Raw LLM Responses

There's multiple problems here that are worth thinking about. 1, Watching any video as a driver is definitely not safe. I could see maybe if there was an audio lecture or something that runs through the car sound so you don't have to look at your phone maybe. I would have definitely said something out of concern for both of our wellbeing, and that is definitely going to be a comment I leave in their review. 2, 2-3 hours a day? That seems like a lot to me but Reuters and others are pointing out 2-4 hours per day is average across all social media. On one site, that might be considered to being akin to a use disorder, where if the approach you took couldn't do it, one could get therapy to assist. 3, The algorithm is feeding you what you engage with, so you have to break it to stop viewing such short videos. Turn off notifications. Hide it in the feed, whether through apps or your own Xing. Stop liking and commenting. Start watching longer videos. Play the eight hour music videos. My YT rarely recommends shorts to me. I spend 95% of my time on TT in the following area where the professors and others I follow post "longer" videos. 4, turn off all the notifications and practice breaking the habit. Play music in the morning instead of watching TT or YT. Pick something to research in the afternoon instead of mindlessly scrolling. Start a small hobby in the evening that's free or as one of my favorite creators calls it "a coffee money" hobby. You have to actively practice putting the phone down. I hesitate to call it a drug because that would imply that it is a true addiction that one is powerless over, when we have a significant amount of agency over it...we just forget to use it through exhaustion and convenience.
