It really is! I was off for about three months, and I decided to go back to it just to be up-to-date with some friends and creators, right? Well, I was doom-scrolling for hours in about just a week of usage. Whenever that happens, I uninstall the app causing it, so I just deleted it again. The craziest part? After a couple of hours, I could feel the craving to open the app. Crazy shit.
I use instaDM. I am not able to see what other people post unless I go to their profile, but default won't show it anyway most of the time as it will mainly give short content videos so I just removed the feed altogether
Bleeper is also a good option. That said, do you have any solution for shorts on YouTube?
I use Revanced, but my wife has an iphone and she struggles.
Well I have android too so I block all shorts with revanced. Maybe she can try YTLite ? https://github.com/dayanch96/YTLite I see on the screenshots there are some yt short settings
