There are definitely many people who almost exclusively spend their time consuming stuff at a young age. I cannot tell however, if that has ever been different, or if it's just perceived differently now. For many people continue consuming a lot their entire lives. The quality of the content one can consume has likely gone up though, or at least it has become addictive.

The idea of only watching saddens me. Doing any creative work is incredibly satisfying, and I think has positive effects on long-term happiness and self-worth.
