I've taken on myself to customize my social network experience using injected CSS with extensions such as Stylish or Greasemonkey.
Simply adding a noisy background to my Facebook feed (a sunset, really) made it so I spent about half the time I used to there. I also changed all the hues of blue to be red.
I don't seem to mindlessly surf Facebook now.
They tailor those internet "drugs" very well and messing with a few values will remove a lot of the addiction. It's some pretty interesting psychology that is going on and social media won't hesitate to manipulate us in order to get more ads view.
