I think about this sometimes as I do a lot of things attempt to protect my privacy and keep control of what I’m paying attention to (ie not doom scrolling / shorts, carefully controlling notifications). So I make a lot of sacrifices including my time in order to maintain control over my technology. I think it’s not possible for me to say if my life is really better, because it’s the whole road not taken thing. It’s not possible to know and so it’s not worth agonising over, but I’m choosing to live according to my values at least, and that seems valuable.
