Having gone through the same cycle, I've done some amount of acceptance. HN is least bad, as long as I don't get sucked into writing comments (oops). The total amount of time I 'waste' is really not huge, so I try not to stress about getting it to 0. YMMV, but worth considering.

I did a detox a few years ago. Just HN and maybe some Google news. Eventually I went back to reddit and it felt so weird. It took some time to get addicted to reddit again because it just wasn't as interesting. I really need to detox again because this stuff has ruined my attention span.
