I kept getting sucked into those 30 second story videos with the robot voice reading Reddit posts, usually losing an hour a night on the couch. So I turned off colors on my screen and the thumbnails stopped pulling me in, my screen time dropped from 4 hours to 51 minutes. Did anyone else try grayscale, or did you find a better way to kill the pull of those dumb feeds?
