The majority of the online entertainment for me is YouTube, so I probably couldn't just quit it. I bailed on reddit to come here, but reddit was only 2-3 hours a day, YouTube is like 10+ hours a day for me.
Have you timed this?
No, but basically anytime I'm on my laptop youtube is running, and I spend all of my time on my laptop. If I play a game, it's typically taking up 2/3rds of my screen so i can still have youtube playing on the side.
He spends 13+ hours a day on just two platforms. Why would anyone lie on the internet?
I use less Lemmy than I did Reddit, and I don't use Reddit at all anymore, so it isn't really 13+ hours. Also youtube can run while I'm on Lemmy, so in the space of 2 hours I can be on Lemmy + YouTube for 4 hours.
Maybe you just didn't consider that I have minimal interaction with actual people outside of work, and I don't work much.
