Choosing to not consume the endless deluge of shit is not denial, it's self-care. If AI will take their (or my) job, doomscrolling isn't going to change that. That may be defeatist, but the forces at play are bigger than myself or my internet browsing habits. |

How do you get from "I'm tired of the frequency of these scams" to "doomscrolling"?
People discussing things, finding out they're all against being exploited and driven into poverty or death, and coordinating to change that is very powerful. It's the reason we discuss this by being able to read and write, rather than while slaving in a mine.
Why do you think so much slop is generated? In part also to keep that from happening. Because that's what healthy humans normally do, if you let them, if you don't interfere. Just like a wound normally simply heals. These natural and common reactions of humans to such things are the solution, not the problem. Let them actually do their work. If you are exhausted or just apathic, the positive contribution you can still make is to stand aside.
