Is there a topic you used to care about that you just stopped following? - the real question

[SilverSurfer]

Wanted real answers rather than what comes up on Google.

Looking for honest opinions rather than the obvious answers.

For context, I am posting from United States so sometimes pricing or availability looks different.

Is it just me or does anyone else feel the same way?

Celebrity culture and pop gossip used to be my guilty pleasure rabbit hole, but around a year ago a switch flipped and I felt profound, bone-deep apathy. It hit me that I was actively choosing to memorize the daily manufactured crises of complete strangers who wouldn't piss on me if I was on fire, while my own immediate community and creative projects were rotting from neglect. What is even the point of caring whether some random actor's marriage is on the rocks? The algorithm feeds us this junk food for the brain until we are hollowed out. Deactivating those feeds felt like scraping heavy grease off my soul.
