Give infinite feeds an ending
Saved to my collection.
END THE FEEDmake browsing finite
Turn infinite browsing into a finite queue, then add a pause before the apps that pull you back.
A feed can run without end. Opening the app can also be automatic.
Save worthwhile items, leave the feed, and consume from that list until it is empty. Place an obstacle before the apps you reach for automatically.
