'keep blocking selfies i deleted it's easy' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'keep blocking selfies i deleted it's easy' is the wordplay.
'keep' becomes 'fort' (I've seen this before).
'blocking' indicates putting letters inside.
'deleted' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'it's easy' indicates an anagram (a loosened or easy version of the letters).
'selfies' with 'i' taken away is 'selfes'.
'selfes' with letters rearranged gives 'efless'.
'fort' placed within 'efless' is 'EFFORTLESS'.
