RT @johnhenry: The best decentralization news this month:

- Truly superb podcast from Tristan Harris of TimeWellSpent.io, talking about the addictive nature of modern webapps and what we can do to fix it. Really lays out the negative aspects of the system in a convincing way. Only issue is that their solution seems to be "convince Google/Facebook/etc to care about the problem", which seems...hopeful, to say the least.

@moormaan @johnhenry @ken I listened to that podcast when it got released, and it really rang true to the reasons I deleted my Facebook page: https://personalexcellence.co/blog/delete-facebook/. Tristan's intent is noble and I do agree with him, but it does seem like a tall order as John mentioned. As a publisher, I do feel like it's a race to the bottom in terms of quality of content shared, and I can speak for this in my industry (self-help).
