#2This is a great idea because it's in that goldilocks zone - pretty easy to toggle but not so easy that I'll disable it for something arbitrary.

#3I'm currently going greyscale and have not noticed many differences in my habits. In the past week I've been using YouTube less but my YouTube habits have always ebbed and flowed. I'm reading the news apps on my phone slightly more.. greyscale makes articles have a dead tree newspaper feel with the black and white photos.

For the record, the most common type of colorblindness is red/green. So it's not like 1/10 men can't see any color and "see the whole world like this".

#10I tried this and it didn't make me use my phone less. That said, I don't use my phone for hours and hours to begin with. Was this anyone else's experience?
