Not everyone. Everyone I know loved it.

Likewise! In fact, it was the first time my disabled spouse was able to get some family to talk to her since now they were in the same situation. It also opened up a bunch of services for disabled people since now everyone needed delivery and not answering the door for packages was no longer weird.
yeah, that's real. I'd lost a lot of connection with friends after my mobility deteriorated, and then suddenly I had a mahjong social club every Thursday with old friends! I didn't feel outcast for being shut-in.
They probably loved it because they didn't have to work.

Which is basically just another kind of sitting with a screen strapped to your face. Except less fun.

Work, for most people, is maybe a little too hellish.
