Hoarding-type Scrolling

The author names and describes "Hoarding-type scrolling," the habit of saving good posts or videos for later instead of consuming them now. They contrast it with watching-type scrolling, which they link to a desire for human connection, and reading-type scrolling, where they skim Substack and Reddit posts and mostly look for agreement. They note they keep hundreds of YouTube videos in Watch and Listen playlists, and have more saved content than they could consume in a year. They suggest the real fix is understanding which urge the saving satisfies, and say they practice 5 to 8 minutes of meditation daily.
