It's more about wanting to take a break from looking at a screen and watching shitty ads for so many hours per day.

People need to (re)discover adblockers and alternative apps.

Firefox+uBlock Origin takes care of nearly all ads on the web.
NewPipe Lets you watch YouTube without ads (and lets you download videos).
Pixelfed is like insta without the ads (or people, lets be honest, but you gotta be the change you want to see)
Mastodon is twitter without ads
Lemmy reddit without ads

We have the tools and technology, its just a matter of people making the move, but that's hard because of the network effect.
