Short YouTube clip by TJ Walker warning viewers that platforms (e.g., Netflix, YouTube) use design features to manipulate attention. Walker advises intentionally 'manipulating' yourself—structuring habits and environment—so your choices serve your own interests rather than the platforms'; he refers to this as the 'TJ Walker habit.'

Everyone everywhere is fighting all day long to manipulate you. When you finish watching one Netflix show or movie, boom. Another one starts playing right away. Netflix wants you to spend more time with them. You got to be aware of that. And you've got to design your life to manipulate yourself to do what's in your best interest, not in the best interest of Netflix or YouTube or anyone else. Follow the TJ Walker habit.
