I don't know if this counts as low enough tech, but I disabled the equivalent of "auto advance to next episode" on my Netflix and Prime Video subscriptions.

This means that watching the next episode of a show has to be a conscious choice on my part as opposed to the inertia of just letting it happen. Just the small added friction of having to hunt down the remote control and hit "Play" gives me a few seconds to (albeit involuntarily) reflect on whether I really need to watch the next episode, or if I could really be doing other hobbies / chores around the flat.

The result has been a notable decrease in binge-watching, a cleaner and more organised home, more/better sleep, and the subsequent improved health that follows the aforesaid.

I did the same thing and I enjoy Netflix much more. My maim gripe was that it always treated the ending music and credits as disposable. However, sitting and listening to the music and reading the credits helps me reflect on what I just watched and get the full experience the artist intended.

I did this too! Huge quality of life increase, especially with Amazon where they barely give you a second to process what you just saw before starting the next episode. Plus, sometimes the music in credits is really good - I'll just sit there and think for a while.

I do this on YouTube of course. But I went a step further and used ublock to hide recommendations on the right, at the end of the video, and when you hit pause.
