Mindlessly scrolling YouTube shorts is the one I need to get rid of.
Discussion
This scrolling apps are fucking poison. So easy to start accidentally scrolling. The brain feels defenseless, even more defenseless than TV.
Wish there was YouTube - Documentaries Only version, without all the ads, shorts, algos and other stuff..
There is so much quality content out there, which the algo doesn’t push, and also which you won’t prioritise bc you are used to that instant and mild dopamine hit…
Use invidious to avoid the temptation. Install a browser plugin to make it automatic.
Link?
I use yewtu.be because its easy to remember. Just paste the youtube url and it will find the video you want to watch.
