Do no under any circumstances trust personalized content. It sounds nice and warm but it is so apt to boil you slowly and automatically like so many lobsters that it is impossible it won’t. Especially because it already is.
Do not trust platforms that suggests you to auto-play the next video etc.. What a terrible suggestion. The only one interested in you making that choice automatically is not you.
Do not trust platforms that defaults to never-ending scroll. You brain cannot handle that. Using that is not in your interest. It is in the interest of a corporation so dull in the metrics department it resorts to hours spent as a measure of success.
Do not allow yourself to feel defeated in the personal freedom arena because of a technology you are using. If you think about it, not using that technology at all makes a whole lot more sense than accepting that particular pound of flesh pricing. Even if all the other kids are doing it YOU can opt out, in direct proportion to your tendency to think.
