I subscribed to The Athletic for a while, but I kept finding they were embedding links to content from X. Much of it was game footage, I suppose posted by the associated league. I found that I would click on it about half the time, and it was really hard to resist. So, I removed X at the router for the whole house. In reflection, it's been a fantastic choice, and I'm super happy about it.
I used to be a big fan of Twitter, and frankly, I really miss the people whom I followed there. The soul of Twitter died with its purchase; everyone of importance left. Since then, it seems to have gotten worse, not better, and I don't miss it at all. Give it a try, I guarantee that you can also do without it.
