Hi,

I have discovered Red Pill community maybe around 2 or 3 years ago and after watching it for hours on end it all have messed me up A LOT, there was also a point when I entered a relationship within that period of time where the said indulgence of Red Pill videos have messed me up even more.

I have recovered from it but some things I still struggle with. However, somewhere last week I started consuming this harmful content once again and after a week of watching it all the time I have noticed that I became jaded and more insecure with trust issues as a result of doing so.

Therefore, I tried to distance myself and delete all the bookmarched content and channels, I remained hesitant at first because where would I find the content on how to improve myself and find real dating advice, right ? Then by a sheer luck I came across a YouTube video that explained why Red Pill is harmful and provided other options for this sort of information in a very positive light, more or less it reasoned with me than any of those Red Pill videos.

As I was on the verge already, the said video helped me to see the light once again and I finally deleted this Red Pill shit once for all. I'm also writing this post because of the said video, otherwise, I wouldn't post anything on here and would still continue consuming it. The thing with Red Pill is that once you start consuming their toxic content you can't easily turn back and just stop because toxic negativity fuels your brain and you crave for more and more, same concept as with watching porn all the time, everyday.

This is what counts them views like cakes, no matter the topic, a negative videos. You always will find negative videos having absurd amount of views count opposed to more positive videos. Once you start consuming Red Pill content you will become jaded as fuck, insecure and angry at every single women.

This is a very vicious circle that not many people are able to break so I'm greatful to be here on this subreddit after realising I was getting played again for views, to buy some pointless ass "coaching" books or just selling me the idea that you can't get married and be only ruined, negativity above all it was.

This is why majority of people are stuck in the Red Pill Community circle not realising what pushes their buttons and they keep watching it and watching it then we have next Elliot Rodger. This might be a bit extreme example but that's how I feel about this topic because what comes next after years and years of toxic content consumption is violence and hatred.

If you are looking for a genuine advice about dating, man lifestyle and self improvement, I highly recommend the following channels: The Roommates, Alpha M and Courtney Ryan. The said channels provide a positive outlook on how you can improve yourself and become better because a journey starts with improving yourself first.

Also, Courtney provides great view for both sexes, you can't just be blinded with one side, to become better and understand dating on a more in depth level a positive view into both sides is required, that's another thing that Red Pill was doing very well, only providing one side view points that were coming from angry and frustrated men.

The ones I highly advise to avoid are: Fresh & Fit, Better Bachelor, Darius M, Taylor the fiend, Coach Red Pill, ReplicantPhish and probably a few more I watched but can't remember and can't be bothered to touch it with a 10 foot shit stick.

Finally, here's a video that helped me break the vicious circle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuDTr5NF860

Please share your list of channels you avoid and which ones you embraced instead, if you have such a list.

Happy New Year everyone !
