My life in Tube
Do you have a hobby? Oh sure. It can be reading, dancing, drawing, charity, games. And my hobby is
If you thought that I am posting a video there, then you are mistaken. I just watch and listen. I have been in this “tube” since I was 12 years old. I used to have many different interests, but now I spend all my free time on this video hosting. Do you think this is bad?
Now it may seem that I'm justifying myself, but this is not so. I am sure that YouTube has influenced my concept of the world from a good side. Because it was here that I learned that people are very different, that our world is very diverse.
Of course, I did not live in an incubator, where everyone is the same, but most people were solidary in many ways. For example, everyone thought that in the class the students should be in solidarity with the teachers, listen to them and remember that there is only one god, and this is Allah, that our nation is the best, that boys should not love the "girlish" colors, in their opinion, that all people are heterosexual. Thanks to YouTube and the Internet as a whole, I realized that I can think differently that adults can be wrong too.
I remember seeing a video showing that our planet is insignificant in the universe. For some reason, it shocked me, and it was a starting point in my formation.
So, we figured out why YouTube was a discovery for me. But now, why am I addicted to this? I have long been subscribed to many channels in different topics. Entertaining, scientific, creative, tourist, as well as news channels. I find all my interests in one place. And I learn about everything sitting in one place. Sorry for the pun. Sometimes my hobby is causing problems. I can’t organize my time management, I’m very distracted from things.
Why am I writing this post? I want to know your opinion. Can this be considered a hobby? Maybe I'm just lazy to do normal hobbies? Is this addiction a problem? If 'yes', how can this be solved?

Malika, I think that your hobby is learning something new all the time and you chose YouTube as your platform of information. May be it is easier for you to receive information through listening and watching than reading and writing. And do not think that it is addiction if yiu really watch some scientific channels, but my advice fot you set aside a specific time for this and do not exceed the limit.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, I need to learn how to manage time. Thanks 🙌
DeleteHi, Malika!I think that if you consider watching YouTube your hobby, then it is so. People develop in different ways, through books, classes, and if you like to develop through YouTube, keep it up! The main thing is that you yourself enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diana☺️
DeleteUndoubtedly, YouTube is one of the main sources of information. I spend a lot of time there too. and I think this is not bad, if you watch videos on YouTube to gain new knowledge.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you support this, but if I use YouTube not only for knowledge, but also for entertainment, knowledge 47%, other 53%
Deleteif you will take on attention all materials on youtube it could be just wasting time, but I think that you filter contents that you watch, because without it youtube is just trash of different and crazy videos
ReplyDeleteI liked this post, I think that a hobby is what you like and where you can learn something new for yourself. so I think it's good, it's better than just wasting your time
