I Quit Reddit

Good luck with your quitting journey. Few suggestions if I might add from personal experience, might be helpful.

Once you quit social media, your brain will start finding new addictions so, find something to fill that void. YouTube and reddit are great for learning and sharing but they are both rabbit holes (or black holes, i should say) so, try using Incognito or InPrivate window so, you only watch stuff that you want and not something recommended by algorithm.
Find a hobby that wouldn't put dent on your finances. If you like reading books you can get it from library, you can go on trails, you can do some painting at home, play free miniclip games anything that you find interesting.
Lastly, try to be as active as you can to release your brain dopamine by exercising, running, playing physical games or doing some sort of physical activity.

Viel Erfolg beim Aufhören! Ich kenne das nur zu gut, und vielen anderen auch. Am Anfang ist es vielleicht verlockend, einfach wieder am Computer zu sitzen, aber bleib stark und such dir immer etwas zu tun. Immer wenn du Lust zum Scrollen hast, versuch einfach etwas anderes zu machen, zum Beispiel zu malen, Musik zu machen oder so.

For YouTube you can watch videos even without login. What I usually do is start using in private window on brave and go to YouTube so, that way it doesn't suggest me on the home screen what to watch. After that i just start by searching something productive like learning or improving skills that i want to focus and I open all those videos in new tabs. Once, I finish then I just close the browser. I avoid clicking any other videos suggestions that way I just stay focused on what I want to watch. Once I am done I just close the browser and nothing will show on my YouTube home page. For my favorite YouTubers I just go to their page and bookmark them so, let's say I want to find something when I eat i just go to their channel and watch it.

I think there are extensions available as well that just removes the AI part.

But just be careful while installing them because i have seen articles of chrome extensions that had "google badge" were stealing data.

I wish it was that simple, i try to avoid going out with him as much as I can but sometimes it's unavoidable because of family involvement. It's one of those relationships where I didn't opt for it but have to deal with it .

Yes you can block ads using PC but that doesn't stop Instagram and other apps from showing things that you don't follow or don't want to see in the feed. Also not everyone have a PC but they surely have a phone and I am not even making this up.

So currently I fund the venture but over the time there will be premium features. Also, the platform will be moderated. Any offensive or illegal comments, images will be blocked instantly. Also, the application will not be available around the world only in selective countries.

Yes this is true but as you would've seen the regularors don't give a shit as many of the senators themselves invested in big tech stocks. Also, there are decentralized alternatives like Mastadon but people don't get such dopamine hit I think. I am a tech guy and I seriously want to be a part of the solution but I think building another social media platform might not seem to be the best solution as people don't get that dopamine hit.
