feels like it for me. My mood is oscillating way too frequently in a way that I can in my heart tie to what I see on social media. Want to know if anyone’s having a similar experience if you’re a resident of the sites or if I need to go talk to my psychiatrist.

I’ve separated my media. Social media is exclusively for education and dumb stuff. Anything important goes in my RSS feed. That way they stay separate and I don’t get funny video followed by horrors of the modern world
RSS feeds are definitely the way to go. And for YouTube, I never stopped using the subscription feed. I get exactly the videos I ask for from the creators I follow—nothing more, nothing less.
