When TikTok first came out, I tried it and unambiguously thought "I am too old for this, this is not good for me, I don't like this"

Fast forward to today and Facebook, Youtube, and Instagram have all effectively become TikTok. If I have some downtime to watch a youtube video or check what my friends are up to on instagram, I inevitably get sucked into forever-scrolling short-form video content.

I realize there is a will-power component to this, but I'm losing the war. I don't want to give up Youtube completely just to avoid the scrolling.

I have tried a few Chrome extensions but have not found any that reliably work. I also use an iPhone.

Looking for tools or tips/tricks to avoid the rabbit hole.
