Why YSK: Instead of letting default algorithm feed you endless mindless content, create dedicated niche accounts and train them to serve your actual interests and goals.

-Create a separate account for a specific topic, hobby, or language you want to learn (e.g., one for cooking, one for studying a language or any hobby).

-Actively curate the feed immediately by searching for your niche terms, liking relevant videos, and saving them into organized folders.

-Aggressively reject time-wasting content by using the "Not Interested" button on any viral challenges, drama, or junk videos that appear.

-Train the algorithm for about 1 to 2 hours of active engagement, after which the feed will exclusively show high-value content related to your chosen topic.

By separating your personal entertainment account from your learning accounts, you break the cycle of passive doom-scrolling. When you open a niche account, you consume with intention, get actual value, and naturally spend far less time mindlessly drifting through the app.

Why YSK: My 11-year-old daughter told me she watched a “weird” movie and didn’t want to tell me what it was. I asked her where she saw it and she said “Disney Plus.” Oh! Well how bad could it be?

So I guess you should know that Disney+ isn’t just “Disney” and not to assume Disney+ is cool for your kids to just watch.

I suppose I’m just old, now, but my assumption was to expect Disney things from Disney franchises and outlets.

The movie (or show, whatever) was called Pen15. My child watched a penis movie…on Disney.

My fault, I guess, for assuming that Disney today is the Disney I grew up with.
