I am working on leaving a city where I live and moving out to the country side about 2 hours from where I am now. For me it's cost of living, independence, having a garden, and having enough space for my things. I'm no longer working in the city, my job is fully remote and it doesn't make sense for me anymore to pay the premium to live in the city. However, I'm not sure that moving will fix your issue. You can still spend too much time on Twitter and listening to news podcasts and YouTube channels, you don't need to be in the city for that. In fact, maybe staying in the city would be actually better for you. You can socialize, go walk around in the city, try out new restaurants, chat with all kinds of people, and realize that despite your favorite YouTuber saying society lost its ways, you can actually have normals conversations with most people. Remember, whatever makes you miserable, in this case, you can just "stop it" a la Bob Newhart.
