I lean toward "efficient entertainment", but I do sometimes wonder what that chunk of my free time would look like otherwise.

Almost everything you can buy is designed to be addicting. From video games to peanut butter. Because that's how you get people to continue to use your specific product.

So choose your addictions carefully and try to keep them as under control as possible. Sadly, some can do that and some cannot.

True. This might be a more personal thing for me, which is why I felt the severity might be higher than it actually is.

Personal bias about addictions is a real thing and you aren't alone. The shrapnel of an addiction can leave some pretty heavy scars on those who have to live around an addicted person. And it matters not a whit about what the actual addiction is.

If you have those scars, I hope you find internal peace.
