I deleted Instagram

@Lyubov Thanks for reporting back

I've experienced similar effects where the dopamine cycle cross pollinates other activities.

The more time I spend focused on a single assignment that isn't triggering a charged emotional reaction, the higher my quality of awareness is transplanted onto other tasks.

Low and behold I started getting all sorts of negative trash in my feed 30 minutes in and yeah, it’s engineered to really push my buttons. I scrolled consciously and noticed how I would have instant emotional reactions to all the controversial stuff and want to continue to scroll because of it. I observed my mind and noticed how the algorithm is designed to reward content which you see with either fear, envy or outrage.

And now imagine that people use this as a source of information.

I am imagining self abuse.
