A solution that I’m inching towards is just cutting the time I spend watching videos.
After years upon years watching YouTube and finally arriving at degoogling I’m starting to get to the point where I open up yt and … it’s not scratching that itch anymore. The realisation that this time is wasted and could’ve been spent on doing stuff that matters is nagging in my head.
Not to mention the thought of feeding big tech data that might end up aiding another atrocity unto humanity.
I can get my news elsewhere (here for example), tutorials might take some reading instead.
I’m not saying I’m gonna go cold turkey day one and be successful at it. But the idea is growing.
