That article was so conflated and entirely waffle, I couldn't read it. It doesn't offer science behind brain rot. I think it's ok for you to have an opinion for yourself on what brain rot is, absolutely, but when you start going warmonger on it, you should really make sure you have more science to give you an understanding and ability to communicate your opinions with more clarity.

There is science out there, but not in the way you might be thinking, based on some of your opinions expressed here. Brain rot isn't going to be able to be avoided by curating the content, the effect of disassociation is caused by distraction, it could be argued any content caused that disassociative effect, which essentially sends your brain into a form of fight or flight, causing it to feel like it's not safe to be here,( if I have to disassociate).

I don't have any great articles to link at this time. But I would suggest it's a personal balance thing. Taking the time to limit the time you spend on the internet, yourself personally, and just taking a moment to exist, just breathe and be, where you are, right now.

The more engaging and interesting posts will naturally float to the top. Maybe, you need to change your settings, or the app you use to engage if you are getting fed with everything as its first posted. I noticed an entirely different experience going from boost to voyager app.

This place isn't about one person deciding for everyone, what is and should be, the antithesis of that is why this place exists, and I'm sure you're noticing, you don't have many people who agree with you. Maybe Either your delivery needs to change, when discussing your opinion, or your opinion itself, might need some expansion and nuance.
