Very fair argument. Modern news is all trash media. It’s there to get clicks, for advertising dollars. I don’t think the open floodgates of TikTok, YouTube and Facebook are healthy at all. But saying “the world is burning down and there’s nothing I can do so let me ignore it” is not healthy or helpful in my opinion.

Oh yeah it's certainly not helpful, but I can't blame people for tuning out for their own health. The game is rigged against us :/
