walker :
from the perspective of the curators this is also a synthetic form of authority: it creates a class of people who have the power to restrict what others consume.

wow you’ve just put words to why those kinds of “content/media roundup” pieces drive me nuts

oooh this is an intresting take, there always has to be a class distinction.

Tik Toker :
Key difference between calories and content is that over-consumption of calories is highly conspicuous and socially undesirable (people are motivated to lose weight to look better). While people can see the effects in their own mind, over-consumption of media is still far more private and less stigmatized than obesity. Until there’s social pressure to put the phone down, it’ll be hard for people to go on a ‘diet.’

Restriction is needed in a world of abundance! And we are so bad at it.

Sooooo interesting!! I don’t mind the curation content when it’s genuine, but sometimes it feels labored and performative

📚 Just started a year-long experiment: sticking to one print news source and reading one physical book a week. No scrolling, no noise—just deep focus. Let’s see what clarity feels like.

in my mind there are clear differences between consuming everything from an algorithm vs from one persons recommendations. word of mouth continues to be most goated method of spreading info.

someone watch the hank green videos on how information is similar to food.I honesty think it's not something to conquer but allows people to show others more options

I felt similarly about this when they became popular, but I still think those posts are useful and I've found media I've genuinely loved thanks to them

Josh Whitworth :
This is kind of the whole point though I think. Ryan Holiday talks about this often. Now that we have all the info it’s not just about what you consume, but the application and focus on that content.

Feel like this all stems from classism. The 1% enjoy a luxury until it is mass produced. This shift the attention to the rare or unique
