    I only have an Instagram account to follow when special beers are released by a local brewery. That’s their only method of communication, which is annoying.

    I have found myself on IG watching skateboarding or cliff diving videos for 15 or 20 minutes before catching myself. It’s crazy how addicting it can be. I’m not doom scrolling or even researching a hobby I often do. I just find those videos fascinating, and it keeps feeding that to me. I just don’t open IG anymore.

      You can set limits with warnings. It’s super helpful. I get a warning if I’ve spent more than 15 minutes a day on it. It actually cuts me off after 30.

        I just don’t use it anymore. Saves me money on beer. I opened it up last week for the first time in 2 months to see if Pliny the Younger was on tap at a local bar.

      I recommend imginn for checking instagram via a browser. I use it for basically the same reason, checking on local businesses.
