that depends on where you draw the line of free will. I know people who use that exact same argument for why they use tik tok. They "enjoy the time-wasting aspects", especially in down time. To me it looks like they're stuck and their happiness is suffering. The problem is what we think we want is shaped by society, culture, and now big tech companies. Instagram made the goal of millions of teenagers to "want" to get more followers. It was always of their own free will, and yet I would argue it was a huge net loss for teenagers and societies. Staying in touch with friends is great, and tech like this makes it so much easier, especially when in different timezones/continents, but these days I just think you lose more than you gain. The same for filling in-between time with a game. It's fun and I want to do it, but my mind in the long run is happier when it's given space.
