Instead, try cutting the triggers with an ad blocker and a few changes to your settings. I hide recommended content, unsubscribe from everything, unfollow everything, and generally have a "don't call me, I'll call you" approach to information. I went as far as removing pagination buttons on websites I tend to browse too much. I also use Pocket to save more interesting articles. Combined with a "things I don't understand" to-do list, I spend more time reading about practical things instead of just browsing. I don't regret that sort of reading.
