We abused the technology in general sense. It supposed to help us to live fuller, longer, happier, but instead we became heroin-addicts, spending 5-10 hours with the phone on hands.

In a time of over-optimised content I adore aesthetics of standalone blogs, which run on pure HTML, plus some bits of CSS.

Those are pieces out of infinite matrix of social media, like LinkedIn, Twitter, Medium. They don’t run after hype, outreach, likes. They simply don’t care.

I will edit this table a bit and share it here.

Peaceful life online:

1) Quit social media (cuz of over-optimized content, clickbait)
2) Read only blogs and newsletters (nor Linkedin, Twitter, Medium)
3) Keep Reddit for fun (the only place which survived, cuz users there cheap)
4) Replace constant consuming with writing notes, reading notes, producing stuff.

I have a feeling, that most companies on the internet work against the people.

1) Like, media feeds u negative sht, cuz it addicts u more, than positive content. Its more profitable.

2) social media wants u to spend more time on the feed, it doesnt care whether u connect with friends or watch random videos. It wants u to do the second thing.
