What mental benefits are people getting exactly? Cause, pretty sure you'd get much more from reading a long form article that the 10s tik tak clip or whatever.

What mental benefits are people getting exactly? Cause, pretty sure you'd get much more from reading a long form article that the 10s tik tak clip or whatever. The majority of people seem barely able to form a coherent thought beyond what they've been reading in their bubble these days. 40% of the country doesn't even bother to vote most elections (here in the US)... I don't think "sensing ideological currents" is really at the forefront of most people's minds lol. I read Hacker News once a day maybe, and use a couple discord servers. But have abandoned everything with an infinite scroll produced by rage inducing, bubble forming algorithms. I prune my discord servers down, and blocked HN on everything but my work computer (lol).
