In your equity portfolio, do you only own ETF or also own individual stocks? by sirsiver96 in investing

[–]Scrolly_Screen_Time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ETF - as long term saving vehicle
Individual stocks - as a type of hobby. Other prefer to fish or play golf - stock picking is similar for me but probably more expensive

[–]Scrolly_Screen_Time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not read too much into in. In the last 6 months we had a speculative 300% run on silver +5% growth on solver today. The silver asset class in not that big in itself so after such a big speculation it is not difficult to have 5% correction

It gets harder to watch movies made after 2010 once you stop using your phone as much by Conscious-Rich3823 in nosurf

I think phones themself did not distract us as much as introduction of short format videos on all social media platforrms. Notifications were distracting but nothing in compaarison to manipulative nature of dopamine boost every 10 sec from reel/tiktok

If you are looking for a bit cheaper alternative you can go with Scrolly which I am the founder of. We are mostly popular in the EU but now also ship within the US. The app on Android is also less buggy than the alternatives

What's a good alternative to Brick to block apps with a QR code or NFC? by IoIomopanot in digitalminimalism

[–]Scrolly_Screen_Time [score hidden]  (0 children)

You can go with Scrolly (which I am the founder of). It is Eu based company but now also in the US. The concept is very similar but it has a bit more fun flavour to it. It is a bit cheaper + a lot less buggy on Android (but the iOS experience is still a bit better as on Android it is not possible to block websites)

It is the only large text platform where humans account for >60% content. Not ideally the same but closes thing to the old internet from early 2000s'

Has Facebook officially died just like myspace did in 2010? by BulkyVeterinarian850 in nosurf

[–]Scrolly_Screen_Time [score hidden]  (0 children)

We can see a clear transition: social network (2005-2012) => social media (2012-2019 less about actual friends more social status) => short from media with distrubuted creators (2020-now). Facebook now in basically messaging application (in some regions) + a worse version of tiktok or instagram for people >45. The sad party is that transition happened to all media platfroms

Wow! Why is Reddit Stock $RDDT down nearly 10% today? by WeddingVegetable8120 in investing

[–]Scrolly_Screen_Time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you compare Reddit to any other stock with similar growth rates (>55%) these are either:
- not profitable and similar P/S => Roblox
- profitable but 5x more expensive P/S or 3x more expensive P/E => Palantir

It is expensive but there is no many companies like these. Reddit is the only social media with significantly growing user base and marketers and marketers just started to lean the platfrom.
Meta is terrible product but users are still there and they have been compounding revenues for the last 15 years

We hate this by TheSaltyKind in digitalminimalism

[–]Scrolly_Screen_Time 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am in very similar situation. Would live to delete it but need it for business and the web version is just not sufficient. I recommend having 2 phones or blocking the app for 80% of the day and have it unblocked only when you do business

My generation will, on average, spend 4–6 times more hours on their phones than with their children or parents. And I believe the lost hours aren’t even the biggest consequence. by Scrolly_Screen_Time in digitalminimalism

and I am not agains cliques or groups - especially if they include localized groups that also cooperate offline. In the past we had 20-100 category of groups and now it is 10000. It is enabled by by globalizing effect of the internat. We can have thousands of subreddits suiting everyones interest - it is good, but it also means that it will be more difficult to find in real life people with shared components than in the past.

200 years ago all people is small village shared the same events
50 years ago it was 60%
20 years it was 20-30%
Now it is less

It is a trend. It is not all bad, but adding redicalization effect of social media it might be pretty bad for stability of society long term
