After a decade of literary fiction I'm going back to check on some more mainstream stuff. I'm reading The Dark Tower saga by Stephen King. Just starting the first book.

My go-to for like 5 years has been StudyGE. It's just a Geography game, but for the rare ocassions where I have nothing else to do and I don't have Internet in my phone I go to it.
There's also the trivia game Dilemo, though that is in Spanish and I think it might have some ads, it's just that it serves them so infrequently that I'm not even sure if I hallucinated them. Like I think it only serves ads when you have been playing it for long-ass sessions, and I usually only play for a few minutes, so.

There were some political subs that were civil and conversely there were a lot of non-politics subs that posted ragebait all the time. I was 10 years in Reddit and through that I filtered hundreds and hundreds of subs to the point where my r/all was almost tailor-made for me, with a focus on my mental wellbeing and some of my politics allowed but even lots of political subs I agreed with filtered as to not doom my daily mood. And something curious I noticed was that in the last year or so there has been an uptick in ragebait videos specifically in video-focused subreddits that were pretty chill before. It almost felt like some people were coordinating from Discord or something to post these videos at the optimal hours and boost them with the initial upvotes and everything. One by one a lot of subs were colonized by these types of videos. Many times pushing race anxiety issues. I only noticed because every 2 o 3 weeks I had to filter another one: PublicFreakout, JusticeServed, fightporn, WinStupidPrizes, Whatcouldgowrong, dankvideos, DocumentedFights, CrazyFuckingVideos, Unexpected, NextFuckingLevel, etc.
My main question is how do I stop the feed from autorefreshing. I've tried switching all the knobs for feed types but the autorefresh is insane. Like I try to see the most popular posts and I can't even read their titles before it's flooded with new posts with 1 upvote.
Shop Titans (played on PC). It's just predatorial and I got caught in its addictive gameplay loop for every waking hour of 2 days. I'm lucky that it was only 48 hours (compared to other people) and that I hate playing on mobile unless it's short sessions of non-mechanical stuff because it seems mobile is full of games like this.
