I find this kind of feels like a squeeze on one's attention.
Where every app or signup has this false premise seeded in a design that it alone is at the center of your digital existence and therefore you can do anything it takes to vie for and keep attention and engagement because the product may experience too much attrition otherwise.
1) Take color away from sites who abuse it and watch your attention and focus go through the roof.

Grayscale the Web is a handy extension. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/grayscale-the-web-...
It has a setting to just turn off all color, or just a site.
2) Add a firewall layer when signing up. I recently registered a voip number and an extra email account to check out for things.
It stops explosions of emails and text messages on my space of the same try to chase people into engaging in a pipeline.
It's surprising how few of these well oiled machines can do without being able to interrupt you constantly.
3) Notifications off, and checking them scheduled.
A good way to test any product beyond it is to silence all notifications. Maybe I have a habit to keep going back, or not.
