I am looking for a UI (web browser or app) to use on my Android phone that lets me access instagram, but which doesn’t give me such easy access to reels and other video content. I am imagining something similar to Newpipe that uses a different UI to provide access to the same content, but which isn’t such an attention trap.

Is there a reason that instagram and facebook have such curated experiences while youtube is able to get presented so differently by third party apps?
