🛑 Wait!

Ours is a "read-first" media page, meaning all of the content is made to be read but if you want the original video/audio you can look it up. Or.. you can email us for it no questions asked at hey@appstinence.org. We do this so you can get the info you're looking for with the lowest stimulus possible. Before opening the links below, we STRONGLY suggest you use an ad-free browser like Brave and UnHook to block Youtube suggestions. You can also use StayFocusd and toggle on all of the Youtube blockers. These are all free and easy to set up. *We do not get any commission for these suggestions, they’re just neat..!
