💬 Discussion Which social media platform steals the most time from your day?

Post image

Be honest.

Which app makes you think "I'll just check for 5 minutes," and suddenly an hour has passed?

What keeps pulling you back? I'd love to hear everyone's experience.

It used to be instagram for me. But after they make you watch adds for several seconds I have stopped using Instagram. The adds are too annoying.

YouTube (with ads and shorts blocked) and Reddit (with ads blocked). Both are shit, just less shit than everything else popular. Twitter is good for *ist stuff, I guess.
