I wrote boringstreamer to listen to my collection. I start one or more instances on different ports in different directories and connect to different ports similar to fm radio frequencies. (With tailscale I can listen from anywhere without any explicit access control.)
Short story:
1. immediate effect of your effort is always fun
2. spinning something gives you that immediate effect
3. earlier phones were easy to spin, smartphones are like a brick, we wanted to change that.
I invited a psychologist to explain why ~600 users like to have a spiniot on their phones. He came up with these 3 ideas:
- immediate effect of effort gives you a rare positive sensation
- contrary to angular forms circular forms are engaging, when spinning your smartphone, you draw several colorful circular forms
- adults play for the same reason as kids
During occasional breaks, spinning your smartphone gives you a short but fulfilling positive sensation. After that you don't feel the urge to check all the usual distracting sources of procrastination (news, twitter, email...) and you are motivated to get back to what you were doing immediately.
