The redundant nature of mass scale internet content operates on spaced repetition I think. If you doom scroll HN for example, over time you’ll know more about random things. WSB might be a better example. I didn’t realize how many stock ticker prices and movements over the last few years are now embedded in my mind, without deliberately trying.
This is the 1000th time you’ll have read the same thing. The hivemind naturally regurgitates the same information at a predictable cadence. We’re due for a few Rust posts on HN, for example.
If you stay tapped in, you will always be learning from this organic body.

Not really. Depends on the definition of spaced repetition, but you typically want increasing intervals (normally exponentially) for it to be effective.
