Approaches Compared

Approach	How It Works	Pros	Cons
Social media digest	Add X accounts, subreddits, and YouTube channels to a digest that delivers content via email	No need to open social apps; content comes to you on your schedule	You won't see every post, just highlights
RSS feeds for social platforms	Convert social media feeds to RSS using third-party tools, then read in an RSS reader	Works with existing RSS readers	Fragile; many platforms actively block RSS; requires technical setup
Screen time limits	Use iOS Screen Time or Android Digital Wellbeing to set daily limits	Free; built into your phone	Easy to override; doesn't solve the underlying need for the content

Digest Is Best For

People who deleted social media apps but still want to follow specific accounts
