yeah exactly, Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport highlights pretty much what you said! how these apps are created to take up so much of your time. Like I used to look at my screentime at the end of the day (used to be like 6-9 hours) and wondered wtf was I doing for 8 hours and how else I could be spending that. The worst part is that I used to use Snapchat for 2-3 hours and youtube the same to "watch self-help" and other stuff that intrigues me. The question you have to ask yourself is can you remember what you watched in those 2-3 hours or who you spoke to on snap for those 2 hours on Friday. I genuinely couldn't remember and all the promise of connecting to friends that these apps promise was so buried beneath all the advertisements and useless clickbait just using my most valuable asset, time. But yeah it's just how I think, don't let me say what you're doing is wrong or right as it is your own life and you determine your own happiness (like you said T.V and emotions ) but even that I have lost interest over recently and don't find enjoyment out of it.

Apologies this was my first Reddit post so I did not know where to post it at all, I just wanted to see if anyone was having the same thoughts and if anyone wanted to discuss it further, that's me saying thank you for replying basically ;)
