I think he made a good video but I couldn't stop thinking about this new "anti-consumerism consumerism". So many "I needed my phone to do x, so I bought this to do that." Even without the immediate ability to buy anything anywhere he is fundamentally locked into this mindset of "I need so I buy".

Could have used parental controls(like so many "adults" need to have their friends set on their phone) and locked your phone as only a phone. Delete every app that isn't essential. You can make your phone useless when you're bored, you can pick it up but nothing will be there to give you "relief". No distractions, no ability to install distractions. Your phone is yours, you can have it do whatever you want. I guess some people are just so addicted they can't even be near it. They're like people that stop smoking just to get addicted to vaping. Still addicted, just not to the old dirty style of getting your fix.
