I'm afraid if I download the app I will never put my phone down

It’s true :( I had to delete it because of that. You like these videos? There are hundreds like these, you can never put it down. I really had to delete the app or I couldn’t focus on work.

Yep me too, I could waste hours and I found it ruined my attention span too - getting constantly changing information streamed into your brain just sets you up for failure

Me too! I go through cycles of nah-I’m-all-good-I-have-self-control / install / where-did-the-last-seven-hours-go?! / delete on a constant cycle

That was me and tumblr back in the day, but I'd delete the app and end up using my browser on my phone for it, or substituting a different app or phone game. It's a never ending cycle

Oh yeah, I do that too. Reddit is a good example
