I mostly stopped using Facebook: I slowed down a few years ago, and generally stopped in early 2021. Now I probably open it every few months.

But, I'm still looking at news frequently when I'm on the toilet, or if I'm trying to fill a few minutes. I do it instead of reaching for a magazine. I use Google's feed. It's... addictive... But at the same time, it's not endless. At a certain point the "news" is just the "olds," and if I'm reading the "news" for that long, it's time to switch to Kindle or find something educational.
