do after college. I mean I wasn’t in high school anymore. I should know by now, right? I know middle aged people who still don’t really know what they’re doing.
So hey, if you don’t have it all figured out yet, it’s alright. None of us do.
I hate my friends using phones after we hanging together.
Stock can drop from top to bottom and still be a 60 bagger. All this in 10y. investing is a very long journey where our temperament gets tested. have to have the capacity to suffer for long periods. have lived through the examples above, naming the stock today is pointless.
Reason why everyone should have a profitable investment.people need money
You’re right Investment is the key to surviving during times like this when the government decided to mess with people.
Yeah what type of Investment y’all are into the stock market has been crashing lately.
Bitcoin investment is the best when you’re on a profit based platform especially with the current rise.
Thanks for sharing those valuable information Nate !
Are you related to Olivia O’Brien???
Wow😲😶
@nate O’Brien What
You are one of the few content I watch. I have decreased my SM usage and I have so much peace. Your videos give awareness and they are worth watching. Now, I think in my entire life I have comenta to less than 10 YouTube videos, but I should not pass the opportunity to thank you for so much insights.
The documentary the social dillema is a huge eye opener on this. highly recommend it. Its on netflix
How is someone so mature, fine af, respectful and admirable it amazes me
What you share with us is so invaluable time and time again 🙌🏻 and I hope that more people will come to that realization 🙂
Wow finally a youtuber that doesnt use ALL CAPS in their VIDEO TITLES to get CLICKS, subscribed
Quick question, is mask mandatory on the street in the US?
Nice video Nate. Youre way ahead of your age
I’ve learned to turn off notifications since I end up spending 30 min just scrolling afterwards
Who shoots your B Roll?
When you talked about looking back at your life and what memories will come up…Damn, that really hit me. The best memories are the ones spent in real life, experiencing the world.
So much wisdom at 22! It’s a struggle finding the right balance with social media…less time on it seems to always provide more peace/productivity.
There’s no right or wrong way to live life? Yes there is.
Amazing
So glad I clicked on this video. Social media has really been a huge part of why I lose sleep sometimes and I’m slowly starting to take it out of my day to day life. This video actually helped me see ways to do just that. Love the content, please keep making videos 🙂
Hi Nate, is @nateobrien on BitClout really you? Thanks 🙂
Don’t apologize for having an online presence on different platforms. You’re sharing a lot of wisdom and knowledge with the world. And being true to yourself in the end. So all is good.
Lovely insights, very mature.
The videography is next level 👏🏼❤️
Man spitting lone facts. All these I have been guilty of the addiction
Why you in a dark room with a black hoddy
2:43 i thought he said “gayboy sp”
I got the new nokia 6300 4g feature phone. Its amazing not having a smartphone anymore. So much bliss.
Nate. Your brain is like a computer. I can just watch you talk and type things out.. * compliment*
some good points here man! I’ve been back and forth for a while whether I should quit social media or not! But at the same time, it’s something I make an income from as well so it’s quite hard, and I end up just putting even more time into it!
Thanks for the feedback………for more guidance

90% of the youth have a phone addiction without even realising it
Loved it 🥰

Great thoughtful video and wise beyond your years. Some of us remember life before cell phones, emails, and robust internet connections.
I liked when you said “thank you” to your mom. That is wisdom.
Always find your vids dope and inspiring !
I left social media during covid twice last year in 2020, from March to August, and again from September to now. Much happier now because I dont find myself wasting so much time on it.
LAW OF VACCUUM
Starting my minimalism journey today, starting digitally. Wish me luck💯🤝
In my personal opinion, mindfulness and intention during usage, is important. Are you scrolling because you are bored? What do you feel when you are bored scrolling? Is it good or bad? Are you playing games because you lack physical interaction? What are better ways of interacting together, play cards, learn to paint? When you are on the phone are you actually listening to the person, or just broadcasting your opinions to another soul. Recalling online experience in F2f interactions, can improve those relationship building if they are recalled versus dismissed. I support Nate’s thoughts but I urge you to go one step further, be present, be mindful, observe your thoughts. And ask yourself what are your intentions for your digital usage? Are you habits helping you or hurting you.
You sound more mature in this video. Voice is more mature.
I will reduce using my phone by 2/3rds but for hardly 5 days
This is exactly what we need, friend was just complaining about this the other day saying he’s realizing he’s spending an excessive amount of time on insta and other bs
I feel more productive not using my phone so much.
Heyy
Hi, I have a question if anyone has to help. I want to stop using my phone as much but, how do I do so while maintaining my friends? I am currently doing home office but started this job in the middle of the pandemic so I have not many friend at work and I do see my friends from life sometimes but it is not as easy, here in Colombia people under 60 are not vaccinated yet so…
Making a video that could hurt your source of income and posting it anyway is really admirable.
you are too knowledgeable for your age, I envy you. and also thank for sharing your valuable thoughts with us
My opinion in this regard is that the memories that meant a lot to you will remain in you. It doesn’t depend on what you did, rather on how strong emotions it evoked in you. Whether you’ve been hiking with friends or playing a video game at home all night the most important thing is to be mindful and look for things that matter to you
What is that accent? I’m not sure I’ve caught it before. Sounds a bit like the UK but I’m not really sure. Maybe he has a cold or something? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I know exactly what you mean Nate, I deleted my socials 4 years ago, my mental health improved and I achieved so many goals, I attribute a lot of it to the internal clarity I got from focusing on myself rather than other people’s opinions of myself. Of course I watch YouTube, I don’t really consider it a social media since I don’t post anything, but I do try to limit it too. Too much of anything is bad. Keep up the good work, stay blessed!
I REMEMBER WHEN you had 807k subs. im glad you made that million

Deserves more views. What a beautiful yet xxxxed up world… the phone is the number one way to moniter us. I moniter big brother. they don’t like that. and i don’t give a xxxx…
Okay so I’ve been wanting to sleep without my phone too but I also have a fear that there will be an emergency when I am sleeping and I’ll miss a call or something 😳 any suggestions?
Great advice🇮🇪
Thank you
You are a legendary sanin, Nate.
I only do YouTube…. Limited all the rest.

nah .. you can be creative with online and offline 🌎 .. covid changes almost everything .. i think what he’s pointing out is creating meaningful memories
it’s easier for him to be a minimalist because as he said ..he doesn’t have an eye to what looks good (idk his ootds.. black x checkered top.. or basically black and white work well) .. when you like clothes accessories and aesthetic it’s always tempting to switch things up.. (but selling or donating the ones you don’t use helps :))
i wonder who did that dunk though
God bless you for sharing your such wise
advices and suggestions
Wrong audience. You should be talking to PARENTS. They need to force their kids to do stuff. Teens and young adults will find ways to socialize and make memories.
