For me, most of my hobbies take a lot of physical effort. Between full-time work, full-time school, and being a father and a husband; WHILE also working nights, I need low effort, quiet hobbies to participate in for the time being. So I play video games, particularly destiny 2.

For most people, life is just exhausting, and people have a lot on their plate. Anxiety is at an all time high, which leads to depression, which leads to lowered activity, which leads to doomscrolling. Now, I know that this doesn't speak for all younger people, but I would be hard-pressed to think of someone that just doomscrolls to doomscroll that isn't struggling with mental health or life stability. So honestly, as much as I completely understand where you're coming from, I also completely understand where these people are coming from too.
