🚨 New Episode Drop! 🚨

Our latest episode Doomscroll Patrol has officially landed — and data darling, it’s serving addictive design, legal couture, and a reality check we didn’t know we needed.

There I was, settling in for a quiet night — one screen, one story, one intention — when suddenly I was three scrolls deep, five apps in, and completely detached from where I started. And I couldn’t help but wonder… when did our attention become something we try on… only to realise it was never really ours?

In this episode of Data & The City, we step onto the digital runway of addictive design — where infinite scrolls feel like seamless silhouettes, notifications act like statement accessories, and algorithms dress our feeds better than we dress ourselves. From the rules trying to reshape the system to the psychology keeping us hooked, this episode is your chic survival guide to reclaiming your attention — with style.

This episode’s chapters:
🧵 Doomscroll Patrol — From infinite scroll to autoplay, we break down the design features that keep you hooked — and how the Digital Services Act and Digital Fairness Act are trying to tailor them back into shape.
🎙️ Behind the Seams with Gianclaudio Malgieri — We step into Leiden for a conversation on digital vulnerability, addictive design, and what happens when platforms start shaping not just our data… but our decisions.
📉 The Ultimate Power Move — From courtrooms to coping mechanisms, we explore the real-world consequences of addictive design — and how to take back control of your digital wardrobe.

We’re also gearing up for Spin for Life — participating in a 3-hour spinning marathon to raise awareness and funds for groundbreaking cancer research 💖 If you’d like to support, you can donate via this link: https://www.fightcancer.nl/fundraisers/jennifercrama until 16/04/2026.
