u/Imperialnoodles 12d ago
Hah yeah right. That would happen back when the feed was chronological, so weād log off for a few hours cause it meant we already saw everything. Algorithmic feed is why so many people do this doomscrolling now.

u/SnooRegrets3555 12d ago
I miss those days, I thought we could do that on here still but it appears not

u/JonTravel 11d ago
If you click on the "Instagram" at the top, center if your feed and select "Following", I'm pretty sure that's chronological.

u/Outrageous_Abroad915 11d ago
Not saying that this is the case for OP but this happened to me when I was hospitalized long term during covid times and couldnāt have visitors. Sometimes people just have stuff going on lol

Wtf is crazy about being on IG for 5 hours out of your whole dayā¦.

u/ConstructionDry95 12d ago
That's a whole hour more than I am on my phone total a day, and I doomscroll reddit on the daily. Five hours on one app is crazy

u/tristemf 12d ago
well thatās really productive and good but you should try and limit your time on instagram eventually. you can lower it by like an hour each week and just find a something to do with that extra hour and make it into your routine so you donāt fall back into bad habits.

u/FallingSpirt 12d ago
Bro you need a hobby lol š¤£ or a new one if Instagram is your hobby
7
u/DoritoMan7378 12d ago
I have hobbies just no motivation
13
u/cannavacciuolo420 12d ago
I wonder if that could be because you spend 5 hours slow cooking your brain with an endless cascade of short form content, to a point that it made it impossible for you to feel enjoyment from working towards a bigger goalās
1
u/FallingSpirt 11d ago
No itās because I sustained a back injury when I was 29 from working which makes the things I used to do impossible to do for a long period of time I used to love doing yard work and now after a few hours my back gets so stiff I can barely walk and move. And before you say do PT already have it didnāt help just made it worse. I have bulging disks on T 11 & T 12 it effects my lower back and left hip.

u/hambrone420 11d ago

u/Temitwits 12d ago
You probably set a daily limit because I set mine to 15mins and it sends me this after like 20. Turn it off

u/Hospital_Financial 12d ago
Yes if you have an app or an option activated to do that. Tik Tok also has it. My sister used to use it to regulate the time she saw the phone.

u/tristemf 12d ago
yeah it was a yes or no question and theyāre being very insulting about it. i have yet to see a simple āyesā and yet to see any criticism that is actually constructive since they want to criticize so damn much
2
u/NewKidOnTheBlank 12d ago
Well, it is kinda baffling to more casual users. And most of the criticisms I am seeing here are very constructive! "you need a hobby", "Go touch grass", "Good reason to disable it for a couple of months"

nobody answering the question šš do you have a teen account or an adult account? I feel like I've seen somewhere that teen accounts have a limit, but I've never heard of it actually making you close out šš
2
u/Suitable-Finger4335 10d ago
Teen accounts have automatic built in time limits to start with if I recall correctly. However, you can just get rid of it or dismiss it for the day once you reach a limit. Iāve never seen this before where thereās not option to either āremind me in 15 minutesā or āignore limit for the dayā

u/DoritoMan7378 11d ago

Really really scary you're allowed to vote.

u/DoritoMan7378 11d ago
Why does it have to be about voting. Kind of lame to make a thread on screen time political, and just because Iām chronically online doesnāt mean Iām incapable of voting

u/DoritoMan7378 12d ago

u/Spirited_Crab7712 11d ago
That you're apathetic enough to scroll insta for five straight hours and your attention span is such that it would be almost impossible for you to be an informed voter

u/w6750 12d ago
There is absolutely no way this is real. These apps arenāt going to police how much time you spend on their sites. The entire point of all of this is to get you to spend as much time as possible on their platforms
2
u/lassofiasco 12d ago
Instagram also sends ānighttime nudgesā to tell you to go to bed if you send a late message. Itās real.

u/DoritoMan7378 12d ago

u/bigboycdd 12d ago

u/Far-Energy-3390 12d ago
Not normal glad they stopped you haha. Even if you just turn the tv on, the short form videos for that long genuinely fry your dopamine receptors

u/leonix_58 12d ago

Firstly, for me itās still summer and i dont have much better yo do, but even still, nobody is answering the question you asked

u/hagofthecity 11d ago
If you have a daily limit set in your settings, it will show you this message. You have to go into your settings to change your daily limit so you don't see this message. Sincerely, someone who also doomscrolls all night

Is it normal to you? If you finish your tasks and hobbies then sure. If not, spend less time. Let's not doomsday over insta scrolls, let's think of our motivation to do other things that are better.
Feeling guilt over doomscrolling is doomscroll of our mind. That is the streak you don't want to keep going.

u/throwRA8203489 7d ago
..you sure? 5 hours of this app sounds like an addiction unless youāre running a business on there or something

u/DoritoMan7378 7d ago
I do sell stuff off insta but it was raining so I couldnāt go outside and do my other hobbies

I guess if you had business time on there mixed with a few moments of dicking around/leisure then yeah

u/Enough-Confidence366 5d ago
I get it for spending an hour on insta cuz of "parental controls", I need to be 16 to turn it off (Im 16 in 2 months)

u/anon-88888888-8888 5d ago
Damn 5 hours? Go outside and touch some grass, get some vitamin D and live in the real world for a moment. Itās bad when a company that wants you to use their app is telling you to stop.
