Well, you know, that could also be because the youth racks up student debt, can't afford to buy their own houses, are expected to slave away their life for sub minimal wage jobs etc.

Which is why I don't get why smartphones and social media are almost solely blamed in these kinds of discussion. We have COVID since one year, wealth gaps are getting bigger etc.
