I watched The Social Dilemma on Netflix.

Eye opener. In short:
1. social media platforms needed to monetize.
2. So they needed ads to be more efficient
3. The smartest minds and the most powerful computers, using the biggest data centers and the latest neuroscience came up with ways to "drive up engagement"...
4. In other words, get us all addicted by carefully manipulating feeds and notifications.
5. This create a mental health crisis.

I wrote an unhinged post on why my phone can go fuck itself. https://cordillera.neocities.org/posts/2022-12-26-My-Phone-Is-Being-Punished.html

>My Android phone is being punished. I have shaved its head, stripped off its jewels, and gave it sackcloth to shuffle around in with its head down, scalp slowly baking in the midday sun. The lock screen and wallpapers are black. The icons are a custom bland gray. I have reduced it to living in a permanent gray scale mode...
