    Me. I’ll be the final watcher who watches the watchers. You don’t have to worry about me turning into a despot as I’m just too god damned ADHD to run a proper dictatorship.

      So you’ll hyper focus on being a watcher of the watchers until you get overwhelmed by the task and burnout whereupon you’ll be completely absent from the post and the watchers will have no one watching them anymore because you’ll be in bed staring between your phone and the ceiling and you’ll occasionally get out of bed to use the washroom and open your fridge for something to eat but then remember that you haven’t restocked on anything and close the fridge door and go back to bed with a glass of water at least and lament the fact that you are no longer doing the thing you said you would do and you’ll ruminate about that for several hours until you pull up your phone again because enough time has gone by now that the social media feeds are somewhat fresh again and you’re only seeing a handful of stale posts in your feed that you already upvoted but there’s enough new content to keep you scrolling until that gets old so you start looking for something to stream to take your mind off the fact that you’re no longer watching the watchers which would be fine but there’s nothing good enough for you to actually click play on something so you keep scrolling until the app actually stops giving you suggestions which makes you panic for a second because how pathetic is it that you actually scrolled so much that the app isn’t suggesting anything so you end up clicking on The Office for the hundredth time and pick up where you left off the last time you burntout which is the episode where Kevin brings the chili to work and it makes you breath slightly heavier out of your nostrils and it’s just enough dopamine to keep you going for a bit longer.

      I for one welcome our new ADHD overlord.
