  • Other than these just being addictive, as they are meant to be, there can be another contributing factor - lack of continuous block of free time.

    I am going to make a terrible analogy as usual.
    Day, week, month, etc. are like a HDD.
    In those, time for work, kids, cleaning, cooking, etc. is like data.
    If you’ve got just the work, you can fit in other normal activities like reading, watching movies, going out, etc.
    With more tasks throughout the day, you might still technically have enough free time, but fragmented, and that’s quite an issue. Watching a movie is best done in one go. Perhaps you can split it up to 2 halves if needed. But with many tasks, you might end up with just 10/20/30 minute breaks at a time, and then it’s not worth it to even start anything.
    But short form media? You might have like 20 seconds per video. That will absolutely fit into any break.
    And so that’s the only thing they might end up doing.
