It’s that you’re instinctually ducking and weaving around an internet and digital ecosystem that continually tries to interrupt you, batting away pop-ups and silencing notifications knowing that they want something from you.

     This definitely resonated with me. I have put a lot of effort into making my experience less shitty, but that isn't feasible for everyone.

     @pluralistic The most obnoxious example I've seen this year was an email saying "We are sure gonna miss you!" that complained that "It's been a while since you shopped with us", when:

     1) I made a purchase from them two weeks prior, and
