This is an experimental commitment device market about restricting use of a variety of social media and video content apps on mobile devices. I mainly use Twitch and YouTube a lot and want to see how this restriction affects my daily life.

1. Timeframe

• 2025-09-26 to 2025-10-03, inclusive.

2. Covered apps and devices

• YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, Reddit, Instagram, Facebook, and other apps and websites that primarily deliver video content; devices: smartphones, tablets, laptops.

3. Exceptions

• Educational use: Allowed when directly related to my studies.

• Secondary functions: Messaging, bookmarking/saving links, or remote/control functions are allowed.

• No circumvention: No using other apps (e.g., browsers) on mobile to access the same content to evade these rules.

4. Daily threshold

• Any non‑exception usage under 5 minutes per app per day does not count toward a violation.

3. Resolution criteria

• YES if, for every day in the timeframe, usage on covered devices either falls under the allowed exceptions or remains under 5 minutes of non‑exception usage per app.

• NO if, on any day in the timeframe, non‑exception usage exceeds 5 minutes per app.

Additional notes:

• I will not trade on this market.

• I'll delete most of those apps to make it easier.
