> you are in a tiny minority of incredibly focused people.

I have never been described as a focused person but I have never lost an hour to Instagram because I do not use Instagram. Nor do I use Facebook or any other social media apps. Not a one is even installed on my phone.

If you lose an hour to Instagram that is entirely on you. Instagram has to ask you to turn on notifications. You choose to open it.

Turn off all your notifications and silence your ringer and your phone won't distract you with anything. Even better delete social media apps that demand your engagement to make them money. If you feel you must use some social media only do so through their web apps.

By allowing notifications you're participating in your own abuse.
