One invention that made humanity worse, not better: The infinite scroll. Before it existed, content had natural stopping points. You’d finish a page, hit “Next,” and your brain got a moment to ask “Do I actually want more of this?” That tiny friction was a feature, not a bug. The infinite scroll killed it. It didn’t solve a user problem. It solved an engagement metric problem. The entire design intent was to eliminate the exact moment where someone might choose to stop. And it worked: → Screen time exploded → Attention spans collapsed → Billions of people now struggle to sit with boredom And here’s the thing - boredom is where the best thinking happens. Strategy. Creativity. Self-awareness. All of it lives in the empty space that infinite scroll filled with content you never asked for. What makes it dangerous is that it doesn’t feel dangerous. It feels like convenience. Like a better UX. But it quietly restructured how billions of people spend their waking hours - in ways they never consciously chose. Aza Raskin, the person who invented it, publicly said he regrets it. He estimated it wastes roughly 200,000 human lifetimes worth of attention. Every. Single. Day. Not every innovation is progress. Some just look like it. The best products give users control. The worst ones take it away so quietly that no one notices. ----- #productdesign #ux #startups #technology #attention #buildinpublic

I spent 3 days analyzing $1.33B in verified Stripe revenue from 842 startups. The #1 category by revenue isn't AI - it's Security. 69% of startups earn under $1K. 5 startups with <36 followers crossed $1M+. Full data breakdown in the thread 👇

I analyzed 842 startups with VERIFIED Stripe revenue on TrustMRR. $1.33 billion. 48 million transactions. No fluff real data. Here's what's actually making money in 2026 and it's NOT what X thinks.
