one way to look at it is a blessing in disguise. instead of dissociating with YT, now you have all this time to figure out who you actually are and then become that thing. i imagine it's more rewarding than passively watching YT.

Because hobbies don't exist? Only jobs?

figuring out who you are isn't specifically career related. it's whoever you are. the focus here is doing/being authentic. authenticity isn't a passive activity.

What comments like this fail to understand is that people sometimes like to do nothing with their free time.

YouTube became as popular as it is because it fulfilled a necessity, for good or bad
