@Herna To be fair, someone like Nick Offerman most likely has people who help manage his social media accounts.
I personally have multiple social media accounts, but I get my fill after about five minutes a day. I find all the clickbait and posts designed to create outrage to be exhausting.
Different people find different things addictive. :shrug:
Eh - his comments make sense to me. As someone with an "addictive personality," there have been times where I've had to force myself to stop doing something I was really enjoying - just because it was taking up way too much of my time and causing me stress. And in my experience, video games are uniquely good at creating that feeling of "can't stop yet" / "just a little more" that eventually turns into an all-day nonstop playing session.* ("Stardew Valley" and "Elden Ring" are two of the most recent games that took over my life like that.)
Of course, there are other ways to manage that than quitting cold turkey - but it's all about what you prioritize.
(For the record, I don't blame video games for being addictive to me - it's just I know myself, and I've learned I have to be careful about moderating the amount of time I spend with them.)
