I began browsing Chinese Social media, Xiao Hong Shu (I don’t speak Chinese)

Been a few months. Made a few posts, saw how the algorithms gripped me, and started feeding me content…

It’s like relapsing into smoking.
Start with 1 smoke
Then limit to a couple a day
Then each time you’re stressed
Then in the elevator and in line for coffee
Then before bed, and when I wake up.

Each one of these app’s’ algorithms feed you a stream of cheap dopamine in the form of retail porn right down to borderline actual porn. That kind of content changes your mood, your drive, and your ability to focus on actual life.
