My approach was to unsubscribe from all my subs. Going there and seeing an empty front page serves as a reminder that there's nothing there for me now, and also jolts me into realizing that I've idly opened it up yet again.

I'll get rid of the app (rif) when it shuts down, but for now, getting slammed in the face by an empty front page is helping me break the habit more naturally than past quit attempts.
