Does Social Media feel more addictive/powerful recently?

r/

I usually manged my screen time and was able to step away easily. Now I find Media spending much more time using and and the content seems so insane too.

Is it just me?

Is my will just eroding?

Or do you guys feel similar?

    Not to me. Anyway, you can use an app blocker or website blocker to deal with this. It’s what I do

    It kind of always was but it’s been feeling much more so wide TikTok got popular. With everyone else copying it I’ve noticed myself doon scrolling more.

    yeah, between reddit and youtube, im not doing much else with my spare time. this trump era has magnified it further, with me needing to know what the next idiot decision is, just in case it’s ww3.

    No. I recently deleted FB and IG. This is all the social media I have. And it’s in spurts. A couple minutes every couple hours or whatever.

    More addictive, or more relevant to your interests? The algorithms are continuously and automatically ‘improving themselves’ for more user and advertisement interaction. Rampant is an understatement.

    I’ve been thinking about training an AI agent to handle all my social media and reading a book or something.

    Yes. I think it’s how content that ARENT accounts you follow being shoved into the feed. I miss when social media was just people you knew instead of influencers and people who make social media their job.
