I have mostly left social media, but I have not seen the need to delete my accounts yet. For Twitter, I never use the feed but rather bookmark links to one specific account that I read. Facebook I open about twice a month just to see if I have been invited to a birthday party or anything like that. Instagram I just went 7 weeks without opening.

Turning off the machine feeding stuff to my brain really has helped me. I feel better, cleaner and less disturbed/distracted.

Now I am actually considering leaving YouTube as well, although it has been such a lovely place at times, since I notice it is deteriorating my health.

I recommend you try it; nothing has to be deleted. It's simply removing the habit of using it. It does make life a bit better :)

Oh, and a good first step is to install the extension `News Feed Eradicator`. This is how I got started. I run it on everything.
