A few days ago, a reader left a message under one of my articles, asking me how can I become better? I gave this reply in the comment section:
Although many people liked it, many readers in the background expressed their confusion and wanted me to explain in detail.
In fact, I gave a detailed explanation of this matter on the planet, and today I will post it on the official account by the way.
Take Toutiao, which has been in the limelight recently. Toutiao has developed quite rapidly in the past two years. From a business point of view, we have to admire Toutiao’s insight into human nature and carefully observe Toutiao’s various product lines. Attention, using the so-called machine recommendation algorithm, which claims to understand you better, allows you to spend all your time on their products. The products can achieve this level, which is very awesome and has to be admired.
But from the user's point of view, this product is tantamount to a mental drug. You can easily get some pleasure without any thinking. This is the easiest for your brain to accept, but over time, your brain will Gradually lose the ability to think independently. When you spend most of your time on this kind of satisfaction that can be easily obtained without thinking, you are gradually becoming decadent.
Therefore, I have reminded everyone on my planet many times that the combination of work and rest is worth encouraging, but if you want to be excellent, spend less time on various news media and communities. It used to be news, Weibo, Zhihu, Now it’s Toutiao, Douyin, and Kuaishou. These products will unknowingly swallow your time and attention.
Of course, I don't hate this type of product, and I don't express my opinion on whether this type of product should be rectified. I said that from a commercial point of view, this type of product is successful and worthy of admiration, but from myself and from From the user's point of view, remind everyone, at least my golfers and readers, that when more and more peers around you are wasting precious time, you only need to spend your time on more valuable things, so that you can It's already better than everyone else, it's that simple.
I sincerely hope that my golfers and my readers can become better, so a friendly reminder.
