Okay then what's stopping you from deleting TikTok and quitting Twitter? Sounds like a hell you've created for yourself.

My opinionated guess is many people are afraid of being alone with their thoughts.

    Dave, your behavior indicates a possible existential crisis in the next hours.
    How about watching people making food in the most ridiculous way on TikTok?

To be fair, being alone with your thoughts can be scary. That's why even before the Internet we read cereal boxes during breakfast, or shampoo bottles in the toilet.

Or, maybe these platforms have A/B tested dopamine hits for its users? Nothing to do with being alone just engineered technology tapping into our normal brain function.

I bet you could find some science to back up that opinion because I deeply suspect that's by-design.
