Totally agree. While I certainly spent too much time on reddit, there is so much more. I can add to your list messaging with friends, quick payments, uber/train/flight apps, 2FA auth, spotify, quick queries to chatgpt, tracking workouts. I even use instagram mainly to keep in touch with acquaintances outside of my close friend circle and learning about interesting events.

Instagram is the only point I’ll disagree on - it’s mostly become promoted content with friends content representing a fraction of what you’re being exposed to

Best is to not have the app and use it through the browser to avoid mindlock
