Some people wouldn’t, we call it falling into the wiki hole for a reason.

I’ve spent more hours than a sane person should just hopping from one topic to another and often end up reading about something I had no idea was a thing an hour earlier.

But I also use YouTube only for documentaries and read a lot generally, my only social media is HN and Reddit (though not a lot).

I’m just not wired for engagement the way most the people in my life seem to be.

Other than Bank App, Kindle and Firefox I have nothing installed on my phone it didn’t come with, iOS is basically same on my iPad.

I don’t find the modern web very engaging and use unhook/ublock origin to keep YT what I want it to be which is a no distraction source of documentaries.
