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.

3)

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.

And the worst part is - that I know its where, valuable knowledge sits tight, and not used. That thing will cause guilt and pain.

So I decided to solve this puzzle from the other side: just stop saving. I left only with Notes. I dont save articles, videos. I dont even use social media, (except Reddit) cuz it overwhelms me.

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.
