The problem can be isolated to algorithmic feeds [0]. They encourage consumption over action, take you in unwanted directions and induce FOMO through overchoice and unrealistic standards. If you can eliminate them, these services magically become tools rather than escapes.
Unless "action" excludes things like "liking", commenting, and posting, this isn't true. Most feeds start out by trying to encourage "like" interactions because that's generally the easiest thing to directly optimize for. Next they encourage things like getting the viewer to post their own content, or leave a comment, or share the post.
I'd be happy to write more about how these algorithms work if you're interested.
There are a lot of issues using the Like/View/Click/Upvote count as a feedback signal of what to learn, pay attention too and emulate. Also the whole imposed subscribe/follow model.
