For me, that was the YouTube recommendations. Between the clickbait and the algorithm just being good, it could suck hours of my life. Thanks God I found out about unhook extension, i disable absolutely everything but the video, and I use freetube to monitor my subscribed channel, so that I don't even need a Google account and the only thing that appear in my 'feed' is video of channel i subscribed to. And even then, freetube has a setting to remove clickbait title and thumbnail.. It's been years like that and it feel so much better. I believe there are tools, extensions, to fight back against the addictiveness of these websites but the general population doesn't know about them and once you're hooked you don't even think about it. Smartphone just make it even worst but it in no way enabled it.
