I think what is interesting is that it is not necessarily the content of the brainrot that makes us underperform, but the act of swiping [0] and the context switching [1].

These attempts to make educational short form content still suffer from the same drawbacks, so I wonder how effective they truly are.

I think it's "this one is good but if I swipe the next one can be even better", i.e. classic dopamine addiction. Stop digging!

This is it. Modern social media is a Skinner box. The context switching is a feature (short term dopamine hit in exchange for deep learning).
