If I understand what you're saying ... my music listening, magazine browsing, movie watching, are all offline these days (#fuckstreaming). I do 3D modeling in an offline app (FreeCAD), 2D "modeling" (Affinity Designer) in an offline app.

The internet is where I get ideas and news (and some of the above content — magazines as PDF for example).

So I guess the "network effect" I keep to as much of a minimum as I reasonably can?

(EDIT: oh, I don't really use my phone except as a camera and road navigator. I would love to have a completely offline map app that was decent.)

For the map app, OsmAnd+ is amazing. https://osmand.net/
