I can empathize.
I have hundreds of tabs open in my phone’s browser. Stuff that sounds really interesting and that I’m going to read Any Day Now™.
But when Hacker News and CNN ‘run out’, do I read the open tabs?
Nope. I just continuously click Refresh.

- WalterGR 8y agoThe window to edit my comment has closed, so I’ll reply to say: I think some part of it is the Paradox of Choice. Given 2 options, we can easily choose between them. Given 200 options, we want to choose the perfect option... and so we spend so much time evaluating the options that we choose none of them. And well, hell, we’ve already discovered 200 options, but given the wide range of digital media available to us, there must be more options. And maybe the “perfect” option is in that set. And so we seek even more options - browser tabs, bookmarks, items in our Netflix queue...
