I’ve noticed YouTube specifically has become more addictive, I never used to be one to sit and scroll for long durations before but I often catch myself spending way too long on shorts now

Even people or older generations seem to be getting sucked in nowadays

    Big tech writes the equivalent of digital heroin.

    The longer they can keep you on their platforms,
    the more they can data-farm you,
    the more data they have on you,
    the more they can sell about you / earn on you.

    Detox yourself from your bad heroin addiction,
    by switching to fair FOSS (Free Open Source Software) alternatives.

    E.g. Use Invidious, Grayjay or NewPipe instead of YouTube.
