I keep saying this. We have to talk about our goals and design appropriately. If you want to zone out etc or probably a dozen other things, somebody else can give you an app for that.

But what the medium of "decentralized boosting with comments" does great is democratize attention. Let everyone decide collectively what art, info and ideas go viral. Nobody gets to gatekeep or buy eyeballs. Cultural evolution on steroids. It's designed for the journalistic impulse.
