I want to add another perspective here. The app design and distractions can be viewed as an absolutely bad thing, but tbh life may be not that great for some (and that’s also by design, don’t tell me everyone’s going to be .1%). What is actually bad is ads. If you turn off ads, then “distraction” may be seen just as “you made it as a biological entity, you have decent food, home, internet with no ads and lots of time”. I’m neither poor, lone, sad, nor successful, popular or happy by local standards, so I think there’s no personal bias in evaluating this lifestyle. Life is really slow and boring, everything takes hours and unwanted interaction or lots of money, and the internet and apps are nice replacement. You just have to reflect on what you consume and manage your feeds, groups and interests. Same applies to life, so it’s not that different. But for some reason life often gets highlighted as something natural (go get it) and the internet as something making you a sheep. Well, depending on where you live, streets and places can also try to turn you into cattle. Managing your internet life is doable. Don’t hesitate to dislike good content you don’t want. Clean/clear your history when stuck, or redo accounts. Don’t use only a couple of platforms, always research. Take breaks from platforms, not from the internet. So my list is: - remove ads by any means - don’t tolerate ads - manage your feeds - reflect on your state through hours, days and weeks of activity - learn basic eyes-shoulders-torso gymnastics and use these regularly That’s probably it. You may think it’s a bad advice, but it is not an advice. It’s important to learn about yourself and accept what you are, not what some stereotype tells you should be. If you are a lifer, go with it and skip this.
