Here's how I've managed my social:

* Deleted Facebook. Don't miss it one bit.

* Deleted Reddit. I open the app every once in a while, scan what's popular. But not a lot.

* Pruned twitter. I don't follow anyone on Twitter anymore, save my partner. I deleted all my posts, going back to the beginning. I don't read it anymore, but I've preserved my username.

* Kept Instagram. I like following certain people in places around the world I have a travel connection too. And certain athletes in sports I follow.

And so... If there's no benefit to posting -- there's very little inclination to consume. No arguing, no triggering, no pavlov-ian itch.

I post to Instagram, I post a little bit here on YC. This leveling keeps the "push for pellet", or "pull down for more content" habits very minimal.
