Maria Hollenhorst

Maria Hollenhorst is the reporter for the Marketplace Tech episode Trying to stay off your phone? There’s an app for that. Her reporting uses a Clearspace user, her own test of the app, Tanya Sujohn’s design critique, and Ben Goldhersh’s physical anti-scrolling experiments to frame phone reduction as a market and design problem.

Her role in the wiki is to connect everyday screen-time anxiety to Digital Detox Economy and Screen Time Friction. The segment does not treat phone overuse only as weak discipline; it asks why consumers buy tools to resist devices and platforms designed to be hard to leave.
