Turn Off Autoplay on Every Platform You Use

You sit down to watch one episode, and ninety minutes later you are three episodes deeper with no memory of deciding to keep going. Autoplay is not an accident — it is a default specifically designed to remove the moment where you would normally stop and ask whether you actually want more.

Removing the default removes the temptation, so you never have to rely on willpower alone. Turn off autoplay in every streaming and social app you use — most hide the setting under playback or accessibility, and it takes about a minute per app.
