 Why hello there still unnamed fan base. I'm Jarvis and the internet was a mistake. Jarvis Johnson just admitted that he's been playing us like a fiddle all along. What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel my channel is all about mental health and what I like to do is pull different topics from the YouTube community to try to teach you how to improve your mental and emotional well-being. So if you're into that kind of stuff make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. So yeah this is such an important video. It's a very very important video and by the end of it you'll understand why. All right because this entire video is more about our emotions, our delusion that we're in control of our own lives and so many things. Right now you're probably like dang Chris this is getting a little bit deep for a comedy channel like Jarvis Johnson but bear with me for a minute. So my beautiful girlfriend and I twisted this morning we woke up and decided to watch the new Jarvis Johnson video about what was it seven seconds riddles and that oh man I'm glad just people like Jarvis checking out these channels or or Instagram accounts that I refuse to look at. His favorite dog Petey was found dead in the garden Jesus. They're like showing the dog so disrespectful. But anyways I love Jarvis because he kind of does what I do where he takes he takes something right but he always tries to include some kind of lesson in it right. So at the end of this video he talked a little bit about psychology but I want to focus on this part right here. People might be afraid of flying more so than than driving even though flying is like thousands of times safer than driving. So you take that and you combine it with the negativity bias which is this thing us humans have where we're more attracted to unpleasant things. Also you don't know anything about psychology. Toss in a little sprinkle of the YouTube algorithm and you can like warp people's sense of reality and make them feel like the world is way bleaker than it actually is. And I actually think it's worse that these are cartoons because it appeals way more to that younger crowd. The whole negativity thing is something that I've personally benefited from with the whole worst channel on YouTube thing because I'm a pretty happy to go like a guy with like a positive optimistic worldview. But just by titling a video in a negative way I had a slew of 12 year olds having an emotional response back at me which just shows me how susceptible to this bias we all are. So yeah it's important to understand this. So what Jarvis is saying is you know there's this thing called negative bias right and Jarvis is admitting that one of the reasons his channel is blown up is because he plays into that all right and this is really really important because what I'm going to be talking about in this video is something I keep trying to teach you guys is that it's a lot easier for you to fix you than it is to fix the rest of the world right because we're constantly getting pulled in different directions by our emotions because people are emotionally manipulating us and I'm going to explain how that's not always a bad thing. So Jarvis is not doing anything wrong okay like I'll admit to you right now I will admit to you right now because it's something that keeps coming up and maybe there's the reason why this video idea came to mind is because I do it to all of you too. A lot of you who have been subscribed to my channel you know that I love mental health, I love psychology, I'm fascinated with how the mind and the brain works and all of that so there's a ton that goes into what I do and so many other youtubers and what we're doing when it comes to our titles when it comes to our thumbnails like so many of us when we are crafting our thumbnails even we're looking at different facial expressions what's going to get somebody to click for example I made a video about Tanimojo yesterday and I had the title picked out don't be friends with Tanimojo and I put in parentheses rant and I had two different thumbnails and I was asking Tristan I'm like here's the title which one of these thumbnails do things better right I had two different facial expressions and she's like this one okay so like think about that for a second there there was a thought process behind the thumbnail that I'm creating like what emotion am I trying to evoke but with Jarvis too what we're talking about is our titles right so Jarvis was talking about how his title is playing into your negative bias of you know Troom Troom is the worst channel or five minute crap is like the worst channel or whatever it is so what we're doing is we're trying to evoke emotion from you to get you to click on it and something that I'm going to try to teach you by the end of this video is how to take control of that all right because something I've realized over and over and over again you know with my videos and stuff especially with my Illymation video that's been exploding over the last week like so many people like oh this is clickbait I thought it was this I thought it was that right and you guys got to understand this is happening to you on the regular this is happening to you on a daily basis so I have a history in marketing sales and like you guys like I hope you realize that advertisers are doing this to you constantly I mentioned this in a video not long ago like advertisers are there to try to figure out a way to make you feel bad about yourself they're emotionally manipulating you constantly every commercial you see heck every mid-roll ad or every you know pre-roll ad that you see on YouTube everyone is trying to make you think that you are not good enough but you need this thing to make you feel better right or with it being Christmas time right now they're trying to tell you if you buy this thing