Has anyone else noticed smartphones have got significantly more addictive recently - eviltoast

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

    I’ve noticed the recommendations suck now. It that’s their attempt at sucking me in?

    Idk I am pretty addicted, but it’s like Netflix where I spend more time selecting than watching nowadays.

    Kinda looking forward to Google making me fight for ad free YouTube. There is a 0% chance I will continue to use YouTube if there are any ads in my way. Even a stationary suggestion in my feed? Nope, fuck that. As soon as revanced is toast I’ll leave YouTube like I did reddit.

    But the recommendations are God awful now.
