Brad, I have to admit I was terrified to see the email informing me of your comment. I forgot I'd scheduled this post and it was still a draft 😂 Thankfully, it was in better shape than I remembered 😮💨
Love the cinema analogy! I found this easy to write because I've also fallen into this hole 200 odd times. Haha, I nearly went down the plant care app rabbit hole a while ago. But I settled on a spreadsheet. And then just realised that after a month or keeping on top of it, my human brain remembered what to do (water them each Sunday, pay attention etc). +1 on reddit too, I still use it a lot for human answers to basic questions.
You're right that there is some strange fetish in trying to create collections and play "info games" with whatever data an app is concerned with. But again, 99% of the time it distracts from the main thing you're trying to do, likely to "promote engagement"
Agree 110% except for ChatGPT!
Haha, I knew ChatGPT would pop up here. It's not hit that 1% difference for me yet, but I'm interested to see how it's impacting others.
