If you really want to fix your Twitter/YouTube addiction the easiest way I've found to do it is unfollow/unsubscribe/unlike everything, turn off watch history, & install plugins like Control Panel for Twitter and Unhook for YouTube.

A little friction is the best way, agreed. Another thing I do is read Reddit on old.Reddit.com on mobile. I destroyed my login by changing the password to a random string I don’t remember. It’s kind of hard to read and hard to collapse comments correctly. The default subreddits are atrocious. I find that it has cut my Reddit time to about 10m/day.

As I read this it strikes me how powerful addiction and habit are that I still go at all
