algorithm-driven social media amplifies this nonsense. I had to cut myself out of all social media because I found myself unreasonably angry every day. this new cycle and social media cycle was literally poisoning my life.

it’s not like we didn’t have negative news or negative stories or flame bait back in the days of usenet, but it was easier to escape. Now, with all the TikTok and Twitter/X and Facebook embeds, it’s not only impossible to escape, it literally follows you around now.

The only way to win is not to play at all.

Hasn’t the news basically been doing this for years? I’m not sure that “creators” should be singled out for this. We’ve been living in that world for a long long time.
