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

    For me it’s certainly the short form content, as I’ve found myself getting hooked on it on PC to the point I have to snap out of it and instantly close the tab once I realise what’s happening. This isn’t happening with my normal subscription feed, because it’s not a never ending stream of content.

      I need you to try desaturation trick once, and for atleast a couple days or week. You will notice the difference instantly.

        Okay, I’ve turned it on and this was the first short to appear.

        I’m gonna be honest, it’s not making a difference for me personally. If anything I think I’m staring at it more now because I feel like I can see more details in the videos.

          Its more about not the immediate effect, but you will develop an observation within a couple days or a week atmost, if the effects are not immediately observable to you. Just turn it off while using camera (obvious reasons), and try at your own liberty.
