2YouTubeOne clip becomes four hours because autoplay never asks.
3InstagramReels turned a photo app into an infinite scroll.
4X (Twitter)Refreshing for news that would have found you anyway.
5RedditThree hours in a thread about something you will never do.
6FacebookStill there, still scrolling, mostly out of habit.
7Candy CrushFive-minute levels designed to end just short of satisfying.
8NetflixTwenty minutes browsing, then watching the thing you saw first.
9TwitchBackground streams that quietly become the whole evening.
10SnapchatStreaks that have to be maintained whether or not there is news.
11PinterestPlanning rooms, meals and trips that stay hypothetical.
12LinkedInReading posts about work instead of doing any.
13EmailChecking a box that refills itself the moment you empty it.
14Clash of ClansTimers that call you back three times a day, for years.
