As a counter-anecdata: I've had my phone in greyscale for a few years now. At first it worked amazingly, made me hate my phone and pickups dropped significantly. But over time I realized "Oh wait, 90% of my phone use is text and this is actually super nice for reading".
Now I use my phone just as much as before, except in greyscale.

- Swizec 4mo ago> Do you still have problems with doomscrolling addiction? The new twitter algorithm fixed that for me. They made the feed so fundamentally uninteresting and full of slop* that the issue resolved itself. I now doomscroll slack and discord * by slop I mean content written for the sake of being content.
- RRWagner 4mo agoI only doomscroll HN to 90 n times/day
- skinfaxi 4mo agoIs it doomscrolling though?
- harvey9 4mo agoThere are several different definitions of that word, some of which would reasonably apply to hn. I am glad it doesn't have infinite scroll but it also (front page) changes fairly slowly so I do not develop an urge to check it every few minutes.
