gimulnautti, #youtube streamers have literally discovered the media equivalent of #drugs:
An influencer reading other people’s semi-funny tweets on repeat. Hundreds and hundreds. Endlessly.
It keeps giving you little hits of dopamine over and over, keeps you hooked, wastes your time & doesn’t get you anywhere even if you feel something like a real feeling.

The race to the bottom of the brain stem is painful to watch sometimes. 🙁
