Bloody videos/reels on Facebook

I never got into Tiktok or Instagram on purpose, I knew I'd find it addictive.

It feels like in the last year that random videos/reels on Facebook have become such a huge feature, I spend so much time watching total crap, videos of people falling over, videos of people trying on clothes, video of what celebrities look like now and then, videos of someone washing a rug, video clips of random movies and sitcoms. Nothing meaningful, nothing important, complete and utter shit.

I don't want to get rid of Facebook, I just wish I could have thw vidoe/reels options permanently removed 😔

All I can say is well done for resisting this long. I’ve spent way too much time watching reels and TikToks

I think I'm going to have to try and go cold turkey, it's ridiculous. I don't understand how watching total rubbish is so compelling and addictive.

I read mumsnet a lot, and read Twitter a lot before it got ruined by Elon Musk. But the time I've saved from Twitter has all gone to Facebook videos, and then some.
