    Yeah, I don’t know why everyone in this thread is bitching. You can go back to that lifestyle anytime you want. Delete tiktok/facebook/messaging app/whatevs on phone. Put music on it. Only call people. It’s really easy to NOT have subscriptions to everything.

    You can just not subscribe. I don’t have any tech subscriptions at all, other than just my internet company and my phone plan (which is the cheapest phone plan). That’s it. If I try something and it looks cool, then I see I’d have to “subscribe,” then I just delete and move on.

    It ain’t that fucking hard. From the whining from babies in this thread, you all couldn’t have fucking handled the 90’s. LMAO

      I really don’t get it either. Like it’s some impossible task to just stop using certain apps or some shit.

      I don’t use social media(except Lemmy, I guess, if you count that(I don’t)). The only notifications I get on my phone are from texts. I haven’t touched Tiktok since 2019. I don’t scroll YouTube shorts 24/7.

      Everyone’s acting like this is some drug or addiction. And maybe it is to some, but again it goes right back to self control.
