I’ve been warily watching this grow in my own life. At first it was just some podcasts in the background while working. Then it became all kinds of videos. Then it became while taking breaks, preparing food, eating food, using the bathroom, etc. It consumed all my quiet time. I managed to break the habit as a side effect of upending my whole life and digital nomading around for a year and a half (side note, that was a very positive experience, and actually helped, rather than hurt my career.) Now I feel it coming back, and worse thanks to YouTube shorts. I’m going to uninstall the app after writing this.
