IMO, part of the solution to endless scrolling is to not implement the feature where you can endless scroll. Instead, have an explicit next page button after some moderate amount of scrolling. (Also having the pop up is good, you could even let people program the pop up to be more frequent etc.)
there’s a broader category of things which are not literally scrolling but still time wasting / consuming info not to enrich oneself, but to push the dopamine button, and I think even removing the scroll doesn’t fix this (my phone is intentionally quite high friction to use and I still fail to stay off of it)
