I could relate and have experienced at some point in my life all of these issues except that squeezing method. I personally just let tea bag in cup for 5 min or so and then squeeze it with my fingers when it is not boiling hot.
What now? Why is anyone squeezing a tea bag? Is this some sort of catholic, I deserve to be miserable kind of thing? Why ruin your tea with fines and bitter tannins?

As long as you’re drinking it black (no milk), when you’re finished, you can just pour on more hot water, and get a free drink. Your free drink will be slightly weaker than the previous one. You can then repeat this until all flavour is gone.

WTF is this string squeeze technique?!
Squidge the bag against the side of the cup with the spoon.

I like it because it reduces bin juice.
But I like the tannins!
I’m too lazy to remove the teabag, what now Brits

It’s disturbing to hear, but at least laziness is an ethos I can get behind.
But the ultimate question is, will this be a case where the username checks out?
Otherwise the teabags drips all over the surface!
If you must know, most of the time I don’t use a teabag. I use loose leaf in a teapot. No squeezing required.
Maybe I enjoy the misery.
Welp my super catholic mom squeezes her teabags until not a single drop more comes out. It’s awful. I never squeeze a teabag!