somebody else will like you more they will appreciate you more right and these are things that are constantly happening to us on the subconscious level so like I said this isn't always a bad thing so in Jarvis's case right Jarvis is purposely evoking an emotion from you or from potential viewers so you click on his video okay and I love that he does that I love that he he insights that curiosity right like what is this about what's this guy going to say about this channel right but I love Jarvis because not only is it comedy but he's also including lessons in there love him and if you're not subscribed to a second channel you need to go do that I don't know if he's made any videos on it recently but anyways he talks about life lessons books he's read and stuff that I'm into right but I enjoy that he does that and you got to look at people like Danny Gonzalez or other humorous channels right like they're trying to get you to click maybe out of curiosity or are we going to play into your confirmation bias so those of you who don't know what confirmation bias is aside from negative bias which our brain thinks more about the negative than the positive confirmation bias is we're looking for things that agree with our beliefs we're looking for things that agree with our ideas right so when it comes to what I do on my channel I'm trying to teach you about your mental health the way I kind of describe what I'm doing is it's like if you're trying to give a dog medicine right like a dog isn't just going to take the medicine so you got to wrap it up in like meat or cheese or something like that and you got to give it to the dog right because it's good for him so what I've done the way I've pivoted my channel this year which has given me growth is that I package this to make you think that maybe this is about drama right but what I'm really trying to do is teach you life lessons I'm trying to teach you about your mental health trying to teach you about anxiety depression eating disorders having better friends borderline personality disorder all sorts of things trauma abuse that's what I'm doing but what I'm doing is I'm trying to evoke an emotion from you and I'm trying to play into some of your confirmation bias I know for a fact that if I make videos about tanimojo tritipatus right I made some on eugenia cooney I ended up making some on amblin read like I can see what will get me clicks what will get me views right so manipulation does happen but there's good and bad to it so let's talk about the bad side and I'm not gonna call anybody out in this video because again I'm not a drama channel but bad clickbait right bad use of that emotion is is getting you to click on something and and you're not getting what you were like that what you were promised right like oh this is the craziest thing to ever happen oh you'll never believe what this is right there's like there's a lot of controversy going on constantly with what people are are are putting in their thumbnails and titles to try to get people to come in maybe it's you know maybe a sexual in nature maybe it's something that is just bad for kids to see but it's marketed towards kids you know what I mean so like this is what we have to think about but here the rewire so we talk about the problem but focus on the solution so what's the solution to this I keep trying to tell you guys quit blaming other people for how you feel and what you're doing you're in control you need to take that control like click on whatever you want watch whatever you want but the thing is is they have to be more mindful okay mindfulness is something I keep preaching to all of you guys which is paying attention to what's happening in the present moment notice what's happening okay because so many of these things are happening on an unconscious level but for example a very simple mindfulness practice that you can do is that when you're scrolling through youtube on your phone or on your computer whatever it is when you see a title when you see a thumbnail pause for a second and say what emotion am I having right what preconceived notions are happening in my head right what do I think this video is going to be about ask yourself why am I clicking on this video am I clicking on this video to get the tea am I clicking on this video to get the drama am I clicking on this video to see something crazy happen whatever it is right but make sure that you are making the conscious decision and knowing why you are clicking on it because something that just fascinates me in the comments is how people people are blaming others you made me click on this like come on you guys has any youtuber ever come to your house and made you like tap on your phone to watch a video or go on a computer and click a video no it's never happened so we need to take responsibility for what we're doing and part of that is just being aware of what's happening you can do this in your regular life too like why are you buying a certain thing why are you going out to eat at a certain restaurant is it because it was marketed to you in a certain way did the advertisers do what they're trying to do which is make you feel something or make it so you feel less than like think about that this is what mindfulness is and when you practice mindfulness every single day even for five or ten minutes your brain starts training itself in a mode where you're being more conscious of every decision that you're making all right so basically what I did with this whole entire video was I made it in a way so you clicked on it to see what I was going to say about Jarvis and did I lie to you no Jarvis admitted to manipulating you I put proof in parentheses he said it and I have a clip of it you see what I mean but anyways um some exciting news if you're interested I have officially partnered with the calm app and calm is my
