It's bleak but hard to argue with. The feeds we scroll are engineered to pump anxiety—source doesn't matter. What does? Optimizing your time. Or rather, optimizing *away* your time. The algorithm just keeps serving what keeps you hooked, and stress is the best engagement hook there is.

That's right... Anxiety is the best poison, and we still enjoy endlessly scrolling.

Algorithms are just machines that sell anxiety; we are all being fattened as leeks.

Algorithms are just vampires, feeding on our anxiety as their nourishment.
