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

Do you mean to tell me that you don't watch long-form porn, spending 6 hours in a row on one video?
