I recently started using “one sec” on iOS to help control my habits. I highly recommend it after my first week of use. It has you take a breath and keeps track of how much time you saved (predicted) by declining to click through after the pause by integrating with Screen Time.

I think you’ve stumbled upon a paradox where the data is worth preserving because of its scarcity, but once it no longer scarce, the value is diminished along with the priority to preserve and make it discoverable. Similar in some way to the antique/collectibles market and the U shaped curve. The issue is that the data can become so devalued that we create a scarcity in the future. It’s one of those self-regulating systems.
