besides the surveilence part, yes I do. social acceptance is a huge part of being a teen, no matter the social circle.

I was on irc throughout my early teens.

IRC in the old days is only tangentially analogous to today's sophisticated addiction services.

I suggest watching the Social Dillema on Netflix for an idea. Here's a decent article I recently read on the subject, though there are probably better ones: https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-lonely-burden-of-todays-tee...

Perhaps my argument is not clear enough, but it feels like we are not arguing the same point. I have no problem with technology, simply that kids should not be the product. There are plenty of higher-quality alternatives, just like there are alternatives to broadcast television and McDonalds.
