Ok, so while this is true and should already heed enough of a warning (even though I don’t heed to it really, but well..) there is an even more fucked up Experiment that you should know of -
They put little electrodes in rats‘ brains and thus stimulated the reward center. Similar to the test design prev described the rats were sitting in their Skinner’s box (official term for this, as Skinner developed the setup AND of course the name of the band of MIA Thermopolis’s boyfriend in princess diaries) and could press a button that would cause a small charge to be zapped directly into the reward center of their brains.
Depending on the experimental set-up (like timing of food availability) some rats actually starved themselves to death while clicking themselves into reward heaven.
And sometimes when I sit on the couch, really hungry and my ADHD brain feeds on the fyp, I feel a little like those rats. Luckily, I have not starved myself. So far.
An explainer for why I don't fuck with algorithmic social media
If you give a pigeon a little button to peck that releases pigeon food, it will push the button when it's hungry.
If you give a pigeon a button to peck that releases food every 5 pecks, it will peck it more often.
If you give a pigeon a button to peck that releases food at a randomly selected, always shifting number of pecks, the pigeon will peck that fucking button all day long.
Algorithm based social media is not set up to give you the best most fun stuff all the time, it is set up to give you a bunch of stress and nothingness with a randomized reward of something that actually makes you happy, because they want you pecking that button all damn day. It is a slot machine of content, meant to keep you putting in quarters made of your time and attention till you've nothing left.
At least if I'm having a shit day on my own Tumblr home feed it's because I've made a bad choice about who to follow and I can fix it.
