Can’t you just replace Facebook with “social media”? There’s very few good uses of social media and the entire thing is free, so there’s no way they are making money doing things in your interest.
Sure. I know I’ve sometimes I’ve gotten unfocused at work and just reload HN every 10minutes. HN is probably net negative on mental health for many.
But I think you’re trying to “gotcha” me.
But HN doesn’t send me notifications, or have ads, or collect data about me, or sell my data, or have curated pictures that forces me to compare my life to others and make me feel bad.
So on a priority list, HN is waaaaaaaaaaay at the bottom.
