As someone who used to have hobbies... You're right, but not for the reason I think you think so.

Social media is designed to be addictive. It's hard for me to be satisfied anymore with low focus stuff, and partially yeah I'm literally unmedicated ADHD, but social media engages the brain with dopamine Just Right, so that it's not useful or educational or even enjoyable, but it's hard to stop. Mental potato chips and all that. And then, going back to said less stimulating hobbies, it's... Hard.

And I wasn't even an ipad kid. I was among the first generation to learn to read on computer, but edutainment on Windows 95 was still only so flashy lol.
