The feeds and recommendation algorithms are the real time-eaters for me. The things I tried:
- chrome extensions: unhook, stayfocusd, news feed eradicator
- deleted youtube watch history and forbid to collect data for recommendations, which effectively disabled yt shorts
- grayscale display for my phone
- switching from news aggregators and social apps with recommendations to basic RSS feeds
But even I consume information now only from my carefully curated subscriptions I realized I still need to filter out most of the articles. E.g https://news.ycombinator.com/best has ~20 articles per day and this is only one RSS source. So, I just LLM-filter them.
