New essay explores how engagement optimization destroys natural temporal rhythms, fragments attention into notification-sized chunks, and creates chronic temporal anxiety. Covers acceleration traps, elimination of patience, commodification of moments, and loss of deep time.
Updated all existing Algorithm Eats essays with cross-references to the new Time essay, and added it to the Algorithmic Critique theme page.
