Comment on Any suggestions for overcoming addiction to capitalist big tech social media and streaming etc?

Get a library card and go to town on some books. I’m using reading to replace my social media/Netflix/YouTube time. Aiming for one book every two weeks for 2024 since I’m a pretty slow reader.

Bonus: If your library has Libby you can rip the DRM using calibre and build out your collection on your ereader. My library offers free DRM-free music streaming and 5 mp3 downloads/day from “freegalmusic”. They also offer free streaming services for movies and TV but I haven’t used those since the point is to read more not watch more bullshit, but could aid as way of weaning yourself off after cancelling other subscriptions
