somewhat unrelated, but i really wish platforms like youtube and instagram had the ability to "opt-out" of certain features. i find that the short form content in youtube shorts / instagram reels can be really easy to waste a few minutes on.
if anyone knows any solutions (ex. browser extensions) that solve this, id be really interested
- notben 1y agoFor YouTube there is the Chrome/Firefox extension Unhook which allows you to hide certain parts of the UI
- id34 1y agoFor Android/iOS I've used ScreenZen, which is wonderfully configurable.
- sckleinis_8 1y agoExtensions are necessary if you want to use any social media app these days, for YT there's UnTrap for YouTube. I don't use Xitter anymore, but when I did, Control Panel for Twitter was my go to. It's insane how better (and boring/less addictive) social media becomes by simple enhancements.
