I like the idea behind this but how do you promote your analog life on TikTok without also using tech at the same time
I think there’s a difficult intersection of
a. This stuff is cool and trendy right now so a lot of that content is aspirational
b. TikTok is addictive and extremely hard to kick + lots of people now see it as their primary source for style and lifestyle inspiration leading back into a.
I think the idea is to get a break from the digital life, not abandon it completely
You don’t have to quit cold turkey.
Oh for sure and you prob never get rid of it completely, just find a healthier balance. It just feels ironic recording an analog activity in front of a smartphone

as others’ve typed out: not a zero sum act.
also i’d reformulate: not necessarily simulataneous. just below two hours a day and brain isn’t rotting also
