Most of it is trash, but there is the occasional treasure that is so worth sifting through the mountain of shit, you’d do it again in a heartbeat. But to find that good shit, you have to be intentional, pay attention to where your eyes go, stay curious and open, but never BUY anything without looking deeper - at the seams, at the little stains in certain light, at the source of the material.

ADD FRICTION between you and the automatic habits you want to call into question (like scrolling endlessly) and remember it's like building any muscle. It takes time, sustained effort, and conscious attention to do it - but it's worth it.
And remember the internet, like you + me, is still very much alive. There is magic out there if you're willing to work a bit to discover it.
