    To highlight the point it is I think the other user is making, can you name an action you’ve taken in light of doom-scrolling in between those days that benefited from immediately knowing that second? Were those actions still achievable if you had read a summary later on Wednesday, or Sunday? (Mind you, I’m not saying I follow this either but I do question whether I should).

    Naturally we must strike a balance between being informed and being blissfully ignorant. Blissful ignorance is short-sighted but neither is crippling awareness healthy for the mind.
