Here's what works for me: 1. Only permit important notifications 2. Avoid mobile apps like a plague 3. Avoid apps that have dark patterns like deep scrolling 4. Use simple alternatives when available. I use NewPipe instead of YouTube and i.reddit.com in place of reddit.com 5. I know that my time and attention are valuable. There's no reason I should give it to these companies. 6. Use app specific hacks. For example, it's not possible for me to avoid LinkedIn as I am looking for jobs. But instead of routinely browsing it I can just configure daily alerts.
