How can tech people misunderstand social media ML algorithms so badly....gee, I wonder what could cause that.
- 9dev 2y agoThat doesn’t refute parent‘s point. It’s still a barrage of different ideas, opinions, or jokes, that’s hitting your brain in very short intervals. You don’t even get to deeply interact with one of the concepts before you’re being shown the next one. Even though you might feel you only watch quality content, that’s only the dopamine addiction speaking. If you don’t believe me, try reading a book for an hour straight, without touching your phone or doing something else. Most people that using social media regularly will struggle doing this.
