dealgorithmizating myself

lately, ironically, my youtube algorithm has been recommending me videoblogs of people ripping off their smartphones from their lifes and replacing it with real life activities because they wanted to stop being slaves of their phones, also videoessays about how the algorithms nowadays are basically ruining and homogenizing us. I agreed a lot with those views, and I kinda wanna engage in that too, I think it will do me well, but will do it in my own way

most people I watched doing this, yeah, buy another phone, flip phones to be exact. they just are able to call and message, some of them are more intelligent. is a nice way of avoiding the shit actually! but the contradiction I felt is that, is this anti-tendency microtendency making me think I should buy a new phone so I can be anti-tendency? isn't this consumism too? why I would need a new phone if I already have a phone? also most of them replaced the things their smartphones do buying more things like mp3s, portable consoles, kindles... why I would buy all of that that I don't have if I already have this thing that can function like that? I think the problem is not the smartphone itself, the problem are the social media and the algorithms. 

so my plan is, yeah, use my phone for listening to music, the radio, read books, play games, watch movies... but uninstall the shit. no infinite scrolling.

I'll keep more real social media like here tho, because I'm a little asocial irl but also a human so I need interaction with people or I'll go crazy lmaoo
