The author reflects on how the modern internet is designed to be as distracting as possible, using algorithms to keep users engaged for as long as possible. However, this can lead to a cycle of consumption where users watch videos about video games constantly because of their YouTube homepage's algorithmic feed. To take control of this situation, individuals can fine-tune their algorithmic feeds by clicking "Not interested" on videos that don't align with their interests. They can also use privacy modes in browsers like Incognito to avoid being tracked and shown related content. Additionally, users can replace algorithmic feeds with human-made ones, such as news sources controlled by editors who balance emotionally resonant stories with less exciting articles. By making conscious decisions about how they interact with online platforms, individuals can protect their attention and mental well-being.
