I wouldn't say it's as easy at Twitter. Twitter has an algorithm so you can be lazy. Mastadon requires that you actually go find the stuff that you want to see. The upside is that Mastadon doesn't waste your time with a bunch of garbage that "tHe AlGoRiThM" forces in front of you: it just gives you exactly what you asked for, instead. But you can't brainlessly scroll for hours with zero input the way you can with Twitter.

some people still watch television and they don't think that's a bad thing

I have an antenna and it's often easier to channel surf than try to think of something to watch

Heck yeah, I mean Hell yeah. I always gravitate towards something I've already watched a million times if I'm streaming to TV. Honestly can't deal with commercial television anymore though.
