This is a really odd place to leap to from "google is going to show how much time you spend on the phone and in each app".

It's also a good reminder of why having a bit on your phone that reminds you how long you've been on it is a good idea.

Too much of the internet is toxic.


what’s toxic about it? sincere question.

it’s not about bringing down a culture as much as raising up other ones to equal prominence.


It tends to isolate people into self-reinforcing communities, many of which have two things in common: They have an enemy that they demonize, and they admit no wrong.

Not all communities are like that, but when communities (and now that I think about it, especially ones where your comments can get some kind of point or reward) get big they trend towards that. Possibly because those behaviors are low-hanging fruit in terms of your comment earning points. Points feel good. No one likes to admit it but they do.


This at least gives people a moment to consider the other forms of entertainment beyond a screen? Maybe go outside? Interact with people? Play an instrument? Make some art? Go volunteer somewhere? Stand up? Walk around?


Other ones like Stormfront, MRAs and Trump?


...You think google is going to do that?


And a perfectly ratio'd "blend" of phenotypes is somehow better?


no, equality doesn't have to mean sameness
