I’ve noticed YouTube specifically has become more addictive, I never used to be one to sit and scroll for long durations before but I often catch myself spending way too long on shorts now

Even people or older generations seem to be getting sucked in nowadays

    No? The opposite of anything, I consume media much more on my TV, PC and via my ereader recently.

    My smartphone has mostly been relegated to a communications device the recent 3-6 months as I’ve lost the will to try to go through media on a needlessly tiny screen. Luckily though, I don’t have a commute any more. But when I did, I read books on the ereader during the train travel instead of being on the phone.

      Same here, I really also switched media consumption to the TV with a nice sound system and only use the phone for communications and podcasts, oh and navigation and music in the car.

      I’ve been considering just getting a dumb phone and maybe a kindle for entertainment

      Problem is I want to be able to run apps like signal, WhatsApp, discord etc
