I stopped watching short form content last year. I’m not on instagram/X etc, only on YouTube.
My only annoyance is that YouTube still insists on shoving them in my face on the app homepage even though I don’t watch them. It just requires a modicum of willpower now not to click and go down the rabbit hole, which I’ll occasionally fail at.
Try to turn off YouTube watch history.
You get no feed at all. It’s marvelous.
