David Gomes(@davidgomes):I just went through 72+ hours without X/Twitter. I got banned for suspicion of someone trying to hack my account (happened to a few of us from Cursor->SpaceXAI). The addiction is real. I tried to open X a bunch of times, and my wife even offered to have me user her account (but the algorithm wouldn't be the same haha). I didn't have a "grand realization" from my time off. However, I was able to realize how addicted I am and maybe I should be more cognizant of that in the future!
