At some point, the time I spent sitting at my desk looking at the monitor started to get shorter and shorter. Now, I only sit properly in front of the monitor for the minimum time required for work, and the rest of the time I just keep staring at the screen of my smartphone out of habit.
I turn on the screen without meaning, open the YouTube app, and watch videos. I watch domestic current affairs programs, and I also subscribe to channels that help with learning, so I think I am continuously doing something. But the feeling of emptiness keeps growing, and I keep thinking, What am I doing right now?
Above all, even though I believe I am gaining facts and opinions through various videos, I cannot shake off the feeling that I am only becoming like an empty shell, passively reacting to the stimulation shown by the videos passing in front of my eyes.
In short, video media is becoming more and more tiresome.
Moreover, as the number of AI-generated videos increases, at first they seemed amazing, but now I am starting to feel rejection toward them. Especially the investment ads that appear in between—I keep wondering whether they are real people or impersonations using AI, and as this suspicion grows, the videos themselves give me stress instead of joy.
Since production has become easier, it feels like something without value, like spam texts.
So I created a small refuge to escape from this addiction. A quiet shelter made with plain, boring, and outdated-looking text—a little place of escape.
