Social media "vacations" are a good idea, "engagecations" or "disengagecations". Another comment mentioned in this thread is "enragement is engagement" and really that is true with most algorithms. The algorithms and addiction patterns are created not necessarily for nefarious reasons but from a macro level look nefarious, human nature just reacts to salacious/divisive content more probably for survival reasons. Too much fear/division/misinformation out there. Repeat after me: "social media is not reality". The problem is it is leading people to be real world divisive and dividing themselves. For instance, Facebook has broken up many friends and family over some post or opinion, everyone knows people that this has happened to. We're almost too connected and tuned in. Nintendo had a feature that if you played video games too long it asked if you wanted to take a break, "You've been playing for a while. Why don't you take a break?". That is a feature that will be more seen in the future from platforms that do care about their users and the dopamine addiction cycles, less is more sometimes. Much like privacy, cool down periods or engagement "vacations" will be a popular feature in the future.
