I think about this a lot. Friends and colleagues consume their daily media from feeds via instagram, tiktok and youtube nonstop.

I pretentiously/foolishly like to think of myself as a slightly higher class of content consumer, because my media isn't algorithmically sourced; its 'high end', organically and ethically sourced from select artisanal hand-crafted subreddit queries or vote-curated headlines like HN.

Maybe it's not as big of a difference as I'd like to imagine.

Depends on how you look at it. It is different. HN or sites like reddit are focused on topics while other networks like insta are way more focused on people and their relationships. The incentives are different.

Don't take it personally, but I won't remember your username after writing this comment. I think an addiction can be just as bad, but different type of platforms probably fill different wants and needs.

Although HN has its share of prominence as well.
