I never 'delete' them. I just add them to my ublock and then do not use them anymore. I also am very careful about which site I join. Social media sites come and go quickly and am I missing out a ton of stuff? sure thing. I realized it was consuming my time for other things I care more about. When many of these sites turned from trying to connect me to people and more to trying to outrage me with dumb things as that feeds 'engagement'. I got out.

I also add their sites to ublock as they are many times disguised advertising networks. "why yes I love seeing the last thing I looked at on amazon all over the web" /s.

The time consumption was a big one for me. It is easy to underestimate how much time 30 minutes a day is in 10 years. People always talking about how they have no time etc. But if you can gain 30 minutes a day for something you really enjoy you can become so skilled at it and really enjoy it deeply much faster if you abandon any interruptions to that thing.
