These are very interesting ideas. But I’d like to see to see credit given where it’s due. Many of the specific interface concepts here (retrospectively monitoring whether time was well spent, disabling infinite feeds, a regret tax, batching notification delivery, switching an infinite feed to a paged one which reflects activity) were presented several years ago by Joe Edelman and Tristan Harris. See eg https://medium.com/thrive-global/how-technology-hijacks-peop... and https://medium.com/what-to-build/is-anything-worth-maximizin... Ideas like these are public goods, so it’s difficult to profit off inventing them. Given that, we should incentivize their creation with social rewards by crediting their authors. |
