      Oh i know

      I’m more blaming the system than the user. The system is designed to be as addicting as possible. Literally a century of addiction research into drugs and gambling, all used to squeeze every drop of engagement from the user

      To a point. At least we’re reading and using our brains more on these text-based sites!

    See, White Rectangle, you swipe like this: “oh. oh quite. oh dear. oh no. aw. and how.”
    But with Black Rectangle, you swipe like: “yo, hol’ da commentz, Imma bounce your pinky up in this!”

    Reels only shows ppl with hella followers and views;, but algorithm is a lot better at showing me my interests (on the feed, if you scroll on any reel it shows irrelevant stuff)
