Used for: Understanding the current digital attention economy and the psychological difficulty of escaping it
Praised: Eerily prescient metaphor for digital life; captures the psychological battle...
"Put down the Skibidi Toilet video and without distraction, watch this 1998 classic because I think it captures a lot of what's going on now and a lot of what we actually probably need to do."
