Love this post - I've been doing the same with TV subscriptions and use Newsfeed eradicator for most social apps (although Linkedin is a necessary evil on a job hunt)

Was looking for a way to eradicate YT shorts - thanks for sharing that.

I've been starting the day with substack lately vs reading books but agreed - reading books is almost like meditation compared to other media (which is a trance like state akin to digital drugs - and porn is the cocaine)

To be honest online reading is so ingrained now in my content diet that it's normal to have 10-20 ish tabs open now. Trying to cull this by selecting fewer publications to read and Marie Kondo my way through it (what life do you want and how is this adding/subtracting from it?)

I admire how intentional you're approaching your internet feed. Your point about renting a movie/TV show vs paying for a subscription makes so much sense.

Also, Kirby and The Forgotten Land is awesome.
