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

I relate to this more than op. I pretty much only use lemmy and discuit, and then twitch and discord for gaming. And I spend way less time on them than i did on reddit. Youtube has never been my thing. I hate being talked at by some try hard asshole trying to get me to subscribe to their mediocre channel. And the community there feels like it’s mostly people under the age of 16. No thanks. In general, the enshitiffication is real, and it’s pushing me away.
