Beware of trapping yourself in a manufactured social bubble of emotional comfortable

Is that bad?

I black-hole plenty of sites via pihole above and beyond the typical adblock lists. On a very few rare occasions I have turned off the pihole to unblock a site because I was curious after following a link that was blocked by said pihole. Every single time I quickly learned why that site was blocked, and visiting that site gained me nothing.

If it happens it happens. I can only hope that the result is boredom rather than increased engagement.

		that's an interesting point. A echo chamber could lead to fatigue and boredom. Reels is able to keep me engaged because it is able to surface similar content I would like but from different users. And they have such a breadth of producers these days. The X home feed algo is not so good apart from it being text only, even for infotainment content. YT shorts also does not work as good as the Insta algo
