Scrolling was an Escape --> Now its a prison.
A prison we chose willingly.
Confusing right? Why would anyone choose a prison.
Here's why.
Imagine a real prison. Under what conditions would you like to be inside a real prison?
What makes sense here is only if life outside is so unbearable that one feels the need to be in a prison to feel safe.
In our lives the unbearable part is the boredom we experience the emptiness we feel due to excessive stimulation.
When we feel caged in a prison like this the soluation two fold: One is a strategy to escape the prison and Second is to build a life that makes it easy to live life outside it.
