Why Russia isn't actually collapsing (RealLifeLore on YT)

It's a bit long and I don't remember everything, but a good part is that Saudi Arabia reduced their oil production so that the price goes up, and Russia is still selling a lot of oil to China and others

Maybe they're afraid it could spread to a lot more users

Because you are the product being sold, and advertisers are the customers

Adding to the "no standard bootloader" point: you can't boot your typical smartphone from a DVD or USB stick like you do for a PC. The procedure to flash a new rom is probably meant only for recovery purposes by tech support, rather than the end user

It's mostly not your fault. Apps, games, and socials are intentionally designed to be addictive. That's because the more time you spend on them, the more ad revenue the owners make.

If sheer willpower doesn't work, find other ways around it. Someone else already suggested going to a library or another place, that's good advice. Of you phone is an issue, you could turn it off and allow yourself to turn it back on after you've been productive for an hour, or after you have achieved a specific goal.
