I am afraid to even install TikTok. For past 6 months, I have spent an average of 4 to 5 hours on Youtube Shorts. I was addicted to them. And it is a much less addictive version of TT (or so I am told).

I forcefully broke the habit by disabling the YT app. Then I started watching them in the browser.

It took enormous will to break out of that addiction (and other addictions as well. I removed Reddit, Twitter, IG, FB and SC)

YET, I still spend an hour, randomly, on YT shorts.

I am worried for the future of my next generation, where their most productive time would be a relaxing break from social media.
