Addiction to Outrage (2020)
Doomscrolling caused by "engagement" metrics.<p>When engagement is all that matters, the most engagement comes when people are divisive, mad/angry or even pushed to extremes.<p>When you feel yourself getting bothered, angry and you have to prove someone wrong on the internet, step away. You are taking valuable time from your own projects and quality of life.<p>People can have different opinions and that is ok, your ideas and opinions are what make you, see that as your unique tool to success. On top of that many "organic opinions" are actually astroturfing and PR designed to promote or get you to "engage".
