I've been on Reddit for over a decade. But I'm done with that site and want to do something else. What do normal people look at on their phones? Is it all social media? Streaming?

It's weird! I sometimes look at teenagers browsing their phones on the grocery line and they're doing a ton of stuff while not actually doing anything. It's like they simply cant stand there alone with their thoughts for two minutes but need to just start opening random apps, scroll few times, switch to another app, like something, move again...

If I don't distract, the demons rise up out of my subconscious and start chewing on my psyche. melancholy, ennui and existential dread follow leading to depression and suicidal ideation. Radical behavior, poor life choices are followed by death and a big mess reported on national news.

So...harm reduction!

This was what people said about channel hopping back in the day.

This time the content is just made for people to channel hop at a faster rate.

Tiktok has completely destroyed the attention span of people.
