I only re-activate Facebook when I want to buy something from Marketplace. Deleted the IG app again recently. Also figured out how to change settings on YouTube so I can't scroll through reels and turned off auto play. I'm banned from Reddit and Twitter. Never got into Tik Tok or Threads. Very happy about all of that

To add to this for youtube the unhook extension is great to block everything other than search and playing vids

Then I permanently block youtube and reddit on phone. I've explored quite a few blockers - AppBlock for android is the best I've used / has no bugs on my now older s21.
