The algorithms adapt instantly. One click on a silly video in the chat — and the whole feed starts to spiral down. Switching between accounts helps keep the feed clean and maintain awareness in consumption.
This rule can be applied to other platforms as well — from TikTok to Instagram. The main thing is to make the boundary between “I am developing” and “I am procrastinating” visible.
