I agree but I also think that authenticity is one quality that such a tool could offer that other things in the attention economy cannot.

Addictive things are addictive. But people are also capable, given the right circumstances, to go and "touch grass". People are capable of making choices that are good for them. Especially if we make those choices easy enough.

I often scroll too much but I also go into nature and meet irl humans. And it's not close to an insurmountable choice.
