> You can use it to make the entire phone greyscale, which entirely defeats a huge range of techniques that apps and feeds use to draw your attention

As a counter-anecdata: I've had my phone in greyscale for a few years now. At first it worked amazingly, made me hate my phone and pickups dropped significantly. But over time I realized "Oh wait, 90% of my phone use is text and this is actually super nice for reading".

Now I use my phone just as much as before, except in greyscale.

Do you still have problems with doomscrolling addiction?

> Do you still have problems with doomscrolling addiction?

The new twitter algorithm fixed that for me. They made the feed so fundamentally uninteresting and full of slop* that the issue resolved itself.

I now doomscroll slack and discord

* by slop I mean content written for the sake of being content.

I only doomscroll HN to 90 n times/day

Is it doomscrolling though?

[harvey9]

There are several different definitions of that word, some of which would reasonably apply to hn. I am glad it doesn't have infinite scroll but it also (front page) changes fairly slowly so I do not develop an urge to check it every few minutes.

It is for me. I come here to read how fucked we are in the age of AI. It's compulsive.
