What's TV got to do with anything? Your whole argument is wrong. People have written books and books about how a technology encourages a particular way of interacting with it and discards the rest. Youtube carefully encourages addictive watching. Blaming the victims and saying "it's your fault" is an argument from two decades ago, before we knew better.

Because people want to zone out with their addictions. If they didn't have YouTube or endless scrolling, they'd stay in front of the TV just as their parents or grand parents, and if they didn't have that they'd spend every evening drinking and playing cards or dice for money.

I wouldn't call somebody who sits and watch YouTube clickbait "a victim".
