I don’t have high hopes. Kevin and Alexis had an opportunity to succeed with Digg and Reddit already. The enshittification of Digg was complete, there’s no going back. And Reddit, well, it’s Reddit.

We need something new and innovative, and I don’t see resurrecting a dead horse as adding any value to the current ecosystem of social and news apps.

The short videos on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, etc. can be extremely comforting for someone struggling with how their brain and mind function. The feeling when you see someone experiencing exactly what you’re experiencing, and explaining it in such an identifiable manner, can be exhilarating. This doesn’t mean your friend does or does not have ADHD, but it may help her better articulate what she’s going through, and it may help her feel less alone.

I don’t know what Country/State/Territory/Province/County etc. you and your friend are in, but the process for an ADHD diagnosis differs the world over. Your Country etc. may have some online resources that can help explain the diagnostic criteria and process. There are also some good videos on YouTube by medical professionals (YouTube confirm this below each video) that discuss ADHD symptoms, diagnosis, treatment etc. in detail.

Seems like a pretty weak strategy. Essentially saying “we will sell expensive stuff because people buy the cheap stuff online”. It’s not like they haven’t always sold the expensive stuff anyway - how is this any different? Not the sort of “strategy” I’d want to see if I was one of their investors/owners.
