Most people are on autopilot most of the time.

You’d be a highly effective addictions councillor, especially for physical dependence

The best method for stopping addictions is motivation. If you got enough motivation you can do anything. To get that motivation, you need reasons, and you have to find those reasons, and in this case, is that clickbaits waste your time.

That's my method. And you probably could say "people sometimes can't see the reasons" - that's another issue, and there are different solutions to this, but it is a problem.

Edit: live as you want, but I believe that the best way to you live life is to first control your life.
