Overindulgence to the point of disgust worked relatively well for me. Imgur: fun for a while, then it's a handful of themes-of-the-day and rapid-fire stock comments. Reddit: teenagers and kidults either desperately trying to sound smart while peddling left or right wing of the same US bubble, or again just polluting the site with current stock responses.
YouTube: a few good recommendations, and lots of clickbait junk. Oh my god the clickbait. I whipped up a uBlock filter to get rid of ‘insane’ and ‘you won't believe’. Also 99% of videos are 10:01 in length. However I kinda managed to do the ‘deliberate’ thing by collecting promising videos into ‘watch later’ playlists—hundreds of vids are in there now.
I may be hitting this point with HN, as the low-effort sentiment on many topics is easily predicted. Thankfully there are still plenty of articles too involved, technical and boring to just spit out a readymade opinion.
I heard that WoW players kick the habit by moving to a new server: when you have to grind again (afaiu), the game becomes tedious.
