A proposed online experiment involves participants refraining from smartphone use for a set number of hours daily, competing for time spent offline, and sharing experiences within a community.

“What if you and I were to um run an online experiment? This is actually serious here. where we said, "Okay, uh, we are going to have you and I and a bunch of people that are going to join us are going to, uh, refrain from any any smartphone use for a certain number of hours per day. And instead of posting your sleep score, uh, which a lot of people are now doing, you're going to post the number of hours that you manage to be offline completely at the end of the day. So, we're going to compete for time away from social media and maybe we even get on Instagram live once a week and we we share our experiences and there's this club of wackos that want to do this right for and and and see where we get with it.”
