If you’re up for a left-field idea… give yourself a 6 month free pass to keep doing exactly what you’re doing (so in your case that sounds like buying that extra storage!) but start collecting data on what you consume.
Don’t do anything manually, you’ll probably find it hard to track everything that way - but a script to parse your browse history (usually a sqlite file in your profile - and depending on browser you may be able to see sync’d history from other devices), your watch history in your video storage/streaming services, your # views of photos etc etc
See if you can enrich your metrics collection with the inevitable global variables of life (time of day you consumed something, what was the weather like, was that a work day, check the hours of sleep & exercise you had from your phone or wherever…)
Best case: you get to know yourself a little better.
I’ve done this twice now, first time was a complete waste of time. I learned nothing of value. Second time lead to me ditching a ton of podcasts, renewing my audible subscription but changing the types of books i get, it was also the turning point for coming off facebook for me, there were a bunch of really high value outcomes that second time.
