Yes Theory is a captivating YouTube channel that stands out for its emphasis on embracing discomfort, pursuing adventures, and fostering personal growth. The channel follows friends' journey of saying "yes" to various challenges and experiences, often involving travel, social experiments, and inspirational endeavours. 

The particular episode I linked is titled " Asking Strangers to Throw a Party in Their House." the episode follows the Yes Theory group currently living in China and delves into the complexities of creating content within a society known for its privacy, social norms, and language barrier. The challenge they undertake involves persuading Chinese citizens to open their homes for spontaneous parties. Yes, Theory did the impossible by looking for an individual within this society who would agree to this, as the episode did end up successfully, as a random father of two who decided on this spontaneous adventure.


 Yes Theory interests me because of its positive and uplifting content, active community engagement, and genuine documentation of the creators' personal development by encouraging viewers to "seek discomfort" and step outside their comfort zones to live more fulfilling lives.

    I as well like to watch yes theory as If ind there content is diffrent and is insightful. I feel after I watch these videos I definitely have a more postive outlook on society as you see the good that is in strangers. I really like there saying of seek discomfort because it pushes people out of there comfort zone and to try things that they might not normally try. I think the message thy push is really good and beneficial to society.

  There is a Spotify playlist called “Homegrown” which I listen to very often because of the amount of artists and their songs that are included in it. I am a big fan of country music and the playlist contains many of the artists that I enjoy, such as Sam Barber, Zach Bryan, Josh Meloy, etc. This playlist has a variety of different types of songs that I would listen to while completing many tasks throughout the day. I like to listen to a pretty wide range of songs and “Homegrown” is a great playlist for that. I know many people here do not listen to country music, but if so, I really recommend this playlist!

      In the movie Eighth grade it follows a young girl by the name of Kayla who is having a hard time not only fitting in with her peers at school, but also has trouble fitting in online as well. Kayla demonstrates a high degree of social anxiety, and it is very evident she just wants people to like her. Kayla, with limited people to talk too and virtually no friends, leans on creating YouTube videos in order to connect with others. Kayla's videos consist of her providing advice to her viewers, such as how to always be confident, and tips on how to socialize to others, things that she has no real experience in. These videos give Kayla a way to connect to not only her peers but other people around the world, and also give her something to feel good about as she's helping others. Kayla also adds to her anxiety by constantly scrolling though social media, and ignoring things such as her father trying to talk to her. Scrolling through social media has Kayla compar...

  I have always taken interest in other people's lifestyles and why and how they and how they have accepted to live a certain way.  Recently I have found out about this  YouTube creator by the name of Tyler Oliveria.  Tyler goes to these places where there are a lot of issues and documents as well as interviews the people that live in these communities.  Tyler gives insights but also figures out why things are the way they are from the people that live in the unfortunate situations.  I have always found this kind of content interesting because I wondered why people live certain ways  but through the content I have realized that it is not always a choice and people get put into bad situations.  The link to his YouTube channel is https://www.youtube.com/@TylerOliveira where you can watch and find his videos.
