Is there anything better to do?

I found myself scrolling through this application endlessly sometimes, and I'm sure you've found yourself in a similar situation before. It's just so damn good, right? It knows exactly when you're even thinking of maybe getting off it, and it'll show you new content just to keep you on the hook.

If I take a step back, that feeling that you get and the value that you get out of the time that I spend on the application really amounts to absolutely nothing substantial whatsoever. I think maybe I might be taking some bookmarks as I browse, and the content is so good as well, right? Out of all the bookmarks that I have ever really captured and really gone back to, there's probably the odd recipe or two that I actually went back to use and to cook up dinner at night.

If anything, it feels like going into a casino and you have absolutely no odds of winning. In fact, the value you get out of it is really just extracted away. All that attention and time, it's sucked away from you.

It feels a lot like treating a sickness with a drug rather than actually looking at a root cause of an issue. At least that's the feeling that I get. I don't know if anyone else feels the same. Leave a message if you agree or disagree.
