I've noticed YouTube specifically has become more addictive, I never used to be one to sit and scroll for long durations before but I often catch myself spending way too long on shorts now

Even people or older generations seem to be getting sucked in nowadays

Okay, I've turned it on and this was the first short to appear.

I'm gonna be honest, it's not making a difference for me personally. If anything I think I'm staring at it more now because I feel like I can see more details in the videos.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Its more about not the immediate effect, but you will develop an observation within a couple days or a week atmost, if the effects are not immediately observable to you. Just turn it off while using camera (obvious reasons), and try at your own liberty.
