An interesting read. I've noticed it becomes a habit to "question" the urge. I used to click the ridiculous video links till I started adding a "but" to it.
"I can click this link but what value does it add?"
If my answer didn't come to something positive I'd skip it. After a while I didn't even have the urge to click anymore. Once you understand how an urge works it becomes easier to work against them whenever you find them in your life.

What a fascinating breakdown of the different types of curiously and how they relate to impulsivity with news consumption. Thanks for writing.
Thank you, so happy you enjoyed it!
