I’ve noticed YouTube specifically has become more addictive, I never used to be one to sit and scroll for long durations before but I often catch myself spending way too long on shorts now

Even people or older generations seem to be getting sucked in nowadays

    Personally I think the problem is that YouTube promotes them so much harder than normal videos

    If you look at the homepage of YouTube on mobile you get one normal video, then a row of ~6 shorts, then another normal video and so on

    Much more likely to pique your interest showing you so many more shorts vs videos and once you’re in it’s difficult to break free
