Do you have a smartphone? The average person checks their phone about 300 times a day and spends 50 days a year scrolling on them. App culture and algorithms designed to addict people have taken over public consciousness and most are not self aware of it. Most are addicted to being constantly reachable, constantly distracted with the latest social media notifications and most shrug it off because seemingly everyone else has the same addiction. When you stop using surveillance capitalism services, or a smartphone entirely, it becomes easy to see these addictions in others and it looks gross seeing families at restaurants all staring at their phones in a circle. At least console video games do not follow you around in your pocket. You generally spend at least time fully walking away from game consoles, but almost no one leaves home without their social media notification machines.
