I think this would benefit from being more specific about what “burst of content” it’s addressing. I think the answer is: some bits of Zvi’s “Slack” and “Out to get you”, and maybe some of Benquo’s “Sabbath hard and go home”. But it’s hard to be sure, and it seems like the arguments deployed here aren’t addressing quite the same questions as the ones this is a response to. I mean, Zvi says “some people have their lives consumed by social media” and this says “some people find social media a useful way of keeping in touch with their friends”. It seems obvious that both of those can be right.
So what’s the actual disagreement? I expect there is one, but it’s hard to tell at present. It may just be, e.g., that Zvi feels generally negative, and eukaryote generally negative, about social media...
