Yes, I have done exactly what you described recently. I live in Ukraine and all our mass media are wartime-censoured, so I got rid of them first. Russian media which are speaking not from Russia usually are good source of info about war but I seem to be overloaded with war news, so I got rid of it next. Russian IT sources like habrahabr.ru are steadily degrading in quality of content and fraction of content per adware, so I got rid of it as soon as I understood I really can read HN without a translator which happened this year. Other parts of Cyrillic Internets were degraded way earlier and there is just nothing to read except of torrents with old books which I use to read very often. For me there is easy to stop reading news in my mother language because our culture is dying.

So, except of HN I have only Youtube time sucker and I really miss the times when my Internet connection used to be too slow to watch videos. But I appreciate YT for be a source of information from both camps, I use to consume roughly equally amount of war information from both camps for not get polarized. Consuming really low amount of information and not having a smartphone allows me to read a lot of books and even keep progressing in Mathematics not because of job but because of joy.
