“Tech companies are now directly fighting against empathy. They are building feeds that shape your mindset and distract you from the world around you. They want to fill you with rage to foster engagement until you feel empty inside. Feeds now divide people and affect the structure of our societies.”

How I cured my tech fatigue by ditching feeds

Repeat after me: Facebook, instagram, twitter – are not your friends. They are not even neutrally benign – their reason for existence is to enrich themselves by taking from YOU.

They are that Matrix machine that takes energy from people and gives them illusions in return. Unplugging yourself completely is already difficult, but still possible, and no pills are needed.
