This is such a great litmus test for responsible internet use. Who picks the content? Is it you? Is it curated by one individual? Is it determined by a voting system? Is it determined by an engagement algorithm? Is it determined by a content corporation?
Realistically, the healthiest way to consume content would probably be to feed it to yourself. And the unhealthiest diet would involve being fed by engagement algorithms.
I might start thinking about more things this way.

- ruszki 3y agoYes, but unfortunately, the past 10 years the alternative became way worse. Propaganda, rage baits, AI generated content, pointless click baits, ads. There is no value anymore on the general internet. If you want value, if you want it to worth your time, you need that bubble. 90s and early 2000s ideals are dead.
