Description

Zoe Strimpel explains why she's decided to lean in to social media, and not worry about how much time she spends scrolling.

Despite ongoing concerns about its impact on our brains, Zoe says she's personally found the algorithm benign, offering her endless information about food and cooking.

"I have come to the conclusion that for a grown woman with many cares, it's mostly beneficial, interesting, soothing and yes, also sometimes even useful"
