If folks can't go cold turkey I'd suggest unfollowing everyone first. It makes the site much more useful and easier to quit.


This was the trick that made it possible for me to stop being addicted to Facebook. You don’t have to fight the urge to load the app. You get a strange sense of satisfaction from slowly unfollowing everything. And the more you unfollow, the less what you’re shown is interesting. You retrain your brain by getting less and less dopamine hits from the action you couldn’t control. Then a day comes where you load the app and there’a simply nothing to see.
