I agree. Mobile internet is a double-edged sword: super useful, super distracting / addicting. Several years ago, I rooted my android to add sites such as reddit and nytimes (news junkie) to map to 0.0.0.0 in the hostfile, effectively blocking them. Then, I removed the file navigator (ES File Explorer).
I have found this sufficient.
- pnloyd 8y agoWhy not block hacker news? Not as addicting as the others? Edit: oops didn't see your list wasn't exhaustive.
- cgoecknerwald 8y agoHackerNews also seems to be designed to be less addicting and immediately rewarding, don't you think? It's more geared towards technical deep reads than BBC or something similar.
