Very relatable. I've started treating it as a mental diet. Too much consumption leads to health issues. The word "feed" was very accurate for how those things work. I think Midnight.pub and smol.pub are great alternatives.
Good luck with breaking the habits.
that's a great description of what "consuming the net" is......a binge eating of internet junk food. I got to remember this and go on a strict small web diet...cheer! you are brilliant!
