A feed cutter, a derivative of a @Cord Cutter, is someone who shields themselves from the behavioral manipulation used by social platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, etc.
“Our devices and technology have gotten to know us so well that we now need devices and technology to protect us from them.” ~ @Neil Strauss, @Tribe of Mentors
This response to @Human Use of Human Beings has been gaining in popularity. As tech giants like @Apple release @Digital Wellness functionality like @Screen Time, users of these devices and technology are coming to more broadly understand how they've been engineered to be addictive. A variety of devices and technology are used by feed cutters to protect themselves from the user experiences designed to immerse them. Tracking tools like @RescueTime illuminate where time is being spent while blocking tools like @Facebook Newsfeed Eradicator limit endless scrolling. ::embed[https://www.youtube.com/embed/A7apzf-8jqU]{provider=youtube}
