  • I tell myself every morning I’ll go easy on the apps today, and every night I’ve blown right past it again
  • I actually need this app for its real purpose, but the endless feed and the autoplay and the little red badges suck me into a black hole every time I open it
  • Our check-ins have shrunk to "how was your day" / "fine" and nothing real ever opens up
