So what? Every generation has their form of entertainment. How is this worse than reading a book or watching TV or playing a video game for fun? Or spending your time on Lemmy? Or really just doing anything for fun where you don’t expect an outcome. I don’t want to work every living minute.
Also yeah, you could learn a language a year if you do it every day but
Social media is mostly used if you don’t have anything else to do and can’t just leave. So like on the toilet or in school. Also who says they aren’t doing something productive while watching? It makes repetitive tasks less boring. So you can totally still learn carpentry while watching TikTok or anything really.
Time you enjoy isn’t time bad spend. Why do anything you hate doing? How does sailing around the world or learning a new language makes you enjoy your life more? Also: how is sailing the sea more productive than watching TikTok when most of the time, you do nothing on the ship.
For the same reason that studying art makes you enjoy life more. You see things you’ve never seen before. You learn new things to appreciate and you learn how to appreciate things in a new way.
