      Can't you just easily bypass Screen Zen, or any blocking app if you go to settings -> screen time -> and turn of access to that app? Everything falls apart because of this loophole.

    You are so right about app design. I have a smart phone from ~ 2013 that I opened recently. Snapchat was chat and friends list, thats it. No news, no stories, no scroll. Iphone apps especially are now 99% bloat with 2% functionality.

      @@jenHry-ng3pwthat’s not what he’s saying. He is saying that all the best social media and games were made free because the general public prioritized free apps when phones first came out because they were more accessible or didn’t want to pay. These companies realized that if they made their apps free to make them appealing, and they could compensate that loss monetarily with data collection, and that incentivized creating addictive algorithms that allowed them to scrape far more than just basic data but all the way up to behavioral patterns per advertising ID and patterns and consistent interests that you engage with. And that ironically created a more consistent form of revenue because then they can turn around and use that data and patterns to help you sell products to the general people… for a small fee, eventually motivating the continual evolution of algorithms on social media especially.

    its wild that we (as society, not what youre content is wrong, because you are right!) need a video on this, since most of the time its based on self reflection, and simply, just removing whats distracting you. IF youre committed to that, and sadly most arent

    I have to thank you in a big way! Just five minutes after getting that Untrap UA-cam extension I felt such an great sense of relief. I can still engage with the content I like, use the website for all good that it has, but now those addictive shorts are just gone! It feels like the UA-cam I've been wanting this whole time. I feel in control! Best couple dollars I ever spent!

    I did the dumb phone and I love it so far. I was so addicted to social media and I just took them off my pages and that solved it. But my final addiction is watching so much youtube videos now. I average 3+ hours a day and 24hr a week. And that less than %30 from last week. So Im hopping this dumb phone and limitations apps help with this. Thanks again this dumb phone is a great idea.

      I realized I’m in the same pattern. I’ve been almost completely off social media for 2 years now (haven’t deleted my accounts but I don’t use them unless someone sends me a link to something on one of them) but as a result I’ve switched to a more intense UA-cam addiction. 😞 I wish there was a way to change your UA-cam app and not just the browser UA-cam.

    In the past I used to spend an unhealthy amount of time on social media (mainly facebook), there were periods that I would average 4-5 hours just scrolling. Realized that I need to stop this so I've been doing the same for about 2 years now and I can guarantee that it worked. By doing that, I have more free time to do productive things, not to mention better mental health and positivity.
    btw, I'm also using immersion and your korekara podcasts help a lot.

    “The dose makes the poison.” Really like this approach. While I’m not setting up my phone to this same degree, I think we could all benefit from uninstalling some apps and turning off some notifications.
    One more to add - unsubscribe from emails!

    On IOS, when you swipe all the way right, the app library shows up with all your apps. What do you do about that?

    • @reysu
      @reysu  6 місяців тому +16

      unfortunately you can't remove the app library but a few things you can do:
      - turn off badges in the app library (makes it less busy)
      - use your phone in gray scale (makes it less busy)
      - block apps when not in use (it grays the icon)
      - add a few blank pages before the app library

      when I'm on desktop during my scheduled times I can see the feed. The reason is because I occasionally come across super valuable videos so I would never block UA-cam completely

    I would NOT not bring my phone whenever I'm out and about. I'm an AFAB transmasculine person pre-everything and I just can't afford it. Although risk is not that high... the risk is still there, and by bringing my phone with me, I have a way to reach out. That phone, whenever I'm out, stays glued to me, no matter what.
