Every claim below was made in this piece, quoted word for word and numbered in the order the piece makes them, so you can read it there rather than take our word for it. The sentence above each quote is our reading of the claim, not their wording. Each quote was checked against a stored copy of the page at build time; where the two differ, the quote is the fact.

  1. The feeds businesses design to be addictive are obstacles to anyone whose aim is to make something.

    Every business wants to get you addicted to their infinite updates, pings, chats, messages, and news. But if what you want out of life is to create, then those are your obstacles.
  2. Consuming what everyone else consumes gives you no advantage; focus is the rare and valuable thing now.

    You get no competitive edge from consuming the same stuff everyone else is consuming.
