Just children? I've had to block social media for myself because of how addictive it was / how much time I was wasting.

I will say though, if you are trying to watch videos more from an educational perspective then it can be useful. Although, I would advise getting an LLM summary of the video, and then speed reading the summary in order to determine if their is any useful content in there.




Yes, but it's still a whole other can of worms when someone else is responsible for your behaviour and relationships with most of the society.


Could you give a description of how you block social media? All methods I found so far can be undone within seconds.


Remove app, block website like it's an ad, parental controls, unfollow everything, log out, forget credentials, delete account.

You don't need to make the website unreachable, only to delay the impulse for long enough.


For me apps like Opal work really well.
