Wow 18 minutes per day? How did you recover from this shock?

LOL seriously kids these days spend like 5+ hours per day on these apps.
I understand the sarcasm, but the point i was trying to make is that I would've never thought I was looking at it for more than 5.
I thought or felt I was just checking it few times, not even everyday, and yet that wasn't true.
So imho averaging 18 minutes on something you're actively trying to limit or avoid is quite telling of the time sink it is without you realizing.
For reference, Instagram lets you see how much time you spend on the app, daily and on average.
I was shocked when I found out I averaged almost 18 minutes per day. I just didn’t feel like I spent so much time on it, but then you start realizing all of the pauses and voids it filled here and there and it was almost 20 minutes per day. I started watching the time my SO spent on it, almost two hours per day. Commuting? Instagram. Before falling asleep? Instagram. After coming home from work? Instagram. That’s 15% of her day, of her life, spent on that.
I cannot but have a grim outlook on all of this. Do yourself a favor and set some examples. This whole culture of attention seeking has to die.
