As said below, it’s a job not a conspiracy theory. Heavy use means I use the features extensively. This results in me effectively using my phone only for necessary things, no games, no social media. I don’t understand why you thought I’d spending more time when I use these.
No one has parental control over my phone except me. I have a system which can enter the parental control password (acting as a keyboard over bluetooth) when certain conditions are met, such as when I enter a certain geographical area. The difficulty of having to walk half an hour to unlock the password prevents me from impulsively unlocking parental controls to doomscroll. The system is still under consctruction though.
Working smarter to avoid “using willpower” is a thing since ancient Greeks: https://www.awesomestories.com/asset/view/Odysseus-and-the-S... I pretty much don’t believe in the whole willpower thing (being like a muscle) though.
