> But never "I know this is very harmful for my attention span, my mental health, etc".

Early 20's here, and avoid TikTok, Instagram, etc and know Reddit and the like are all of those things listed - though the worst affected for me personally is attention span.



Hacker News might not be the best sample set :p I do all of these too but I really doubt many of my peers do.


I imagine you're quite correct.

I usually just like to chime in when people mention stuff like "no one young <does|knows|cares about> $THING", because I've noticed a trend where the fact that there are young people who care is ignored which I think hurts the case more.

Most of my peers don't care however, at least, not as much as I do though I've made some inroads.
