In his words, he has “creeper accounts” that he uses to scroll through social feeds like everyone else.“I’m just as bad as everybody else,” he said. “Because I’m human, and they figured out how to bind us. So no, I’m not immune to it.”Garfield said he has to stay disciplined with himself, even without a public profile, because he sips on endless feeds.
