It just looks like a video website to me. Is this your first time on a computer? When HAVENT websites tried to catch your attention? This stinks to me like a 50+ person who first discovered the internet in the last 10 years.

You absolutely must use time limiting tools if you're going to use social media. Either ScreenTime on iOS or something like bingeblock elsewhere.
