Short excerpt from a YouTube video (title: "Want to Succeed? STOP READING THE NEWS!") presenting prescriptive advice: the speaker urges listeners to stop reading headlines and to avoid social media (mentions Twitter/X) as these are framed as overwhelmingly negative. The speaker gives a brief anecdote — a positive statistic about drivers in Toronto — to illustrate that positive outcomes are underreported. Matan is mentioned by name in the excerpt.

So the first piece of advice I give people is stop reading the headlines. Stay away from social media. Get rid of Twitter or X, whatever it is you do for business. If it's business. Headlines. Okay. I'm just saying, like, it's all negative. It's all negative. You know, I don't think. Matan, I read yesterday that 6 million people in Toronto got home safely from driving on the 401. You know, I never hear that.
