    I’ve been thinking of deleting my Reddit account but haven’t gone through with it. This post motivated me enough to at least delete my Reddit app (slide for iOS). So many wasted hours I’ve been spending on that app just mindlessly scrolling like a robot.

    Now to my next addiction: watching YouTube videos which won’t make me smarter (gaming content) on my phone.

      Now to my next addiction: watching YouTube videos which won’t make me smarter (gaming content) on my phone.

      Are you me?

      Jokes aside, I use(d) Apollo for my mindless scrolling of the internet. One feature that I loved was the option to turn off endless scrolling. You would reach an end and have to click to continue scrolling. Often I found myself on my phone without realising, and that feature managed to break me out of it each time.

        Hehe who knows? Brother or sister from a different mother.

        Cool feature, wish slide had that feature. So how do you deal with spending hours watching YouTube videos? The thing about YouTube is that you don’t need an app. You just enter YouTube in your web browser. Avoiding logging in to that site will require a huge amount of self-restraint and since I’ve got an addiction personality that isn’t easy.

      slide (ios) has the best interface among the foss 3rd party apps for reddit. was surprised that it looked different in android so i used infinity there, which isnt as nice.
