you can still rank ways to spend your time. try it. some pass times are more fulfilling than others. reddit and tv, i imagine, are at the bottom of the list for most people.
meanwhile, i know for myself that i almost never regret time spent reading. can’t say the same for the spent on hn/netflix.
so i don’t think it does much good to equate ways to spend time except as a coping mechanism for time poorly spent.

There are tons and tons of books that contribute much less to your life than a good subreddit, I can promise you that. Some books can damage you for life with ideas that are only sound absent other people to talk about with. Give the wrong teen a copy of Mein Kampf and watch what happens. I personally love film and books but these days I love reddit and youtube more. But like when you read good books, it will not do to let the gatekeepers guide your passive atention. You must hunt the prey, break the bones and suck out the marrow yourself. You'll find plenty of emotional and intellectual sustenance on digital mediums if you put in the work. Even on hacker news!
