Yes and no. If you are set in life, know what you want and need, are able to get it, lie in stable place, fuck news, more harm than good to you, no matter how much rationale you put on it. Focus rather on learning some new skill instead if you can't just enjoy life as it comes, which is a great skill but many self-made successful people lack it completely. If you in some unstable place, you want to move someplace else, change significant things in life, then it makes more sense to follow news, albeit it would help to curate them. But its a dopamine drug, I see otherwise very smart folks to fall prey to this completely helplessly. They even buy things like smart watches to know instantly there is some notification in phone. Of course all of these folks have higher levels of anxiety, they were there before smartwatches but those are definitely making things worse. And cycle repeats and goes deeper. For them I do hope seamless AR/VR is a thing of distant future, they will have hard time not making it into some cyberpunk version of addict.
