The internet feels like a [Rule]
The video the comment comes from is this one which I recommend a watch if you've got 13 minutes to spare.
Image Description is as follows: A YouTube comment by user EclectiClaus reads as follows:
"The internet fells like a casino: It's built like a maze designed to trap you in; full of bright, loud machines designed to get your attention; it tricks you into thinking you're having fun but in reality you're slowly ruining your life."

You are prohibited from ever making screenshots again. 200:1 aspect ratio ass post. Nice transcription tho so you still get an upvote.

this comment feels reductive, it depends on where youre spending your time online
I'm careful to ensure the extent of my "social media" use is just Lemmy and that makes using the internet tolerable

Yes it is quite reductive, it's a comment on a 13 minute video about how the internet is designed to hijack our attention span in short bursts and how content is getting more short form in that kind of place.
Not only that but how the attention spans of people are getting shorter and shorter as a response, while our screen times are skyrocketing.
It's a very good watch IMO and worth the 13 minutes.
