I mean, adults are active on social media just as much as kids. But they're supposed to know better where as kids don't.

I know a couple of 50+ YOs that got completely absorbed by TikTok. Like, leave their jobs and "work" on TikTok fame full time. They're now estranged from all their friends and, for all I know, family.

And these numbers ain't precisely going up either.

Happened with YT as well. Those people who get completely absorbed by something like that were going to anyway no matter the medium.

Most adults just don’t fill their lives with much meaningful stuff, or don’t have the money/time either…sadly. The amount of people I know that just get off work and sit around smoking weed gaming/scrolling is pretty intense.
