What's your take on making social media better for people's mental health & productivity? Would you promote clients that have more human-friendly features?

I think it's overstated / recency bias. If you look at the historical record, every new technology is going to make people lazy or crazy. I'm hopeful with a permissionless protocol we'll have a variety of clients that optimize for different things.

Hmm, IMO there's a vast difference between radio/TV/PCs and smartphones x social media mix because of the nature of distraction and its availability 24/7. Hope that different clients will give us more options to choose here :)

Definitely. It seems like there is often very little responsibility put on the individual. I’m not saying the business has 0 responsibility to its customers. It definitely does. But I would like to see the step’s individuals are taking to protect themselves

I think it's the opposite at the moment - apps can do whatever they want and people have to cope with that without proper education which results in mental health problems on a global scale.

But as humans how are we helping ourselves from falling victim to the vice? We aren’t helpless and we are intelligent. We know when an action is hurting us. “Proper education” can be very minimal to prevent action. I don’t know much about heroin but I know I shouldn’t do it for my health. Extreme but related.
