Whatever your health issues are there is a lot that you can do indoors - I’m assuming given how much you’ve been able to type that you can type, so learning to code is a great option.
There’s also role playing games - getting into a regular d and d game can be a great, social thing to do that is way more fulfilling than passively consuming content.
On top of all of that, pirate movies, pirate tv shows.
That would be my advice anyway.

I get that you may have some very significant roadblocks in your life - and they may keep you from doing some things - but they don’t keep you from doing everything.
Your choices are your own to make but if you’re not happy just passively consuming brainrot - and doing so could violate your privacy - then you CAN do something else.
If your concentration is shit then work on getting better at it. If you can’t take art classes just make art.
There are always going to be a million reasons why you can’t or shouldn’t do something. These don’t mean the things are impossible. Just that they’re challenging.
Look - it’s not in me to tell you how to live your life. It doesn’t matter to me one way or the other. But I will say that a lot of what you just wrote sounds like excuses.
You don’t need to make excuses to me - because I don’t care. But please don’t make them to yourself.
If you’re happy with the way things are then cool. If not then there are other paths forward. If you want to take them.

I agree with you wholeheartedly about c.
All over the world governments are doing fuck all about rampant disinformation and destabilization from foreign actors with ill intent while ratcheting up attempts to spy on their own citizens.
A competent governments focus would be on stopping this bullshit from happening, not putting the screws to their own citizens.
While it could be argued that I’d verification would lessen or eliminate foreign actors on social media platforms, I doubt that argument would hold water when the reality of it all sets in.
