I've minimized my short form video consumption and reliance on Youtube for entertainment for this very reason. Podcasts are great to listen to when I'm doing chores

For someone who subbed to self hosted almost as soon as they joined Lemmy I am really conservative about what I host. I have tried to keep all media in jellyfin to keep things sinple. But recently I expanded to audiobookshelf and wow!

Ripped some of my audiobooks and added some podcasts and now we have a family library and everyone has their own progress and settings working across devices. I am still spending a lot of time consuming media but I think it's a much healthier balance.
