I always hated the push model of social media, which is why most of the online content I consume is via rss, including Twitter [0].&lt;p&gt;But I never thought of traditional news media media as being a push model. It makes so much intuitive sense when you say it: the reason I read newspapers is, at least in part, I want and trust them to tell me what&amp;#x27;s happening that&amp;#x27;s important. That&amp;#x27;s different than my programming blog subscriptions: I follow them because &lt;i&gt;I&amp;#x27;ve&lt;/i&gt; decided what they write is important to me.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s a subtle difference but very impact-full, and seems correct.&lt;p&gt;[0] not sure of they actually have rss feeds but my rss reader supports them</text></comment>

They assume you are their cash cow, their captured audience. Prove them wrong. If you doomscroll you&amp;#x27;re probably bored by it but stuck as their prisoner.&lt;p&gt;I see tiktok as more of flipping through the channel on TV but finding something good randomly, usually but I don&amp;#x27;t spend much time on it.</text></comment>
