When I watch videos on my phone, I mostly just watch downloaded TV shows using VLC. I never use the youtube app. If I watch a youtube video, I use Firefox with uBlock origin.
I hate using a small screen, so I watch 99.9% of my videos on my laptop and desktop. I can't stand youtube shorts, so I use an addon to block them.
I hadnβt noticed but I think youβre right
Even people?
TIL not only robots can get addicted to social media
I am using
- Mull + adblock
- greyjay
- jerboah
- several Discuss webapps
- internet searching
- antennapod for podcasts
This is already enough to get me addicted and its not even typical social media
Maybe Instagram. I donβt really like videos but I like environment, art etc pictures
Yeah as much as I hate shorts or reels in theory it's so easy to get sucked in to scrolling for hours. I had to delete instsgram and install an extension that blocks shorts because of it
I don't watch shorts, but the algorithm became absolute trash for me recently.
